Said goodbye to my vinyl today
I just left for san francisco and unfortunately i had no funds to send my records. So now i am without vinyl it sucks I got the equipment here but no vinyl. I am gonna buying lots of vinyl now to make up for my loss. All the kids in my whole dormatory are like where and stuff. I earned the rep as the schools dj.
if you had no funds to send the records how are u going to buy more records?
I hope you're not an economics major...
here's an idea.
ssl and buy your mp3's online...no more vinyl...
what a load of bollocks.
you could have at least chosen 1 record bag full and brought those with you.
LMFAO!!!! Are you telling me that you had enough room for all your gear, but no extra room for any of the records so you just left them all?? Now you're going to replace your whole collection which is going to cost alot more than shipping them would have just because you didn't have enough money to ship them originally. This makes perfect financial sense....
EDIT- Yes, I guess you if you had a massive collection of vinyl or you were moving overseas it would make a bit more sense, but I dunno it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Well it could really depend on the size of the collection.
I personally left around 200 records back in the US when I had to move back to France .... you have any clue how much of a hassle and cost it would be to send them over?
I know over the years I'll progressively bring them back in lots but for now no I wasn't able to do it AT ALL.
but its like someone already said... couldnt you have picked 5 or 6, put em in a bag, and bring em with you?
Shipping via sea take months, but is cheap.
No excuses 
if i ever move to the states as I may do one day.....the whole lot is coming with me- studio eqpt, records- the lot. Will cost me a fortune but i dont care.
When I moved from Dallas to Pennsylvania I had intentions of taking my vinyl with me. (I drove up first before the movers delivered my furniture) By the time I packed my car with the necessities and half my gear (CDJ's, mixer, monitors), I had no room for the vinyl or turntables. Instead, it had to ship with the rest of my furniture, meaning that it was in the hands of the moving company for about 10 days. Being that it was in the middle of summer, i was more than a *bit* nervous about my records being in the back of a semi-trailer for an extended period. They made it fine but, I was nervous the whole time.

This thread is funny 
rip your vinyl to .wav's..burn em to cd-r..sell your technics and all your vinyl..buy 2 cdj 1000 mk2's..for now on buy your muzik through beatport, dj download, audio jelly etc problem solved
who cares vinyl is soo much more important.
Very idiotic thing to do mate.
You should have planned ahead by making enough space for your decks & vinyl. If i were moving, this would have been my primary priority.

so dont bring some clothes/books/shoes/shit 10 times less important than records. i managed to bring my whole collection from india to thailand to the US, and then moved to college with them. where theres a will theres a way. i suggest you try something to get them back, and next time pack a bit smarter
razzi.
I should really re-read my post before posting. THe equipment i am using is the radio stations here at the school. I will buy more vinyl by getting a job and I did bring a back pack full of records but the bag could hold only 20 records and my collections consists of over 300 songs
btw my own equipment is still home. It cost me 325 american dollars to send my tower and monitor plus an adcom amplifier and klipsch sub(25 lbs). I needed to send the amplifier so i can sell it and the klipsch sub is for my 2.1 computer system so i need that too.
Vinyl takes precidence over the gear.. you can buy that stuff anywhere!

i forgot to mention one last thing....my vinyl is backed , or most of it, up on my computer. So hopefully you guys don't get the wrong impression that i am really stupid
^Well stupidity is an understatement here so don't worry about it...
I moved to Canada all the way from Karachi - Pakistan last year. There was no way i could carry the gear with me due to the weight factor etc so i gave them away to local djs back home. I gave it away for free regardless of the fact that i could have sold it for some serious $$$, even more then the original price (large demand and short supply!)because back home the djing scene is very underground and believe it or not, we might have a lot of clubs opening up but not one proper damn djing shop to buy gear etc! It was my one last contribution to the local djing scene which is still in its infancy.
Now as far as my Whitelabels and rare Vinyls are concerned, I made damn sure that I brought them along with me even if i had to carry it on a plane half way across the world.

it doesn't really matter if i don't have my vinyl here now. in three months it will be thanksgiving and I will have my vinyl and ship it then. but for now i will have to suffice without them. It's not like i got rid of the records besides i only have cd players out here at the radio station...their technics have 500AL cartridges which i won't let touch my vinyl
