Am I considered to be a materialistic person?

Agreed! This hobby keeps me sane in this crazy world. I can take a trip back in time by just pulling a record from my shelf and spinning it. I guess I could be doing worse things LOL!

Frank, same here....I could never ever listen to all I have. It would take me maybe 100 years, and yet i too keep collecting new music every chance I get LOL.

Simao, I shall bask in it LOL! Yes, at times it gets a bit overwhelming, but I would not change a thing.....:)

I have this Thrift type store in town that I find my self visiting maybe once a week or so. They do a lot of clean outs of estates etc.....and there is always a new to me record there waiting to be discovered, all for just a buck apiece! Just today I scored a VG++ Bobbie Gentry "Ode to Billie Joe" LP! It sounds fantastic.

Thank you all for the overwhelming responses!! I think I feel better now about my obsession with my equipment and music! I kinda look upon it all as my mistress....lol. ugh If the wife only knew what I really spent on this stuff over the years...aye yi yi....oops I gotta go, Nancy Sinatra is in the room 😁

I do tell her, but I fib a bit on what was paid out...I have toned it down of late, as I am pretty happy with what I got. I also keep telling her, honey I swear that is the last resord I’m buying....I’m such a liar lol.

Ebay is a dangerous thing....I keep finding hard to find records I need......I mean want lol...

Hahahaha...well I guess I need them🤔....there is no help for me I'm afraid. I was just in a record store in Boston and the guy had a bin dedicated to just rca living stereo records...I could not just buy one...no....I had to buy like 10! 🙄🙄🙄
