    I don't know if it counts... I have had a copy in the shop that I recently pulled off the shelf for "further review".

    it's okay, i've done that twice with that record. the first time, i was young and stupid. bought it back because i heard it again and thought it was all kinds of awesome. the second time was for a good cause.

    Spirit "12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus" bought and sold, bought and gave away, etc, good thing its dollar bin common. I don't like it today, but I think I'll like it tomorrow.

    bought it back because i heard it again and thought it was all kinds of awesome.

    I still don't think it's all kinds of awesome, but I think I want to own it as a collectro.

    I keep rebuying it because the wife and I had sex while it was playing in our room on my vestax port in chicago in the Intercontinental HOtel.

    I buy it, listen to it, and know it sucks so I sell it. Then I think about that day, I think, damn I should get that lp again.... so I do. Then I know it sucks

    and the cycle keeps repeating.

    While I definitely prefer their first album, love this album's title track.

    Craig G 'Now That's More Like It'

    I traded it for something I needed, went back to the guy the next day and bought it back.
    I thought I could live without 'Ripped To Streads' on wax, but I was mistaken.

    My whole current hip hop collection! Half of it got stolen and I was so angry/upset that, like a complete fist, I sold the rest! Still haven't got a quarter of what I had originally and it's been 6 years.

    I just rebought the 2nd Slick Rick Cd... it was only $3. I'm undecided on whether this was a wise move or not... I saw all those good singles on there and decided I should have it again...

    in the past two years i've bought back most of the hip-hop, indie rock and punk that I sold back in the 90s to buy jazz records.

    i thow away and buy back a lot of common records all the time. mostly because I drive all the way to the thrift store, park, get out and dig through the bins.
