Cannot help with CDs - but here are my sources for vinyl
- Forum members
- Some of my best used vinyl are from forum members who put up some for sale from their collections from time to time.
- vinylworld.in - They refresh their collection every Monday and Thursday. Good packaging. But the prices have gone through the roof now and I've stopped buying from them.
- musiccircle.online - Pilak Bhatt's online store, seems to be under renovation. If you're in Mumbai you can visit it yourself. Prices a bit high but if you are careful and have time you can find good stuff. Also see the other threads for other perspectives.
- discogs - never bought from them but heard good things.
- musicstack.com - bought plenty, has Paypal protection, stick to European sellers with high ratings. As oracle1974 mentioned above, it can be a lengthy process to find one seller who has all records you actually want (and not buy just to fill up the cart and save on shipping). This is mostly for Western music.
- snowrecords.com - Japanese site, great packaging and most records are underrated in terms of grading. Has a lot of Japanese pressings, LP grading is top class. They refresh once a week, have a sale going on always (~50-90%, but check the grading also)
- olx - Mostly filled with dealers who quote astronomical prices for badly maintained LPs. But I am putting it here as once in a while you find people who are selling off old collections at reasonable rates. But it's hard to find such cases. This is hit and miss as there is no grading.
- ebay.co.uk - Usually good packing from most sellers
- Amazon.co.uk - For new vinyl. Can be expensive but no issues with shipping and duty - both are managed by Amazon and included in the price.
- houseofrhythm.in - Bought a few from them, excellent packaging but higher prices than what you would pay on Amazon India, if it's available there.
- ngh.co.in - Sky high prices for old vinyl. I avoid but YMMV.

Is Discogs the best place to source vinyls ?? They seem to have a very exhaustive collection. Rates are also very affordable (I understand many of the vinyls are not brand new, even so), just that the shipping charges hurts :mad: :cheers:
