Paying too much for vinyl

[Mikee Merge n C]

Ok. I'm not trying to cause beef but blatantly in other parts of the UK vinyl prices are cheaper so why should we have to put up with the two main independant stores having a price war.

I'm hearing rumours that one stockist goes into the other and buys all their remaining promos and later sells them on for a higher price. Is this fair?

Surely we should resort to buying online or elsewhere until they have no choice but to bring 12" singles down to a reasonable price. Such as £5 or less. I mean promos are not actually supposed to be resold anyhow!

What do you reckon dudes??? :unsure:

Prices are pretty step, in Oxford...but I think it's convenience really! :) I aint got a card to spend on the net, plus i'm impatient & can't wait 6 years for my vinyl to arrive...although I might if I had a card, coz I could get double the amount of tunes I get, for the same price I spend in Oxford!...

Expensive bizzznizz!!!! :) Worth it though methinks! :D B)

Yeah, I unjdersatnd that! ...I've got a few debts myself, though they should hopefully ALL be sorted out soon! :)

Trust me I desperately need a card so I can start ordering tunes, I quite often see tunes on the web, that I havn't seen in Oxford or anwhere else...So it seems it's a definate must have! :)

trust me i did at the time, i was screwin lol. i waited over a week. Its not red-eye its ANC in banbury, who couldnt find their dick with both hands even if it had a big phuck off flashing light on it :D Put it down as bad luck, but same thinghappened again like three times. They're very nice ppl but have no plans to change their courier for round here...deffo not red eyes doing cos it left them bang on time!!! Seems that its the area, see other ppl post about it ondnba.

Chemical not phuckt up or Mirage. Thou i prefer the shop on red eye!

...think this explains vypers comments on buyingonline, cos he's heard me give ANC enough shit on the fone, n bitch about it lol. Man knows it can be hassle!

I think thats too much!

My boys in Exeter charge like £3-5 for new singles in the Drum 'n' Bass field.

If you're ever in Devon check out NRG Records, Fore Street, Exeter.
Finest beats, accessories and club info! PLUG PLUG PLUG... :D

[ceedee]

I have to say that I've found some gems in modern music from time to time. Esp on True Playaz

[Sneaky]
