Recently Discogs offered an article about how “like-new” pre-owned vinyl can offer record collectors a viable option for collecting their favorite titles while new vinyl prices continue to soar.
From Discogs: Pre-loved vinyl offers the best prices. About 78% of records sold on Discogs are used, and collectors can save up to 47% compared to new vinyl prices. Shopping for ”like new”’ records where the record and sleeve are in top condition can also save people an average of 23%, making it easier to collect while staying within budget.
“With second-hand, buy quality at the top end,” said Barton. “You will have a great collection of premium records, which hopefully you will love, cherish, and, most importantly, play.”
