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 Interesting Fountain Pen ink shades: [Jetpens Store](https://www.jetpens.com/Fountain-Pen-Inks/ct/3250)
