No Buy Vinyl Support Thread

Only 1 purchase in January, $70 for 1 month of VMP. When you do a single month sub with a VMP, you really see how much of a kick in the n#ts it really is. Hoping to trade some stuff in during February so that month may be a no cost for me.

I bought a record but it’s a valentines gift so it doesn’t count, right?

Nope your good. Hmmm maybe that is the workaround.

If it is a gift that you don't like, then it doesn't count.

Feb day 1 - nil buys !!!

It’s a start

 

[Sebastian]

No purchases for January. Came close though.

 

[Gavaxeman]

So Feb no buy just bit the dust thanks to the long awaited Manic St Preachers reissued lifeblood

£35 red vinyl

And as I’m off the wagon I brought some sale stuff at Assai as they sent me a £10 voucher

£30 for 4 albums in the sale

So £65 for feb - no more now !

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Damn you Beth Gibbons. At least Amazon doesn't charge until shipping in May but I think Q2 might be a spendy quarter, with RSD

 

[Gavaxeman]

And The Cure can Feck right off releasing Paris finally

 

[Gavaxeman]

And forgot that I asked my local to get me the Franz Ferdinand debut reissue … so that msg cost another £34

£99 problems in feb so far

 

[Gavaxeman]

And The Cure can Feck right off releasing Paris finally

So a bonus £20 amazon voucher came my way - so the cure have been forgiven- but £24 added to the no buy feb total

£123 and that will be that this month

March - I must do better !!

 

[Gavaxeman]

Ooo sneaky

Nipped out lunchtime for a walk round the block at work …

… new record shop opened (actually an old one that’s moved to new premises ) which now stocks used as well as new

So £10 poorer (diesel park wests difficult to find 2nd album on vinyl)

So £133 now in feb

 

[Gavaxeman]

Unbelievable but true - the other half made me buy two £4 albums as she spotted this Heart album she wanted in an a market - which was £8 so I could match it - so another Clannad and Vangelis album in the pile

£141 now ….

I've still just made the one purchase this year, Joni Mitchell's Clouds, which completed my early to mid-era collection of hers. I even skipped a record show this morning that I almost always attend at my old high school. Yep, I'm committed to not add to my collection until the painting, flooring and new shelving is complete in the family room.

I am not worthy

I am not worthy

Me neither tbh.

 

[Sebastian]

Almost through February with no purchases and my listen to bin is almost empty.

Stay strong you non buyers! You can do it here in the No Buy Vinyl Support thread!

I behaved myself at the record show on Sunday. Sold 35 pieces, only bought one. Traded one with a friend.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Traded in a dozen records in Toronto yesterday. Picked up 4, spent 35. So far for the year I am at $105.

Moving in the next few months, so my current plan is to not only stop buying so much vinyl but to reduce my collection from ~750 to 400 or so. Besides the cost, I find myself sometimes not playing vinyl because it's too hard too pick something out.
