Product Design & Prototype

Finding vinyl records at best price shouldn't be that hard.

Australian vinyl collectors spend hours cross-referencing Discogs, store websites, and Google Maps to answer one question: who has this record near me, and what's the cheapest price?

Existing tools show global pricing but skip local stores entirely. That gap — real shops, real stock, real distance — is where Vinyl Deals Finder lives.

So I had an idea

A mobile-first price comparison tool that combines Discogs marketplace data with real-time local store inventory, surfaced by distance from you. Search any record. See who has it nearby, compare condition grades and prices, and navigate to the store in one uninterrupted flow.

Try it out

Find the cheapest local copy. Tap any record (or use the search bar) to see prices across nearby stores, benchmarked against Discogs.
Make a confident buy. Tap into any record to compare condition grades, pressings, and marketplace listings side by side.
See what's closest to you. Switch to the Nearest tab to sort results by distance and spot who has stock around the corner.
Get to the store. Tap a store row to see contact info, distance, and directions without leaving the app.

Thoughts?

Happy to talk more about it, what can be worked on (yes there are tons). Or we can trade records too ;) Do reach out, shoot me an email.

Thanks for reading!
