I have a couple of nieces that started getting into vinyl last year. I've been weeding out some of my LP's and giving them some of the stuff I don't care about anymore. The Cars debut album was one of my first picks for them.

Thoughts?

This record store owner is an idiot. The higher the demand for a product the more companies raise the price to milk the profits. It's simple economics.
