Where does the $ come from?

It just struck me that amassing a killer vinyl collection seems somewhat incongruous with the starving grad student budget. "How then," some of you may be asking," Does Brenden fund his unhealthy vinyl habit?" I'll tell you my secret. I have been taking all of my old CDs and lots of old books I don't want, and selling them online. Also, I have done some wise investing in certain vinyl titles which I have been able to resell for profit. So there you have it. No, I haven't happened upon large sums of cash with which I'm buying these records, I'm just trading in all my old stuff for them. Also, quite a few were given to me as gifts. So far, I think it has worked quite well.
