As a retailer, the profit margin is abysmal. You get the honor of paying $27.99 for something that has an MSRP of $34.99. Yeah, no thanks. You aren't guaranteed to sell what you order. You aren't even guaranteed to GET what you order and if you fail to sell some items, they basically become worthless online so you take a loss on the product. We did it once and we both hated the entire experience. You get phone call after phone call from people who have never been to your store and never will unless it is Record Store Day calling for special treatment. "Put this on hold for me." "No. Against the rules." All day long. It's hell. As a collector I just hate it because it's commercial as f*ck and I'm looking for original pressings of stuff. I don't need gimmicky colored reissues of David Bowie records. |

2020 has been a tough mother****ing year. You’ve already posted some stuff about this in the threads but how has covid affected your work life?
Also, have the murder of George Floyd and the huge reaction that was sparked and the Black Lives Matter movement had any impact on your professional life?

I don't know if average person has the desire to spend $3,000,000+ for comic, let alone spend that kind of money on vinyl. I guess you are looking for an Antique Road Show moment where you find it out of the blue & require it somehow without the seller knowing what it is. I doubt if you have the desire to spend $3,000,000+ for a first pressing of Coltrane's Blue Train.

Oh you're welcome, and guess what? I'm listening to Coltrane's Blue Train right now online.
