So here's where I'm at... do I spend the $30 for a record I want on amazon (seems kinda dumb, although sometimes there's good deals), hope something shows up on discogs reasonably priced, or keep going to Randy's records and pickup used records that I only mostly like (usually can't find my favorites for cheap/used). The latter is what I did last time I bought records, and then I noticed zooropa is no longer on Amazon reasonably priced, and so I bought Pop and Achtung Baby at a somewhat reasonable price (I think more than $10 a pressing is too expensive, but I end up doing it anyway). Over $20 better be worth it.
Anyway, just thinking out loud.

I try my best to not browse on amazon because it can get dangerous for my wallet..
However if my local shop cannot get something in for a good price (they are usually really good at ordering stuff in for me if I ask) then sometimes I'll order from amazon. I do have prime too which usually means free 2 day shipping which is great.
Overall I prefer to buy used when I can, but as far as new releases go amazon can be a good place to start.

My record shop nearby closed down, so it's a 80 minute roundtrip drive... only get up there about 2x a year and I suppose I'm more interested in specific releases, but feel like I'm getting gouged buying new. My record shop often isn't better than Amazon. But sometimes have really good finds used or sometimes a unique pressing for good price.
20 years ago I would have laughed at myself now, buying a record for $20. Perhaps it's payback because if it weren't for those BMG music group deals, I would have bought everything used.
