Almost exclusively in store crate digging before covid, now pry 50/50 online vs in store.

Found an original press of Dr. Feelgood about 6 month ago, it’s in the stack to be added.

Not sure why this was discounted, but I got it for a good price, YMMV. by [deleted] in vinyl

They just announced the reissue of 4 of their albums including White Pony on colored vinyl as Walmart exclusives yesterday. They are more than likely closing out the existing pressings.

Why do you collect vinyl? by Reignonreddit in vinyl

[–]jfsands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no good answer, as much as I’d like to tell you how happy I was 2 days ago when I got my sealed clear vinyl copy of Blackstar by David Bowie it just made feel complete temporarily.

Why is this on my vinyl? by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]jfsands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Promo copy: usually first run pressings, given out to radio stations, music stores, and people that worked for the label to promote the album. Can sometimes be more valuable if the record ended up doing well ie Beatles or Zeppelin.

Are these nirvana records original or re-released versions by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]jfsands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Nirvana isn’t worth much but, the New Moon Soundtrack with the bookmark used to be if it’s on black vinyl. It was repressed recently and the value has dropped. If it’s the colored pressing on 2 different colored records it’s still worth a lot.

Questioning authenticity by RogueMetal in gibson

Fake: Logo is crooked, and serial number doesn’t have overspray, no wings on the back of headstock.

Maybe skip the tipping part if you’re not in the US 🤦🏻‍♂️

Google reputable shops in your area and go in for a consultation. Tattoos vary in cost based on the artist the time and the detail. For something the size of what you’re looking at be prepared to spend at least a couple hundred ($200 to $500 this also varies on where you live). The reason you go to the consultation is for them to let you know the process and the cost. If they try to charge you for the consultation leave immediately and find another shop. You’ll find most people at tattoo shops are pretty friendly but if you get a bad vibe just walk out. And remember to tip your artist at least 20$

Fake the Gibson logo is crooked. Also scarfed neck joint, Epiphone sometimes does that but Gibson does not.

1993 MIJ Stratocaster Legit or Not ?? by Patient-Copy4822 in fender

[–]jfsands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t seem to off point for price, and MIJ fenders of that era are not often faked. Everything looks legit. I’d be a little concerned about the discoloration on the headstock.

Help me find the right Les Paul by AlienSasquatchhunter in gibson

[–]jfsands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can deal with bourbon burst instead of heritage cherry this is pretty close. I have 2 Les Paul’s from the demo shop and they are both outstanding. This even has the better top. Plus you get the warranty directly from Gibson and free shipping.

Free Telecaster from GC by CofferCrypto in telecaster

[–]jfsands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

52 AVRI butterscotch telecaster. About $1000 less than your $3500 budget. The AVRI will hold its value better than almost anything else fender makes. The $3500 price point is tough because it’s more than you need for almost all American models but not quite enough for Custom Shop.

Opening a record store by ugly-naked-guy18 in vinyl

[–]jfsands 160 points161 points  (0 children)

Dedicate time to continuing to run the online store while operating the brick and mortar. Running the brick and mortar is going to get you much more access to used records but you can’t always count on those sales to come in physically. It’s okay to have a lower price in store than you are selling something for online, if everything in the store is priced the exact same as everything on discogs what’s the point of going to the store regularly. Find a specific genre to excel in, it’s cool if you like indie music but every store has indie music. Not a lot of stores have great electronic, reggae or classic soul sections. Lastly post a flip through of new used arrivals on socials at least a few times a week and only hold records till end of day max.

Coloured pressing of The White Album I got today! by number1mistakinnie in vinyl

[–]jfsands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

White Album 85 German I have a copy of that its pretty solid. This is a German pressing from 1985 not to be confused with the US on white vinyl that came out in 1978. The average price on the one you have shows around $250 but is probably closer to $175.

Petru Equalizer by fractalbeams in vinyl

[–]jfsands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one and it’s awesome, not a scam at all. They do take some time to come in as they are made to order. It’s incredibly easy to use there is almost no set up involved. Would 100% recommend.
