Like Mceljo says, don't overlook used. There are some real bargains out there, especially the more common titles. Used record stores or record shows, where you can inspect the record before buying, is the best way to be sure you're getting a good copy.
Returned to Albums/ Vinyl after 30 years
Just purchased a restored Thorens TD 160 here after a debacle (terrible) purchase (Sansui SR-222) on Ebay. Won't make that mistake again. The TD 160 seems nice (I owned one briefly in the 70's). I had a few albums that I purchased recently from Half Price Books. One that I got, I thought was for a good price (John Coltrane,"Standard Coltrane") a 180 gram for $13.95. I'm into jazz seriously.
How much are you paying for new albums these days? Looking around a little online, the prices are all over the place. Some prices are ridiculous.
What's a decent price for albums, for example re-issue Blue Notes or other jazz labels?
