90s Vinyl Prices

I was, no record shops though, both local shops Pop In and Cameron's had stopped stocking vinyl, I would have bought older records from the record fairs and new titles from Diverse Vinyl.
Quite a few of the titles mentioned in this thread I have a copy of, though someone mentioned the Cranberries, just a week before Delores passed, Tracy asked me to get some Cranberries on vinyl, both of us own copies of the earlier CDs. I bought a couple of albums, both new & sealed, a week later I could have sold them for many times what I paid, same thing happened with Bowie, all his records shot up in price after his passing
I wasn't talking literally. I was buying as well but not many of us were.
 
I was buying vinyl until it was almost impossible to buy new releases. I think it was round about 2000 I bought my first CD player.
Pretty much the same as me, I do have some vinyl from the early naughties but moved to CD pretty much exclusively. I only buy the odd bit of 2nd hand vinyl
 
I don't think I bought a new LP between 1989 - 1999 due to the record shops in Dundee not stocking vinyl or just closing down. Much bargains were had with 2nd hand shops buying up and selling on peoples album collections and then the vinyl revival put a stop to all that.

I only bought a CD player grudgingly as I never found the sound very satisfactory. It's only since the Saturn-R/DAC that I would say I'm totally happy with the sound of CD. Vinyl is a secondary source these days, CD is just so convenient, but I never really stopped buying records. Times when I didn't buy much but it was always there.

I've always got on with naim CD players, CDX/XPS2 is my current one, unlikely to change any time soon.

I had a CDX/XPS, very impressive player, but musically the Saturn-R/DAC is better in every way. Plus you've got a stack of digital inputs! I like Naim CD players too but Rega are on a roll.
 
I have most of the Doves 10" singles and EPs, including two of the the originals on Casino before they went to Heavenly, Doves Cedar EP 10" and Here It Comes 10" both on Casino, all bought at the time and probably unplayed.

No albums though for some reason.
 
Last time I looked my copies of Tom Waits' The Black Rider, Bone Machine, and Night On Earth were going for decent money.
 
I have some originals by Elliot Smith, not Roman Candle unfortunately but XO & Either/Or seem to fetch good money.
