Looking for Old Vinyl Records.

Post by StormCrow »

Anyone happen to have any info on where/how to look for vintage vinyl.

I'd like to get some original Vinyl Led Zeppelin albums, since i recently appropriated a turntable, and it'd be nice to have some badass shit to play on it.

I was checking out like E-bay and such, but damn prices seem a little high, but i guess its not easy to find working vinyl for such popular bands eh.

also i guess collecting has something to do with the ridiculous pricing eh.

i bought a bunch of vynils off of ebay
usually shipping is a bitch as well, probably because of size and fragility
often i found and bought the vyunil for 1-5 bucks, but had to pay 10-12 bucks in shipping

if not, you can try pawn shops, used music store as well
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Check your local thrift store, you never know when you will find a gem like Led Zeppelin

Pawn shop and buying records in bulk from big suppliers trying to get rid of an entire stock are the ways to go. But you can expect to pay more than you'd think for them.

Another option, although im not sure how viable. Is try to find a company that remakes or does something similar to old albums. A lot of places will turn an older album into CD, might be able to find one that could do the reverse.

There probably isn't any meaning in life. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive. Like how you found that flower. Like how I found you.
