A fool and his money...
A hobby that has passionate defenders of cables costing four and five figures which any engineer will tell you makes no sense, tweaks consisting of little more than plastic and wire costing thousands of dollars and
THIS RIDICULOUS THING (see "are you kidding me??" below) will easily bear these relatively modestly priced dividers.

I posted about this in 2015 and you responded.
One rationale for the cost of the rack you referenced ($4000 to hold ~500 LPs) is that it is or was manufactured in Brooklyn, where costs of doing business are presumably high. Yet, I recently had a record rack custom built for me by a furniture company in Brooklyn; it holds 800 LPs and cost $800. Looks a lot nicer than the IKEA competition, as well. (Cherry veneer on plywood).
Indeed!
That thing and Bybee "room neutralizer" are my go-to "wtf are you thinking" to illustrate just throwing away money.
Although I DO qualify the room neutralizer statement because I've never heard an actual before and after so... yeah. But still... plastic box with a wire dangling out of the bottom.
But the record storage cart is truly ridiculous beyond all ridiculousness. MAYBE if it's an art object and I'm a big fan of the artist I can see the appeal. But that would be because there are enough other maniacs around that would drive the price up or a least keep it the same. If that's the case with this and I'm just not familiar with the artist, then I take it back.
