A few times.

I love the people that ask me if we still have a certain $1 record they saw in the bins over a month ago and if I can go check to see if we still have it.

We have about 5,000 $1 LP's out at a given time. Whole room.

They want me to search for an hour for a $1 record that may or may not be there. They get mad when I say no.

Just a tip. Look at your computer/phone. Tell them to hold on while you check the extensive database. Tell them it might be a while. Make them wait, look around, maybe they'll buy something else. Then after about two or three minutes shake your head, click your tongue and say sorry it's been sold. If you want, and know the day they were in, tell them it sold like an hour after they left.

You could also go all Jack Black from High Fidelity on them.

I simply love vinyl, I grew up on it's sound and that's good enough for me.

With a 10k plus vinyl collection and CD’s.I will chime in . First off for me it is a fun hobby but it has its down side . Sound is not always great , prices of new and used are getting higher and higher. Crazy prices of High End audio . Sorry I don't have 100k for a turn table and 15 k for a MC cartridge .The vinyl snob AAA is the way. The VC critic on you tube(really).•Fear of Missing Out on an 100 buck reissue •The fight on which is better Analog or Digital. Other forums thats all they do is fight.35 k comments on a MOFI post. Which by the way some older recordings need a digital polish. An older stereo guy told me listen with your ears and not with opinions of others. I do enjoy a dead quite pressing but not easily obtained.
With that being said vinyl takes me back to a time where things were easier and you had to wait for an lp to be released.
CD’s and digital audio are just as enjoyable and easier to transport.
This is just the way I see it.
