Really sad I missed that Crateism sale said no one ever. I am getting to the point that I have stopped buying records just because it is a good deal so there is that.
I've been trying to train myself to pass up good deals (for records I otherwise wouldn't look at) as well. Still searching for the deals, then trying to resist their temptations.
I went through my entire collection and sold off a bunch recently. Some of the ones I sold without thinking twice were various blind bundles from labels at the beginning of the pandemic.
It's the same reason I could never bring myself to subscribe to VMP for very long, I want what I want. And I tend to know what that is.
