Can't speak for the OP, but in the early 2000s, I was buying new-pressing indie, electronic, and some classic rock musicians (e.g. Neil Young) on vinyl. But mostly I was buying older used records, which at the time were cheap (they've gotten much more expensive around here). Some of the new pressings I bought back then go for a fair amount used now, because they were pressed in very limited quantities and there were way fewer people buying vinyl.
