Hey what's the progress on this blog? Major kudos for getting basic info re: vinyls and lps and how to buy/sell vinyls, especially since many of us could probably find a heap in our parents' old basements. Personally I use gemm.com because it hosts a little bit of a niche market as it's less mainstream than amazon and musicstack. Anyways, looking forward to your finished blog!
