Needles & Grooves

Is it flipping if you impulsively bought something you were worried about paying flipper prices for later and then decided you weren't that attatched to it?

@Phaneronic I don't think so. I think flipping solely has to do with you have no intention of listening to it and immediately put it up for sale. That is flipping to me.

Yeah, I figured but it's still a moral dilemma when you bought something like that knowing it'd be valuable later...

I've never sold a record.

I'm not going to tell you your business but it's not hard, and it's very satisfying to trade stuff you don't play for stuff you will. Although I would be in much awe of someone who managed to control their impulses such that their collection is svelt enough to have nothing they don't.

Same- I still have sold one. I've done lots of PIFs, though.

I'll sometimes buy 2 copies of albums that I want that I know will both sell out and go up in price. I keep one and sell the other in the hopes of getting a price that will effectively make my first copy free, or make a profit.
