As a vintage record collector, I’m not the kind of person you would expect to buy music online. Nonetheless, I have found that online record stores are actually the best way for me to find a lot of the rare pieces I look for. Don’t get me wrong – buying used vinyl still involves a lot of digging through countless boxes of old LPs. There’s a downtown record store that I go to several times a month with thousands of uncatalogued records that you just have to dig through to find. It is always an adventure, and I don’t know if I will come home with a precious find or nothing at all. Even so, lately I seem to be having better luck with online music stores. I have been buying music equipment that I use online for a long time.
