goN' LPs at $10, I can buy for $0.18


I just wonder who would buy the piles of LPs listed in the classified that are common stuff. I can buy (and HAVE) many of these $10 wonders. I paid around $0.23 or $0.18 each for these LPs.
I mean stuff like Hall & Oats, Cars...(I got them all at $0.18 each)
I have like 2,000 LPs I paid under a quarter each for, as mint as can be! I COULD start listing them, trying to make a killing (as some seem to be trying to do), but I would be listing them at $1.00 and STILL feel I was robbing the blind.
I can understand the rarer MFSL etc, but the classifieds ads should have a charge for being placed, even $0.50, to cut the flood of junk filling the LP classified!!!

I don't really want to start fussing with you over this because I know your opinion won't change. My question is how many times are you going to start a thread saying the same old stuff? We all know the prices for vinyl here have put a burr under your saddle and you don't like the free ads, but it seems to me, it's like television. If you don't like it, don't look.

I've bought a number of albums here and each one has been nearly perfect, professionally cleaned and placed in poyletheylene inner sleeves and plastic outer sleeves. I double dog dare you to do the same and sell them for a buck. Try walking in their shoes for a change and posts your results. Now, that would be a new thread!
Jes45,

Your priorities seem pretty darn straight to me. I mow my grass for about 40ยข and it takes me about an hour. When I last hired it done while on vacation I paid $40 a whack. I don't mind paying an enterprising soul for their efforts. Man, do I love this country. Money allows one the freedom to spend as you choose. It doesn't bother me one whit to pay big bucks for some new vinyl and I fail to see that $10 for a used record that I've been wanting, in good condition, is too much. The sellers are offering a service here and I appreciate it.

There have been some reasonable thoughts from other folks in this thread that don't see things the way I do. Maybe what we would all like is for the albums that interest only us to be for sale but that's not going to happen in this life. It would be a lot of work for AudiogoN to write code to search software by genre for a free listing but that would be the biggest help that I can see.
