How to find vinyl?

You're going to love this!! I just started collecting vinyl and have been buying mostly over the internet...
Yesterday I went to a quasi family reunion... and my cousin had in the basement over 3000 lps in mint shape...
He knew of my new vinyl set up and let me pick and choose whatever I wanted!! He had duplicate copies of almost everything.. go figure! Anyway, some choice selections were
Pink Floyd Dark side, picture disc and double LP...
Beatles White Album, Pink Floyd the Wall double lp, Pink Floyd wish you were here, Led zep in thru the out door, Physical Grafitti, Led zep 1 and 3, Some Genisis, Jimi Hendrix experice... god, so many I cant remember...Price..
Free! Gotta Love it... I dont mean to brag, but finding a gold mine like that deserves to be told!!
Anyway I have had very good luck with Adam Zar on line
his company is Adam's Used Records Emporium...
His lps are mint and prices are great!!
Happy Listening!

All of the above ideas are great. Big cities usually have some good record stores (though not always) and most college towns are a safe bet for one or two decent record stores. It becomes a challenege at times. You may spend hours searching through thousands of old must records at some store...finding nothing but Air Supply, 80s metal, and 70s singer songwriter rejects, but there's usually a gem or two hidden in there somewhere. It's fun.

Vinyl for me always put the fun back into music. Enjoy...

The above are all excellent suggestions. I usually don't have much time to go shopping personally, but a few years ago I came across a thread here that mentioned gemm.com and musicstack.com. These are huge sites that represent a number of dealers and they are a tremendous resource for finding vinyl on the internet. You are in for a great time treasure hunting no matter how you get your records. Good luck!

I go to the Atlanta record show every two months. There is plenty of vinyl being sold for a dollar each. Some are still sealed. Of course, there is an abundance of expensive rarities also. And I visit a friend's store in Chattanooga called Chad's Records and Tapes. He also sells at the Atlanta show.
