Chuck Nessa Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I thought this was going to be about a budget to RECORD some music. I've asked for this from "listeners" for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tapscott Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) Generally, enough for a couple of Cd's per month from websites , a couple from local retail outlets, plus $5-10 monthly put aside for Mosaics. But I almost always spend more than I intend. I am a jazz lover and I have a problem.... Edited February 21, 2007 by John Tapscott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alocispepraluger102 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 My actual budget always seems to be more than my planned budget. I'm sure that I'm not alone. my problems started first many years ago when i bought(without telling the little lady, of course) jarrett's massive sun bear vinyl set and continue to this day with the revenant ayler set. i do about as well with my music budget as congress with the national budget.

J Larsen Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I try to keep it below 5% of my net income on a monthly basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 When Your Music's price was $4.99, my budget was five dolars a week. When they raised the price to $5.99, my budget became $6.00 a week. That ended when I spent $165.00 at the Concord Blowout Sale in August. I didn't buy anything after that (except my monthly Your Music queue selection) until a couple of weeks ago when I spent $23.00 to join the Jazz Heritage Society. I don't expect to be buying anything again until I buy myself an Easter present in six weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG He means to show us how expensive it is to produce a reissue so that we'll stop bitching about the lack of whatever reissue we are bitching about. Well, Chuck should just tell us. It's no good asking consumers who don't know what the cost of whatever is appropriate in the circumstances (which vary) to produce a budget. Chuck obviously can see this, and can obviously see it's silly, which is why I asked what he meant; I can't believe he'd ask such a silly thing. We know it ain't cheap, but we don't know how far away it is from cheap. That would be useful information, in a general sense. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 No set budget. I just try not to bite off more than I can chew and that thread that JSngry started on Japanese Prestiges is really putting that to the test.

Tom Storer Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I have a dedicated mad-money account which I feed to the tune of 75 euros per month. That has to cover CDs and various other purchases. I typically spend 30 to 50 euros per month on CDs, which I usually buy online from the US, since even with shipping it's cheaper than record stores in France.

fent99 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I've been selling the odd thing on Ebay and at the minute try to keep the collection self funding so the paypal account contains the money I have to spend. I like a bottom feeding trawl of charity/thrift/used stores for saleable bargains or any jazz worth listening to and try to fund new purchases from that too. Has the advantage of keeping the volume of discs down to since storage is a major issue anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
