I buy stuff online all the time, here's my preferences/dislikes: www.hardwax.com - Excellent, especially for new European stuff. And they'll send you their wee catalogues each month.
www.formic.com - Really vast stocks of old and harder to find stuff, kept up to date and shipped quickly. Recommended. www.submerge.com - they're not answering emails now, though they are in the midst of massive overhauls. Obviously a place to try for 313 stuff. www.recordtime.com - the obvious place to try while submerge isn't in operation, in fact, last time I had word from submerge they said to give them a shot. Their database is a bit hit and miss, sometimes stuff is stocked and sometimes it isn't. Thay can be a bit slack with answering emails, too - are you reading Ani? :) www.recordcollectorinc.com - I've only tried them the once, but I'd definitely keep them in mind. Very friendly etc. www.bentcrayon.com - Judging by their database, these guys look like a veritable Aladdin's cave - they aren't, I've had about a 10% fill rate from them. I no longer bother trying. www.juno.com - fast as f**k, but then, they're in the same city as me. Best for recent releases, too. www.vinylunderground.force9.co.uk - really friendly, great for classics and newer stuff. www.htfr.com - quite lazy about checking their orders, I think - I often don't get any reply. Some of their prices are a bit steep, too. Though they are handy if you want to check the spec of mixers etc. www.mveshops.co.uk - umm, this is where I work, and orders placed here are often handled by me. The website's vastly over priced, as a rule, and features a tiny amount of the stock we actually have. Not really recommended for 313, even if I do say so myself ;) www.danceclassics.com - I tried to get the sonar 123 compilation of these guys recently (thanks again for the tip Armin) but they didn't have it in stock - anyone have it for sale? Or just the Sunlight Infiniti 12" on Peacefrog? Can't comment beyond that, but they have tons of classics at really ridiculously inflated prices. I'm sure I have missed out tons of others. Anyone wanting to buy second hand jazz, disco etc... well, that's another story entirely. Jonny.
