What is your price range for used vinyl?


Personally, I enjoy finding nuggets in thriftstores the most. They usually sell for a buck, and if two out of five aren't so hot, no big deal. Once in a while I may spend
$10-15 on a very good condition LP, if I know the music but
haven't been able to find it. I'm curious what price criteria other analog aficionados use.

Speaking solely for myself, I will not pay more than $30-35 for used vinyl -- and that has to be for a LP that I really want. For most other LP's, I will rarely pay more than $20, and again for an LP that I particularly want to own
Well, it depends. I don't go out and buy gallons of stuff just to try it out; I'm usually looking for particular recordings, or at least particular artists. So I tend to prefer shops that actually sort their records--and I pay for that service. Even so, I've picked up plenty of old rock for $2-4. I'll go somewhat higher for jazz, but not too high, because used CDs are less than $10, and I'm not a true vinylphile.

The exceptions are out-of-print stuff. I recently picked up "Delightfulee" by Lee Morgan for $15, and I've spent as much as $30-35 for Yardbirds rarities. (Though now I listen almost exclusively to the excellent Repertoire remasters on CD.)
There is something very satisfying about buying records for a dollar or two at yard sales and such; if the price exceeds 5 or 10 bucks the LP better be very special indeed.
