In the past year por so I put together turntables, actually complete systems, with stuff codged from Craigslist for 4 of the nice young people at my shop PLUS my daughter. (They paid for the stuff, no markup, I did it for the fun of it!)
These are young, super-bright hipster-artist-types in their mid-thirties or thereabouts. Very tech-savvy but totally non-audiophiles!! They all thought vinyl was somehow cool, but have no real record collections nor perhaps any interest beyond showing a turntable off for their friends. With one real exception, I'm guessing their turntables are sitting under piles of moldering junk-mail and copies of "Wired" magazine.
The time to SELL records in now- if you're in a selling mode. I have been thinning the herd steadily and it's a seller's market right now, probably because of these very hipsters. I assume the WSJ says that this little bump was just a bubble and it's popping...
