A.P. as far as classics are concerned it's a seller's market. That's the way it goes I'm afraid. It's obvious that many sellers on ebay and discogs are dealers that buy up classics cheaply and then sell them on with a high mark-up. That's capitalism I suppose.

I myself have a large gap in my record collection for the period between 2000 and 2006, which will prove too costly to fill. Rather than line some greedy so-and-so's pocket, I will just shrug my shoulders and accept the fact that I'll never own the records I seek. Hi-ho.
