Great vid Morgan. Remember, you didn’t make any mistakes, you just evolved over the last 4 years.
I started 9 1/2 years ago and only in the last 6 months did I go about cataloging my 612 LPs on Discogs. Kind of a pain to do but I learned so much in the process. I originally bought milk style crates and found out many are not big or tall enough.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom and inspiring others with your vids.
Best!
I like what you said, my mistakes were more about learning and evolving. We can all learn from each other! Adding your collection to Discogs sounds like it was a big task, but I'm sure it was worth it in the end.
Great Video and excellent tips! 2 things I would add being a bit further down the road in my collecting journey. 1) When your collection inevitably outgrows your current shelf you can buy something from the Kallax series of shelves from IKEA / used, they fit vinyl records perfectly and come in many designs. 2) Selling records is a bit more effort than it might seem at first. The shipping , dealing with buyers etc. Also you might not be able to recoup the actual perceived value of a given record. I have bought many used records thinking "oh this is actually worth more" but when it comes time to sell, I don't want to let go of it and the overall effort is too much. Anyway Keep up the good work!!
Thank you! I've seen the IKEA shelves they're really nice. If I ever move into a bigger space I'm going to use those shelves for my records. I have my own business and online shop, so I deal with selling/shipping all the time. It's similar to selling records, and I've had no issues with the ones I've sold. But it is a lot of work and annoying buyers do exist. I'm not really looking to make a profit from the records I sell; I just want to make my money back. I'll keep all of your advice in mind, it's very helpful!
Thanks Morgan.
vinyl is the future
I think it’s here to stay among the younger generations!
Great hints and tips Morgan. Yea space and definitely money are big factors in collecting.... I would hate to add up how much I've spent on buying music
Lol. 😂
Same I don’t wanna know how much I’ve spent lol
Great video Morgan!!!
Thank you!
Not to be argumentative with you, Ms. Brandon, but *Discogs* pretty well has every single release, from darn well every single corner of the earth on it. Now granted the really rare & hard to find releases can be rather pricey on there, to say the least. But for someone like myself almost exclusively into Japanese punk/hardcore/crust & d-beat just knowing it exists has been an absolute heaven sent for me. Though I am sure (make that, positive) my better half (not really into music aside from the Top 40 on the radio) wishes it was not. 😋 Oh and *Bandcamp* is another great music resource, as well. In my humble opinion, of course. A blessed day to you & yours. Cheers!!!
I have some records that aren't on Discogs, probably because they're small runs from indie bands/artists. But the majority of my collection is on there. I've seen some crazy prices on Discogs. Thanks for mentioning Bandcamp too! It's a great site although I don't use it as often as I should. I have a few records from Bandcamp, and I've been able to upload and sell my own music on there. It's awesome for indie artists.
This was helpful. It just reminded me how lucky I am to be a cd-guy, not having to deal with vinyl: no storage-space problems, no budget problems and no purchase problems either. I know it might not be the same quality of sound as in case of vinyl, but I am absolutely content with what I have...
CDs are awesome for all the reasons you mentioned. I have a CD collection too, and it's way less complicated lol. My CDs sound pretty decent all things considered. But it's good to be content too!
@@MorganBrandon I agree
Cd sound is better! No apologies.
@@DorianPaige00 I really cannot tell cause I don't have a turntable. All I can say is that if I play, for instance, jazz music on my cd player, the musicians are practically 'present' in my room. It is a level of quality that makes me feel satisfied.
Good video, keep them coming!
Thanks, more to come!
I should have planned storage before buying records too.
That's a very good idea.
A few record stores in Milwaukee got 90% of that stimulus check they gave out in 2020. That's the only time I went a bit off budget. My record collection is much nicer because I did though.
Record store day happened in April and it will happen again on black Friday as well. They really should call it record store days.
Great video again
It’s ok to splurge every now and then! What stores do you go to in Milwaukee,
I might check them out next time I go. And yes, it should be record store days lol.
Hey Morgan today when you have the time you should watch the Words On Bathroom Walls movie in honor of Charlie Plummer cuz his birthday's today
It’s a nice movie, maybe I’ll watch it again soon
@@MorganBrandon Charlie Plummer is my favorite actor I love him so much. I watched Spontaneous today. The song that plays in the movie Words On Bathroom Walls by The Chainsmokers is called If These Walls Could Talk
