bdp24, I live about 0.6 mile from Music Millenium and I've concluded that the records there are "overpriced". However, the store does need to pay overhead and it's bordering Laurelhurst, an expensive area so that likely accounts for the costs (not to mention the trendy aspect of vinyl sales). As for Crossroads, it has a pretty good selection and fairly reasonable prices, too.
Re: the OP, I won't buy a vinyl album unless it was recorded in analog form originally. A conceit, perhaps. My collection though (culled repeatedly to only a few hundred albums) dates from the 1960s. I continue to buy, but (given the costs involved for reasonable condition original vinyl), only with discretion
