  I'm always kind of disheartened when I go on Discogs as prices just seem to go up and up. Like no deals are to be made, but I guess you have to check it every day to grab the dealz.

  That was me for a lot of years.  I relied on the email that they sent out filled with random wants and never found anything reasonably priced.  I started getting in the habit of viewing the newest additions of wants in the marketplace about 10-20x per day.  That's when I would find deals and reasonable priced items.

  eBay is so fucking dead.  I have an app that searches wants on a daily basis and it's the same overpriced fixed priced bullshit day in and day out.  If there happens to be a live auction, not a BIN, it's carolinasoul / paperstax / funkyou where shit goes massively overpriced.

  Interesting side note:
  
  My nephew has been a fixture in the east coast indie scene for awhile.  He struck up a relationship with a girl on Instagram who happened to be the daughter of Meegan Hodges (Slash's live in girlfriend).  He ended up out in LA to be with her and was suddenly in the Guns and Roses circle hanging out with Duff and Slash on the regular.  Pretty funny as he just a down to earth kid from Bristol, CT suddenly plugged in with all these Hollywood celebutantes.
  
  I got to meet Slash after a show in NY a couple years a go.  My nephew had the hookup to go backstage into his dressing room after a show at Chelsea Piers.  He bounced after about 5 minutes.

  If you like 90s lo-fi indie rock like Dinosaur Jr., Hum, Sonic Youth, you should check out my nephew's band Milly.  Their new single just dropped on Dangerbird.
