Price Points

On March 23, 2022March 22, 2022 By bigbadburchIn collecting6 Comments

I've done a few posts about money and prices of a few different things recently. I thought I'd do a few quick updates and also discuss the insane prices of a few records. But first, I'll provide two quick recaps of prices I covered awhile back. Megadeth cryptocurrency As I wrote in the original post, …

Is the Vinyl Bubble ready to burst?

On March 15, 2022March 15, 2022 By bigbadburchIn collecting8 Comments

The price of vinyl records and the scant supply remains a hot button issue in the music world. Prices of records, even fairly recent reissues, are causing eyes to pop out of heads. Even a run through stuff I bought at retail prices last year is making me consider offloading some stuff at inflated secondary …

Sticker Shock

On February 24, 2022February 25, 2022 By bigbadburchIn collecting5 Comments

UPDATE 2-25-22: Pre-orders for the Fear Inoculum 5 LP version are now live, shipping on April 8th. The price is a manageable $169. A bit pricey but far less than I was expecting.

On October 27, 2021 By bigbadburchIn collecting1 Comment

I've talked a bit before about how I, and we as a whole, consume music. I grew up in the old days where you had to have some form of a physical collection if you didn't want to be stuck with the radio. I've transitioned through a few different formats over the decades, from tapes …

Paying The Price – Collecting Records In 2021

On October 6, 2021October 5, 2021 By bigbadburchIn collecting3 Comments

One topic I want to cover more aspects of on here is music collecting. Not everyone does it these days but several of us still have collections of various physical formats. I've done one post so far on my own collection, as well as this post specifically about my Iron Maiden collection. And there are …

A Bit About Collecting

On August 25, 2021August 24, 2021 By bigbadburchIn collecting2 Comments

One aspect of music fandom/appreciation/worship/whatever is collecting. In our day and age, having a collection is not at all necessary. Collections of anything are cumbersome – they take up space, they cost money, they are at risk to perils like flood and fire, and they cost money. I came up in the old days, when …
