My wife started selling a lot of clothes on Vinted recently. And bought a few really nice pieces with the money. Often second hand from Vinted. It feels like a much more sustainable way to exist in our consumer society. I’ve started to view my records in the same way (as I know many on here already do). It has felt good to sell a few and buy some new bits with the PayPal balance.

Vinted can be good but it has some of the biggest tightwads on the planet on it as well.

Yeah that seems to be the way to do it! Get rid of the stuff that no longer brings joy and be real intentional with what you bring in. One of my good friends who recently became a father for the first time, text me last week asking if I had any old clothes I didn’t wear anymore that he could have and as I was sorting through everything I realised I have so much good stuff that is getting no use whatsoever just sat in bags in the cupboard. I gave him a load of stuff then put all the rest in the charity bin. There’s definitely so many people out there who could make good use of it rather than me holding on to it for a day that might never come.

By far the most expensive album I have bought when you include shipping

Pretty stunned this hasn’t had an official release on vinyl until now.
My daughter really wants it and I’m quite a fan. I have talked her out of buying bootlegs so many times that I couldn’t pass it by.

Finally got some reserves sent. Always a nice Friday. All came out in 2024 (though 3 reissues!)
Mammo-Slow the Pace Goes Farther Is the white (brown) label.
I was today old when I learnt Bobby Beige (Balearic dj royalty) was part of Opik!
Think I paid £37. I was just happy to see it back in stock and thought it would sell out again.
Still dig this one from the GU mix…
He’s going to make some serious dough from the 50 something ex Renaissance and Shelley’s fanboys

Holy shit, some of the prices he got for some really really bad records is mind blowing.

I’m not precious about the condition of the covers of used records- if they have the record company promo stamp or DJ doodles- BPM, track markers, stickers, etc - it’s an added bonus. Reminds me of the journey it took from wherever- a roller disco in Nebraska, a small bar in Saskatchewan, a radio station- to my house in Japan. DJ SMITTY B - thank you for your service.
Amazing video, I was hypnotized/haunted by it when I was a kid. One of the first examples I remember of the rock video as an art form rather than a band miming under the bright lights in a studio.
A few others from last week’s haul:
(yeah, they should go in Hauls Found Today I suppose)
