Where are you buying new vinyl?

One of life's necessary evils just came good for me - now every man and his dog is into selling vinyl again I found a wonderful use for my AMEX points this week I've been building up for a while - I treated myself to 500 bucks of barnes and noble gift cards and spent the lot on the good olde black stuff!

Based in NYC we still have a few independents left: my favs: Rebel Rebel, Other Music, & J&R Music World (who btw seem to pull out all kinds of oddities that have been collecting dust in their basement for years, a few weeks ago they had a bunch of sealed copies of the front/nixon interviews which actually turned out to be a fascinating listen!)

A recent visit to Boston burned a huge hole in my pocket (paid with my CC of course!) to Newbury Comics - they have a wonderful selection of pretty much everything out right now.

So where is everyone getting their stuff - bricks and mortar stores or online?
sub question - Has anyone bought vinyl from everyones favorite hi-fi store: best buy (!) - and did the experience affect you psychologically in some way?

I live in Melbourne Australia. I just can't believe the dearth of record shops everywhere else. I mainly buy from shops as I know of about 30 shops in Melbourne which sell records. We even have one shop, Licorice Pie, who do not sell CDs, just records. There are a few shops which import a wide range of new records and lots of second hand records in various shops. Occasionally I do order online, I have found Amazon UK to be good - often they are just listing for a third party, but I have ordered a few through Amazon UK.

Mind you there are some record shops in the USA where I could spend days and we have nothing as large.
