You need to get to know your local independent record store owner. Not
just the employees. The proprietor. They hear about new pressings long
before they happen, and they can reserve copies with the label if you're
interested. If you know them well enough, sometimes they'll even stock
a copy of a disc if they think you'll like it. A good repeat customer
is worth more than gold to them.
I pay about $50/disc, and they're usually recordings you can't get on
vinyl or CD. And I would guess that you're probably right in that many
of them go to jukebox owners, although there are also some pressings
that might not "fit in" in a jukebox. I mostly buy old recordings of
classical music. The other music I'm interested in, I can get on FLAC,
CD or Vinyl.

I'm under
30, and I still buy vinyl. Hell, there are still small
production runs in 78RPM Victrola records and I buy those too.
Where on earth are you finding new 78's? I've heard rumors of such but
not found them. Now there is something I suspect I don't want to know
how much they cost! I assume like many of the last 78's produced in the
50's as they faded out they're vinyl? Are these being produced for
people with 78RPM Jukeboxes?
