If you have any questions you can always reach out to me or the person - denoted under each section. I have broken things into categories with no real - priority between the areas/items. Gunpla is welcome, and I can update this - with the models I own later, but they're hard to get since most sites - sell out of the ones I want and I have a backlog at the moment.

If you have used Discogs before I find it a bit tough to navigate. Just be aware - of what country the seller is from as that typically relates to ship - time.

I would be happy with any record if you think I would like it. Be wary of - quality of the media. Typically anything less than VG+ on discogs is - questionable. I don't care much about getting an original vs reissue.

If a release is 2020 or 2021 - you can do a bit of research and sometimes - find the actual merch store - but watch out for turnaround time with any - actual record label sites/store fronts. Typically, if a record is released - within the last year or so its price is $20-$30 before shipping - so if - it's new (even reissue) try finding a real storefront before going second - hand.

For Information Only - Not recommended

How to shop for records

To shop for records generally, if the band is active/modern I try and + link or share their official merch/bandcamp (generally you can websearch + for the bands website where they usually link their US LP store).

But otherwise using Discogs is the easiest way to shop for used records. + Overall, you simply look through their releases filtering for Vinyl and the + album and find a cheaper US release. Try and avoid good or + fair quality as it usually means “pretty rough but it works”. VG + is my usual minimum. And do check the sellers shipping options. Sometimes, + they make deals for 2+ records (like flatrate shipping) so sometimes + ordering from the same store can save some money!.

And PLEASE DO NOT EVER spend a lot on a record. Usually $30 is a brand + new repress cost for a 2xLP and my maximum. I would much rather have + something not on the above list - knowing it wasn’t a total rip-off.

Speaking of represses, represses are always fine. If there are + notoriously bad represses/rereleases I’d make it known. But so far only the + first two Iron Maiden albums (Self, Killers) suffer from originally bad + mastering - so it doesn’t really matter if its a repress/release + or not. Its mostly purists/nerds who care.

Else

If you are sick of getting me records for gifts - I do need something to + hold some overflow for my records like found here on etsy
