The wifes just given me £100 to spend on vinyl for Christmas. Dont know wether to buy 4 or 5 expensive tunes or a boatload of £2-3 . I havnt bought any records for a while now and would like a load more, but Its not often i would treat meself to a £25-30 record.
What would you do?

Probably best to buy a few expensive tunes. Assuming you are going to be buying them online, you would spend alot in postage with the cheaper ones, unless of course you can find a seller with a decent number you fancy.
Chuck it towards a record collection from one of the local inkies. Last collection I bought was £50, contained about 800 records which when cleaned and sorted will be worth circa £3k. For some reason collections are coming up now very cheap, just have to be patient for the right one to come along.
If the above is not for you then do as Presuming Ed suggests, treat youself to a couple of realy good records as the cheap records come easily where some of the more expensive records take time to save for.
Best of luck with it either way.

Yeah chip away at your wants list mate
Now overdo it by getting lots of other tunes from the same seller that arent on your wants lists cos I do that and you end up spending loads

Could probably buy 2000 Industrial Strength Gabba Tunes with that
Nought wrong with that:S
Seriously bargains are out there. Seems early pre 88 is becoming very expensive, 90-92 hardcore/techno is expensive (mostly what the collect I bought is), 93 hardcore is stupidly expensive. Most of everything else is cheap with 94 onwards generally only fit for landfill fairly or unfairly.

Thanks for the advice everyone just been on Discogs and found a seller with a few cheap tunes that I was after so im going to spend about thirty quid on them to cut me wantlist down a bit, then decide on a couple of the more expensive tunes this weekend.
As for buying a collection Im to impatient and no good at keeping money to wait until a good collection came a long,also im a bit of a hoarder with vinyl and probably wouldnt sell any of them even though i probably wouldnt play a load of them.:$

I'd go for the expensive ones myself…if you don't usually. You can always spend a 5er on one whenever.
Happy foraging.
