To be fair, even if you do snap it up first hand, vinyl can still be pretty pricey...I plopped down $120 AUD for the Tekken Tag Tournament Soundtrack on Vinyl just recently.
I honestly try to limit my vinyl spending these days. The occasional gaming soundtrack and maybe a new release album here and there for a band I might happen to like but yeah, even at it's cheapest I'm paying somewhere around $49 to $59 AUD for the most basic of new albums in store.
In some ways it is a bit of a joke...especially when my parents tell me how much they were paying for vinyl in their day. So I do mix it up and still tend to buy more CDs than Vinyl really...Vinyl I tend to save for special occasions or just stuff that I really like.
Whenever I go out to pawn shops or charity shops now I tend to look around for vinyl...2nd hand book stores and op shops are fantastic for finding vinyl just because they generally have no idea how much vinyl can go for and are usually selling cheap to get rid of stuff.
The other week I grabbed The Simpsons - "Do the Bartman" 7 inch single, A Sisters of Mercy album, November Rain 7 inch single and a 12th man album (Australian comedian) for like $20 total from a local op shop.
That's become my new hobby of sorts...just trawling local shops and seeing if I can find anything here and there on the cheap.
But yeah, this is just me prattling on. It's just funny how expensive it can be at times. My parents look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I spent $120 on a vinyl.
