I've had an online record store for about six years, and currently, have 13,000 records for sale (and another 20,000 offline). It'd be great to get my inventory listed for sale on Peerhub, but that's not feasible at the moment. In my next post, I'll write about what needs to be done to make that happen.
Many people hold the belief that only hipsters buy vinyl. While it's true that many hipsters do purchase vinyl, the most common profession amongst record collectors is surprisingly a software developer. I know there are a lot of them in the Steem/crypto space, so I'm sure we have some record collectors amongst us.
You might ask, Why are software developers into vinyl!? Given they're on the cutting edge of technology, it seems strange that they'd want to play their music on a record player. I'm just postulating here, but maybe it's because they're surrounded by the latest technology all day. Putting a record on the turntable and watching the music play helps them unwind by removing them from the digital age for a while.
At one time I had a website for my store, but the traffic to that site couldn't compete with the traffic at various online music marketplaces, so I decided to shut it down.
Until I get my store on Peerhub, you'll have to go over to Musicstack, Discogs, or eBay to spend your STEEM. Although it's the least-trafficked site of the three, I recommend browsing my inventory on Musicstack, because that's where you'll find the largest selection. You can also check out my stores on Discogs and eBay.
I'm excited to help turn Steem into a real economy by giving users another place to spend their earnings. Once we have enough places to spend our STEEM and Steem Dollars, it won't be necessary for STEEM to be traded for fiat or another cryptocurrency.
