I plan on buying one of these some day. I'm trying to figure out a way to write it off my taxes. I'm thinking I can get a business ID, start an online record store with a few thrift store record collections, buy the player, and then write it off as a business expense.

I had no idea such a thing existed. With help from Google, I am now convinced that I also must have one.
