Vinyl Collective is a forum for music and vinyl enthusiasts.. What is the best way to buy vinyl?This might be obvious, but the best place to check first is your local record store. Vinyl is a physical medium where music has been pressed into literal plastic, so the best way to ensure you're getting a quality record that's clean and without damage is to shop in person.
Is Discogs a reliable source to buy vinyls?They are on-point most of the time, but there was one seller who graded the record as VG+ when it was warped, scratched and barely playable. If you find a seller with good feedback you should be ok. I would clarify condition first, many sellers over grade. I rarely order on discogs.
