I was one of the ' suckers' who started to sell vinyl records when I replaced them with CDs .
Having said that , I had way too much at the time , and in terms of moving into smaller accommodation to live I did the right thing ' 'downsizing ' the record collection . I was also getting pretty miffed at having to adjust the belt on my old turntable to play 7" singles . I'm glad they're gone . I do have a selection of 12" s though, which I play on my current turntable which doesn't need the platter removed to play them .
I offloaded a hell of a lot of albums and 12" on fleabay over the last 2 years. However, I have made a decision to only have "the best "albums and 12" of my favourite artists and not everything on record as I have them on cd anyway. Much tidier inn my flat.I have roughly a handful that I want , but even they may get pressed again . ( Rush Counterparts for example) . I did purchase vinyl remasters of a couple of albums I sold in the past , so not all sad . That wasn't on RSD .
I notice that certain record stores do invite people to contact them on the following Monday after RSD to see if there's anything left.
It's a bit like trying to obtain a ticket for a gig . Can't be doing with that .
Plus some of those RSD albums are still available .
I went to our local record store pre covid ๐ทand that was good . Not too much of a queue , and a few ciders afterwards ๐
If my local friend suggests it again , then I'd probably do it but I'm not bothered either way
