True. The survey was probably on a small quantity or low end of  
people.

The article *was* a mishmash reporting of new/used.

I had a few albums that I "rescued" from garbage, just sitting  
outside waiting to be picked up.  Some had clearly damaged  
covers and the LPs were not prestine either.  But I sold them  
at $5+   Truly, people just wanted to relive the tangible, the  
album art, and the notes inside the double-album ones.
