    Funny thing..I hate garage sales. My wife more or less made me go. I would set in the car while she dug through all the crap. She walks up and says theres a guitar for 20 dollars. The rest is history.

      In 1999 I bought 2 technic 1200 turntables and rane mixer. I taught myself how to mix and scratch hip hop records for houseparties on the UW and UWM campuses. My vinyl collection started slowly but since then it has grew to over 1000 records of many genres. My collection was getting obnoxiously huge. Records are heavy and my vinyl weighs a ton. 2 years ago I quit buying vinyl cold turkey.

        Vinyl is making a huge comeback. Output is increasing. You could definitelys sell some and make some good cash.

            There is a relatively new record store in phoenix that only sells vinyl. Doing well. Not claiming he is becoming a millionaire, but plenty of people are buying vinyl...richer, warmer sound, etc.

            Vinyl production is way up. Read a short article in RS about that as well.

            And, turntable/record players are selling better as well.

              just today i drove 45 minutes to go into town to look for the game fight night round 3, because for some reason i got it into my mind last night that i needed it. so i got the day off and went looking for it. spent 2 hours trying to find it, finally did. spent 30 bucks on it. and drove 45 minutes home. about 20 bucks worth of gas spent

              played it for 2 hours. pulled it out of the machine and fired it at the wall. its now in 20 jagged little pieces

              50 bucks down the drain for 2 hours of use

              i mine as well have just gotten a hooker

              i also always feel the need to buy guitars. whats the deal with that?

                  Not really. I spend 95% of my spending money at bars and dining establishments. I'm addicted to socializing.

                        Amazon.com used books is amazing. I have probably one hundred books I bought for a dollar or 1.50

                              ya, I've been getting a lot of used books on Amazon. Even with shipping its a great bargain. Maybe I've been lucky, but the books show-up like new.

                              I like used book stores, but they just can't compete with online. Used bookstores are chock-full of junk you have to sort through.

                                Let's not go there. There is no point in going down that road.
