Mark Dery on the old, weird eBay

Oh yeah, I very recently bought an excellent turntable used off eBay. I realized that for the amount I’d been ready to spend for a new turntable I could instead buy a used audiophile turntable and upgrade about two significant steps in quality. (Rega Planar 3, half the new price.)

I’m blasting Robyn Hitchcock’s new album now and feeling very smug about making the right choice. “1970 is gone now, sits in amber like a fly.”
