Red Trumpet is good too! http://www.redtrumpet.com
A lot of it depends on what kind of records ya want but heres a couple that should tide you over with the others mentioned above.

www.dccblowout.com
Also last I checked www.circuitcity.com still had a few Lps floating on their website. Problem is you have to search artist by artist but they used to have free shipping.

Musicweb -- http://www.musikweb.com/ -- is good for cut-out vinyl and CDs; I've ordered from them several times. I also like to order direct from the artist and/or record label -- Foe

Also lots of new stuff on eBay. Most of the larger sellers of LPs have a business of selling LPs, so you can contact them directly and see what they have. I just send them an e-mail through the eBay contact and ask them to get back to my e-mail address so you aren't working through eBay. In addition to the ones listed above, I have had good luck on occasion with www.micksmuse.com.

i've done some vinyl shopping here lately: http://www.musicstack.com/ and have thus far been very happy with the results.
I also have enjoyed what I've heard from Analogue Productions thus far.

There are several factors involved. Primarily what they have to pay the artists/managers in the way of royalties. But a $12 180g LP sounds like a sale. Something that was not popular and they want to move to recoup their investment. $20-25 is the normal range of new, unless you buying a 45rpm 12" LP or some artist who is in high demand with only a small pressing available.

The local independent record chain sells a lot of indie label 180gr albums for less than 15 dollars.Both of the Hives Lps were 180grs and were 13 each.A lot of young bands and small labels have 180gr records as a matter of course.bear-hifi said:

www.dccblowout.com - this is an excellent person to deal with.
180g / 200g records? Depends on how well they did the pressing. I have the Alison Krauss - "New Favorite" from www.amusicdirect.com and this is one well made pressing. I also have the SACD and the record has a far better sound than the SACD.
Good luck and glad to see some one else is enjoying the vinyl.

My Favorite Record Store
The Elusivedisc

the owner is a great guy and will discuss the quality of EACH recording. he lists a lot of what he likes but can special order anything. he will provide discounts on larger orders... his name is Bob Bantz and you can say Tyler sent you.
i called this guy about 15 years ago and was really bored with my music. he seemed like a good guy and i said "send me 10 cds of your choice." they all turned out to be fantastic! i lost touch with him over the years and called him after about a 10 year hiatus and he said "didnt i once pick out some albums for you?" now, i was robbed really bad in June and lost my entire music collection of 1000+ cds. www.elusivedisc.com has helped me replace and given good disc and superfast shipping, super helpful, and i cant say enough about the level of service, packing, and attention. this is a quality seller with a true LOVE of music. give him a try and dont be put off if something has a high price, its because its rare or special in some way. AND he can get anything you want.
