Elizabeth,
Vinyl does wear out, you know. I think it is not uncommon for audiophiles to own more than one copy of their favorite albums, especially those that are out of print. I try to draw the line at three...I'd rather have one too many than find myself wishing I had bought that extra copy when I could have.
Now to the issue at hand, TDSOTM, WYWH, and The Wall were recently reissued on vinyl with all the bells and whistles that make audiophile fans of Pink Floyd take notice. Mint copies of the originals sell for much more than what these reissues retail for, especially WYWH. So it was a no-brainer for PF fans to go for them, even if they already owned a used (and most likely pretty worn-out) copies of the albums.
