Spinning it right now - had forgotten how great this album is

How much do Marantz receivers in the 2220 to 2245 range cost these days? I see a 2220B listed for $250 that I was thinking about checking out.

[Norah]

search them on ebay and then filter results to show sold listings only and you'll have a good idea

[Strat]

They tend to run between $200-700 depending on the model and the updating

Thanks. I forgot about doing that. Looks like the 2220B is going for a little under $200 without shipping, so $250 isn't a terrible price for Craigslist.

HOT TAKE: I'm kind of getting bored with going to record stores. I haven't had a trip to a store recently, in the past six months or so, that's been fun. Today my wife sent me to the store with an unlimited budget for fun, basically, and I came away with one LP and a 10''. I used to find hidden gems all the time (things that weren't on my want list but when I saw them I said, "Oh! I must have this") but that's happening less and less now. I have a little bit of regret for not supporting local shops, but it's so much easier and cheaper to just shop for what I want online.

Hey, I tried, don't throw rotten fruit or wave your dick at me! It's just disheartening when I see one record out of a hundred in a bin that's something I want, and it's twice as much as it would be at a dozen online retailers. I think we're going to see the vinyl "boom" die down as prices creep up.

Oh I totally get what you're saying. Although for me, finding one record out of hundreds is kind of the thrill for me. Sure, I can get anything I want online at a reasonable price, but that's the amazon effect, yeah? You want it, you got it. Finding it in the wild, that's a thrill for me that just can't be replicated. Even if I just find one record after going to several shops.

And yeah, there are a lot of used records I see that I can often find online for a lot cheaper. But the majority I've found around here seem to be pretty much inline with most of discogs. Sometimes cheaper, sometimes more expensive. Once you take shipping into consideration, a lot of prices are within a few bucks of each other. BUT, sometimes, there are definitely records out there that are kind of price gauged and MUCH MUCH cheaper online, and that's when I have no problem buying something through Discogs.

Since today was payday, I split the difference and ordered from an independent record store online. Thanks, Bull Moose!

Ooo I bought the repress of Sea Change a few weeks ago but haven't spun it yet; maybe tomorrow! Really looking forward to Mutations and Midnight Vultures, too.
