Sure, why not?

I don't know. It's the new year. Do I really need to spend the money?

Don't do it, Joe.

How much? It doesn't seem like a very hard-to-find LP (it's the only REM I own).

I have a text service. They text me everyday with an offering and if I reply "yes" they charge me and send it to me. It's awesome. LRP came up on there the other day and it was $20 plus $3 shipping. The subway has it a bit cheaper and I can listen to it tonight.

It's The Sound of Vinyl. https://thesoundofvinyl.us/sov-signup01.html

It's totally free to join. You set up an account and some likes and stuff and then they text you an offer once every day. You can reply 'like' or 'dislike' and it'll adjust your algorithm and preferences. You can reply 'own' and that adjusts things too. If you reply 'yes' then you buy it. They send it to you. Also, you can text them a request if there's something you're looking for and if they have it they'll text you back with a price.

It's awesome. It doesn't cost anything unless you want to purchase. And they offer limited edition and colored vinyl stuff from time to time, too. I really like the service.

Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand of the powers, Joe.

You can find it on eBay right now for about $10 with shipping (used, good condition). $17.99 is probably fair if it’s brand new. You might save $1 or 2 if you dig around online and then pay for the shipping.

Felt like spoiling myself a bit, so I ordered this (which has been out of print ~9 years now) off Discogs yesterday; I recently sold an LP on eBay so it didn't feel as expensive as it is:
