Why wouldn't they want to admit that?
I like can spend under seven or eight bucks on a Criterion LD and I know I'm getting something worthwhile out of it that I probably haven't seen, pretty good ROI on this little hobby so far.
i think price is a bigger decider in collecting that people want to admit. One of the things I love about records is often times I can buy a huge pile for below 20 bucks. And then I can spend an evening just listening to new things I've never heard before. If it doesn't pan out, whatever, you wasted 10 or 25 cents. Thats the price of gum. If you strike gold, holy shit, you hit gold!

That and they don't want the secret getting out and the price to go up. I hate place that want $5 to $10 for $1 used records.
I'm proud to admit I collect laserdisc because I'm a cheap bastard and most of my movies cost pocket change.
That is not a circle I want to be in.
I'm proud to admit I download them because I'm even cheaper than you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whatever it takes. I'm enjoying my rich Corinthian leather T2, if the mood passes I'll sell it to the late-to-the-party hipsters for twice what I paid for it in two years.

Are you suggesting that you're on time for the party?
When people are clearing out their collections for pennies on the dollar? Yes. Yes I am.
I'll let you know how that Tex Avery set is.
