Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing?

I'm dabbling in it now. Not real sure why. Nostalgia maybe? 

One reason that compels me a little toward vinyl is that the quality of CDs by newer artists can be poor while the vinyl seems to have better production quality.

For the first time in probably 35 years I recently bought a couple of used albums. One was $20 and the other was $30. Both were listed as VG+....for what that's worth. Anyway, both have audible clicks and pops. Very mild and not constant. I don't know enough about vinyl to know if this is acceptable or not. When all we had was vinyl some of that was to be expected at the level of equipment I had available so I never thought anything of it. (Would cleaning help that? I don't know.) My point in all this is that if that is not acceptable I would be reticent to buy more used vinyl at those prices as it seems like a gamble.

As a side note, my wife picked up two LPs out of the discount 80's bin for $10 each. They have fewer clicks and pops but they are newer than the ones I bought (early 70s) and look like they were never played.

bdp24, that's part of the reason this new audiophile is buying CDs like crazy. I'm getting good recordings of good titles for an average of about $5 on eBay including shipping. That's half what you'd pay for MP3 stuff on iTunes. I realize they are cheap because not many people want them anymore.

It takes more financial commitment to get into vinyl. New vinyl is selling between $20 and $35 as long as it isn't a special release or special pressing.

What are return policies like in stores that sell used vinyl? I'm sure it varies but it seems like a liberal return policy would make for a more robust used market.

All my old albums spent years stacked on record changers. Probably nothing worse for condition or playback. I remember having so many stacked on there that when the last album fell it would slip on top of the other ones and effectively slow the rpms.
