My easy collecting days will end eventually, as all the stashes get dumped. The folks whose TT's died ten years ago, are finally throwing out those LPs in my part of the country. Other areas went sooner... Soon, all the LPs will be tossed out. Then all that will be left are rummage sales of the deceased audiophiles.
Just as other superceeded technologies got discarded, ie typewriters... (for awhile you could find IBM Selectrics in perfect working order at thrifts for $10) Now they are gone. Turntables are a rarity also. For awhile they also were very common at the thrifts.
LPs will dry up where I live too, soon enough.
I'm getting all I can, while they last! My wild guess is that I will have another two years of good hunting here, then the great LP dumping will be a part of folklore here too.
