Have you found reliable online used vinyl vendors?

I have found POP market to have some of the greatest specials I've seen. Send me your emails and I'll send you invite with a discount (I believe).

I could reveal to you my secret list of outstanding vinyl vendors with unbelievable records ... But then I'd have to kill you ;-)

Seriously however, the only problem I find with EBay (and this relates to Jazz since that is the only thing I collect) is that everyone seems to be looking for the same 200 jazz records. You'd think that Miles Davis and John Coltrane were the only jazz artists that ever lived and that Blue Note was the only label that knew how to do vinyl.

Fortunately real jazz fans know this is very far from the truth. I am listening right now to a Steeplechase recording of Archie Schepp and Horace Parlance "Trouble in Mind" it is just stunning and I bought it on. eBay for cheap.

I've bought over 3,000 mint classical LP's on ebay. By "mint" I mean good-as-new, apparently never played, some still sealed.

If you can't find them I'd be willing to assist... for a small fee. ;-)

I agree with Dougdeacon. I would estimate that 95% of my vinyl was used when I acquired it. I have only had one bad experience from ebay, and it turned out to be my mistake, as I had misread the ad.

I also buy mostly classical, however. It really does seem like classical music fans take much better care of their LPs. I will concede that it is much more difficult to find used jazz, rock, etc. in good shape. I do buy a fair amount of spoken word recordings, however, and have had very good luck with those.
