OK, so not strictly about music but, given the power the internet wields over the collecting scene today, any of you not au fait with its charms (and hair-pulling, teeth-gnashing, wallheadbutting frustrations) are going to need this to get up to speed. Ian Peel has been RC’s eBay chronicler for years now, here widening the net to take in Amazon, Craigslist, Freecycle and anywhere else you can potentially get your one-time wreckastow-only bargains.
Given Peel’s inside-out knowledge, it’s no surprise that this “guide” does everything but sell or buy your records for you… And when you’re done with that, there’s plenty of useful detail on where to save money elsewhere online. Fed up of paying through the nose to call your bank? Try saynoto0870.com. Looking to avoid hefty postage charges on, say, Argos buys? Check out any of the myriad voucher codes websites out there.
Of course, anyone reading this will be most interested in making money from their record collection, or expanding it on the cheap. Peel delivers the goods simply, so that even the most technophobic reader could be just a click away from finding that Leaf Hound LP or shifting their White Stripes Triple Inchophone. At £6.99, Peel’s already handed over your first bargain, given the ca$h mon£y you could hoard from following his advice.
