When charity shops open that's best first place, ours have started opening and always have records. Ebay another good site all depends on what music your after

Unfortunately, vinyl doesn't come cheap as it's a fad at the moment.

I've got a load of old records including 78s, I did list a few on ebay but no interest. Seems like its specific records people pay good money for, others not so much. I don't have a record player any more. I wish there was a good swapping site I think many people would like to swap stuff without actually spending money.

vinyl prices are high at the moment as it is a bit of a fad, ebay and music magpie sell some used, i also use discogs.com which can work out cheap if buy a few to save on postage, also some groups on social media that buy/sell/swap etc

Have a look on ebay! I'm sure you could find records at good prices there 🙂

Always look for records at charity shops, ebay and carboot sales. You can be surprised at what you find.

Best place to buy good and cheap records is second hand stores. I found on Ebay that they are charging extortionate prices for the same record you can pay less that a fiver for in a second hand shop. My local charity shops have most of theirs for £1 or less.

Like with all building projects you need to make sure you have a good bass.
