Some people are addicted to MP3s and iPods. Some are addicted to analog. You say to-mato, I say tah-mato. So, what’s the best place to score old school audio? eBay, fo’ sure. Audiophiles swear that vinyl sounds “warmer” and has superior sound quality. Aside from dedicated DJ’s, record digging is also all the rage amongst the young and young at heart. Fans troll flea markets and record shoppes looking for choice nuggets. However, if you are struggling to find it, search eBay, it is the ultimate record resource. I did a general search for record collection and came up with a ton of results. Pretty darn amazing. While you will certainly be able to find things that are rare and out of print, you can also pick up newer titles too. On one page alone I found vintage LPs from The Ramones, Duran Duran, and The Cure, nestled amongst new vinyl from REM, The Strokes, and The Decemberists. Plus, albums and their accompanying artwork make for cool conversation pieces. And if you don’t own a record player, you can pick one of those up on eBay too!
