Beautiful sharing.. 🥂have a nice day 🌹greeting from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Nice to see you again Ms Guru!! Where have you been??

I remember (1964-66) when I could purchase new sealed copies of LPs for 1.99 (mono) to 3.99 (stereo). The good old days.

Recently read record prices are driving a CD revival

Love Sonic Boom..have spent many enjoyable hours there and left a few dollars behind..great video..👍❤glen

Awesome Toronto content

Welcome back gorgeous.

Wow very cool store. Good to see you back. Yes and the price of records is completely crazy so much for the $2 bins. Lol again great to see you. Keep the videos coming. ❤🎸

I got the best tour of that store with an amazing person once. Love the videos as always VG and glad you’re back 🌹

I love Sonic Boom. I used to go more often when it was on Bloor St.

Good to see you back !

The prices are out of control. I do not enjoy this hobby like I used to. Buying more cassette tapes at this time. Thank you for the video.

😳 omg those prices... a lot of those are like, $20-40 records in the US in the audiophile section they are charging $60-100 CAD for. Crazy!

GREAT TASTE ON THAT SUMAC GIRL. AND I'M COMING FROM THE SAME ERA OF CHEAP PRICES. NOW IT'S OUT OF CONTROL,GET EM' WHILE YOU CAN I GUESS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU FIND THEM FOR DECENT PRICES.

LIKE number 3 which I did with glee. I was literally thinking two days ago, "What's Vinyl Guru up to? It's been a while since she's done a video" and here you are, Christina. All the best as always. :)

Hands down the best record store in Toronto, they have everything.

Good record store tour! Wish I was there 😁 the prices were crazy. The next generation will learn how to hunt and be patient 😂

Lots of pricey records, wow! Gotta be that CAD conversion rate? Cheers Guru 🍺

Yeah your back !!!! Cool store but prices ouch!!! You are not kidding!! My ears and eyes are happy again!!!! Hope to see more.......

Hey! Long time no see! Those prices were a bit too much but the store is definitely a destination. I would have to check it out! Regarding today's prices etc... I generally use discogs and search for best quality, lowest price. I'm on a pension and Social Security so I don't have some bottomless pit of cash and still get records almost daily. Toodaloo!!

Cool ! The first thing you show is my #1 album of all time. Kudos !

Donde estabas? Bienvenida de nuevo!!

I like Sonic Boom, but the prices definitely tend to be way over or way under, rarely spot on. Selling to them is equally hit or miss. They've offered me 5 cents each for records I know they would sell for $40 or more, but then other times they pay $5 for something I couldn't sell for $1 in my own shop. Overall, both buyers and sellers can come out ahead dealing with them but only if they're careful. Kops is the place to go for real bargains (and of course Play De Record, but only if you like a real crate digging experience - you've gotta have hours to kill in there.)

I thought U.K. prices were high ! Doing ‘the math’ I think that store is way more expensive, especially for pre owned. It’s become a wealthy persons hobby. The multiple colour variations they put out now is just designed to rinse the fans. The Q.C doesn’t match the price either. I wondered where you’d gone , it’s good to see you back.

thankyou for sharing

12:46 Laura Nyro More than a New Discovery…. I’ve been searching for that one for eons!

I'm happy i stopped collecting vinyl back in 2010 & focused on buying CD's only. Now i have 90% of the albums i want from my favorite artists discography. I look forward to the day i reach 100% so i can stop wasting money on collecting. Easy to do, most of my favorite bands have broken up & i haven't gotten into new bands since 2015.

Welcome Back To YT Vinyl Guru !! - Clash - London Calling for $60 Canadian dollars at VG is heavy To be fair , I think the tax ( VAT ) is included in the price. New Blur out today ! Oh Yeah 🎸

Hey you thumbed right by Steve McQueen. Night beat is a classic. You’re 100 percent right on prices. Except 60s pop and some psych. Much of that has come way down.

Love cosmic disco. Had the liuck to see Asha Puthli live at age 80+, known for the tune Space Talk. Was crazy to see such a legend.

The prices are just ridiculous, now... 🙄🙄 Glad to see you back, sis 😊

prices are insane. the corps are targeting the younger buyers who dont know any better.

Just avoid stores that are charging silly money, that Walmart type place you were in had a lot of 1-3$ vinyls for sale, that they seemed to be asking 10$ plus for.

I stopped buying records 2yrs ago because the prices here in Australia were outrageous, all the record stores can go broke again and close down as far as im concerned, they won't be getting a satoshi out of me. Who's buying this stuff at these prices?

Knickknacky shit has a lot of higher margins like funkopop, and i love the ideo of framing just sleeves. I have plenty of those !

I remember days were you could spend a 100 bucks and have enough new records to listen to for a whole weekend. That´s not even that long ago, I recon. 10 Years maybe?! These prices got out of hand over the last 1-2 years. I have only seen this insane rise for new stuff though, for used records or albums that came out a while ago prices here are still as they were.

Any Beastie Boys Paul's Botique albums ? ❤

Feel so bad about this generation. When I was growing up there was a set price of 8.99. I went every week and was able to get a couple of 12"''s, 7"'s and full length records. Great time. Setting different prices leaves the door open for greed. Such a shame. I buy used for 1-5 bucks. I'm lucky to have those stores. Get new material on cd. Don't know if these companies are trying to kill it for the next best thing they want to promote. Who knows what goes on in their greedy little minds.

Sonic Fumes... where we sell great records and pay you nothing for them !

NICE SPOT,BUT THEY SEEM EXPENSIVE....FOR REISSUES???

11:00 Vinyl record collecting has become very expensive, particularly for Millennials/GenZ's, which may even turn the majority of them off record collecting in the first place or cut their hobby short after just a couple of years. Even though vinyl has exploded in popularity, it could easily return to just being a small niche market or purely for the well-to-do and not for average, everyday people. Heck, over the past 25 years or more, I bought used records in great shape ranging in price from 50 cents to two or three bucks at thrift stores or $10 or less at used record stores or even taking advantage of dollar bins in stores or "Buy five records for $2.50". Those days seem to be over.

Metalblade had 3 comps, they all have slayer on them.

Jelly. Lol

Personally, I'm tired of the conversation in the VC about new vinyl collectors. They really don't care about deep diving into music history. Let them stand in line for the new Taylor Swift offering and maybe the used market will crash again and the rest of us can afford it again.

I feel like the current climate of record shopping is an overpriced experience. Reissues $35-$59. Everything is repressed on colored vinyl. Everyone prices their records from Discogs. I’ve seen albums priced at over a hundred bucks and they stay on the record store wall for years 😂 I feel like everyone is trying to take advantage of you. And they are if you ate just starting out. The fun has really been sucked out of dggin. Its become lame.
