Where to buy vinyl?

OK, now I've got a Thorens TD 160 with SME Series III arm and Ortofon SME 30H cartridge. I've played the one new record I've got, Coltrane's Ballads, and I must admit it sounds great. So where do I buy vinyl? I prefer jazz, baroque and classical music, especially small groups. I'd especially like to try a few 45 rpm recordings.

A friend received a number of LP's damaged in shipping from amazon, not so from other sellers because of better packaging.

If you want excellent used vinyl, check out some antique malls. I've purchased many that look and play like new for as low as a dollar each. Picked up 90 classical lp's, mostly older Deutsche Grammophon, that look like they have never been played for $25. Just today I was at an antique mall on the north side of Lansing that had 2 dealers with many classical recordings that looked new, for a couple bucks each. (Mega Mall) Sometimes they can be found still sealed, but not often. I'm looking for lp's, not antiques. I don't listen to classical, but at these prices, I'll surely start.

I don't know where you live but your probably surrounded. Take a road trip with a GPS and you will be surprised how many music stores have boatloads of new and used records. Especially if you live near colleges.
