   True. The survey was probably on a small quantity or low end of     
   people.

   The article *was* a mishmash reporting of new/used.

   I had a few albums that I "rescued" from garbage, just sitting     
   outside waiting to be picked up.  Some had clearly damaged     
   covers and the LPs were not prestine either.  But I sold them     
   at $5+   Truly, people just wanted to relive the tangible, the     
   album art, and the notes inside the double-album ones.
