How Discogs built — and broke — a community of diehard music fans and sellers.

A home for music diehards has been fractured by increased fees that are pushing sellers and shoppers to other platforms.

    God I hope not - the prices for used records are insane. I can usually buy 2 or 3 mint CDs for the price of 1 “Very Good” (i.e full of pops and scratches) vinyl

      I haven’t experienced this. Typically, a new LP pressing costs about twice as much as a CD. There are some that are more expensive (I currently have an LP worth about $160 in my collection to my surprise), yet they are rarer pressings. I’ve bought most of my vinyl new (mint condition), and by and large those records usually cost $20-$30.
