Sumthin' funny goin' on there. Makes me wonder if they actually have the vinyl. Note the "3-5 week delivery". Betcha if you dug deeper they'd say "Send us the vinyl and we'll copy it for you".
They're in the duplicating business, not the CD retailing business.

My thoughts exactly !

It seems totally implausible to me that a duplicating business would have such an abstruse piece of vinyl hanging 'round the office !!

Maybe they bought it from your dad?

You think? If you dig they are very explicit that they are providing a service and the service is giving you a digital copy of music you already own on vinyl. The offer services where you ship them the vinyl, where you "prove" you own the vinyl and where they will sell you the vinyl and make a copy of the vinyl they just sold you.

Everything is painfully legit up until the instant that the vinyl gets sold or transferred to someone else while the CD is retained. This is a legal service that has a potential to be abused.

I didn't dig any deeper than the home page on the link. It's just that someone less knowledgable than ourselves might not get that from the home page. I just think presentation was a bit misleading, kind of like an "advertising come-on" that gradually gets you committed to a purchase before the fine print and caveats are disclosed.

I'm assuming you mean the "purchaser's vinyl". Interesting point, but, rhetorical question: how could it ever be policed?
I didn't doubt the legitimacy of the service itself, but it also gives me a new insight into the whole used record/cd/video store dynamic. They only offer 25% or even less, of what they'll sell it for, IF they even want it. So it does seem to remove some economic incentive to buy something, copy it, and sell the original as used. Especially if it was sold in volume and used copies are a "dime a dozen".
I think used record stores are covered under the same legal umbrella as used bookstores, but I forget the specific concept.
That leads me to the conclusion that the service of copying is probably limited to a niche market of people who want to transfer their vinyl to CD, but it seems there's cheaper and more readily available alternatives. Maybe there's a whole lot of people who don't have a turntable anymore? And a whole lot of people who don't have a way to transfer to CD if they DO have a turntable?
Just thinking "out loud".
