I'd much rather have a collection that represents my taste than one that represents "decent records that can be found in my location".
While I think you can find way better records locally than I' d dub "decent", they may not be what you really want in your collection.
Look folks, if you are broke, I can understand why you'd want to limit your purchases to mostly local spots. But that doesn't change the fact that you can get incredible deals on eBay.
I also understand the draw of finding random stuff locally that is unknown to you. That's why I do both: a heavy eBay grip coupled with a thorough ground game.
In 2012, the amount of amazing music from all corners of the globe that you can purchase online is staggering. If you aren't taking advantage of that, I don't envy you.
