I am sure all of you are aware of Discogs and use it to document your record collections. I myself have a few hundred entries and have been using Discogs to procure some of that collection as well.

I've recently realized that the more time I spend on that site, the more money I spend.

I am not a completionist in any way, but having the collection listed in Discogs just makes it easy to put the missing records on my wishlist and buy it whenever I have some money over.

It's not a problem, but I don't think I would have spent that much otherwise...

@Procedure8295 I think it's okay to spend your money on what you like. It depends on how much, though. You still need to eat at the end of the day. I spend it on Bandcamp and Steam in order to get both games and music. I sometimes also buy a CD or a vinyl from there as well, and list it on my account from there 😁

I also go to various physical vinyl fairs, so I get them cheaper sometimes. Check to see if you have something as well, or a store that sells 2nd hand vinyls where you live.
