Sadly, in my area I've seen the used vinyl shops closing their doors, with few opening in their place. Sometimes it feels like it's a dying market. And it sucks if you're really committed to vinyl.
I can't go into a local stereo shop anymore and buy a standard amp/receiver with 'phono' jacks on the back anymore.
I can't buy a decent, affordable turntable without buying a used one.
And now, it seems like more and more used vinyl shops are closing their doors.
How is it in your area - - do you feel like eventually all good things vinyl will eventually truly go away?? I suppose Ebay is fine (I've never used it), but nothing beats killing a rainy afternoon in a used record shop.
