Actually in the red by 8 this go-around since I traded in 30 records/PIF'd 1, and 'only' accumulated 23. :D

*Created a new folder/category SOLD so I can track items I sold this year; I realize they are still counted as part of my total collection.
Reordered categories to match Discogs drop-down. Added many items to SELLING from the 7-box purchase. They will not all be added, as many are budget titles that I'll just price from $3-$5 for local sales.

So where are @avecigrec and @AnthonyI getting all these free additions? That's what I'd like to know! :D

I'll take less than one a day!
 
I'm at 455 in the collection but am pretty certain that there are a couple missing within my Discogs listing. Plus there is a small grip of duplicates from faulty purchases.

I just counted, and I've only added 25 records this year. I started collecting in 2014 and inhereted maybe 50-75 of the records in my collection. I also wasn't buying between 2019-2020 due to being in an apartment with no AC.

So on the whole 25 purchases aren't many by historical standards. But that's what happens when inflation and major label greed make the hobby borderline unaffordable. I've basically stuck to buying records under $25 aka mostly indies with a couple of exceptions.

I did, however, upgrade from a Rega Planar 2 to a Technics 1200.

Oh, and shipped out 1 PIF and haven't claimed any this year. I also broke an OG Courtney Barnett's Sometimes I Think by dropping it after a Guru clean, and can't replace it because it's OOP. Bummer because it's an all-time fav but I'm sure she will repress at some point.

All very reasonable and manageable. Kudos. You're right about that under-$25 mark being a hard one to find, but thankfully we're still seeing sales with 25-40% off current titles, which can be a good way to add to the collection in bursts. Congrats on your upgrade!
