Best place to tell what/when reissues are released

Hi all-
I listen mostly to vinyl.Unfortunatley it can be expensive, particularly rare lps. I have purchased a few rare/expensive lps only to realize a few weeks later they are to be reissued for a fraction of the cost I paid for them. Yes, there is a market for original pressings, but reissues can be far less expensive, and occationally sound better. My question is this: where is the best place to determine what future re-releases will be coming down the pipe? For example, Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie sells for over $300 on ebay. But if its reissued, it will go for about $35. Thanks

This is not specifically the answer that you are looking for, but it still may help. I recently moved to Arizona, and in the Phoenix region, there are a large number of Goodwilltores (seven or 8 within reasonable distance of my house) where used records are always available for 2-3 dollars. Every other Saturday, everything is 50% off. I have bought great records, including what some would consider desireable (original copy of Harry Belafonte at Carnegie Hall) in great shape, as well as a lot of other great titles. You should really check it out if there are Goodwill stores near to you.
It is also a great source for used CDs. I have bought many in great condition...some never even unwrapped! Same prices.
