"Does anyone still buy them? I have links to a Scottish group that sells loads at cheap prices if anyone is interested?
I do and CDs for that matter. Postage is becoming a killer though "
Yeah it can be steep - it’s a flat £5 fee generally, unless it’s a really heavy item. Bulk buys make things much more economical. |

It’s Polestar Records on Facebook - it’s a group, rather than a page  |

We do. Depending on what you are looking for you can often pick up bargains in charity shops. Especially ones like Oxfam who have dedicated book and music shops. A lot of old classics that people are getting rid of from old relatives houses etc. |

Sadly a lot of charity shops are losing the plot with vinyl pricing nowadays. I love a bargain while helping a good cause but so often now they are overcharging for vinyl in poor condition. The Oxfam specialist shop in Edinburgh's Stockbridge is a joke. The staff wouldn't last five minutes if they were doing it for a living
Lots of CD bargains to be had right now though. Everyone is ditching them. I simply don't like digital platforms and I like having something in my hand (ooh er!) |

Definitely used to be the case, but so many shops now don’t know the actual value of a record or how to grade it - I haven’t seen any “bargains” in charity shops for months. Unfortunately they tend to think big name band therefore worth a bit - that’s rarely the case in reality! |

If you have a look back through the group posts, there are a load of CDs on there as well as records from a collection he bought. |

"Love a bit of vinyl. Hard to find bargains now. Still find some at the car boots.
I am enjoying buying new artists on vinyl too. 
Mr Dodger"

I did one of my charity shop routes this afternoon. Vinyl was pretty much dross except an original Mono copy of The Everlys Brothers - Beat & Soul in really nice condition which I was happy to pay £5 for.
I also got 15 CDs all at £2 or less. Highlights were Charlie Mingus - Folk Forms in a 3 for 50p
selection and surprisingly a King Sunny Ade album on Masterdisc Nigeria. You don't see many of them kicking about. Some nice book bargains too made for a decent afternoon's loot |

Worth checking out Auctions if there's one nearby. I've found some bargains there or if buying new Richer Sounds are always helpful and decent prices |

"Im always on the hunt for techno and electronic records if anyone has any tips! Oxfam music on byres road is always so expensive "
There’s certainly some of that in the group, but not my thing so I don’t have a lot of knowledge of it! |
