Where to buy vinyl?

Discogs. What Jason said plus ultrasonic clean before first play

If you don’t do that buying new is a waste. I too hate LP noise

Try this: https://www.ebay.com/str/Audio-Archives-LLC-Cleveland-Vinyl

Here is his other site: http://www.clevelandvinyl.com/cleaning-process.html

The records are graded and steam cleaned. If you are buying 30, give him a call before ordering.

Good luck!

Excellent thank you all. Yes he is near by and I do have a record store within 10 miles that I’ll probably visit first and check it out. 
‘maybe buy 1 online one on discogs for the experience then if the store is good take him afterwards and hook him up. I’ll check out the other links as well, equal opportunity patronage !

thanks!

craigslist sometimes has bulk sales. E.g. there was a guy in LA, a few weeks ago selling 1000s for $5 a piece, incredible selection. There are a lot of collections up for sale, some only sell to one buyer, some willing to sell one by one.

I go to a record store once a week and buy from ebay. I always have a plan, look for a certain artist and go for the lowest price. Worst case scenario I buy it again, I'd spend 5-10 dollars twice rather than 35. 

For some albums, new may be best, you would need to know about the specific copy, who/when/where, I had a post about that with great insight provided in the comments. 

I have three new LPs in the original wrap, I have not opened them. I just look at them from time to time and feel like I need the right moment to remove the nylon. For me vinyl is all about the time travel and I want that original sleeve with the 70s ads on it.

and I don't hate the hiss and pop. I think they added it to the track on purpose so that we know that song is about to begin :)
