There's a lot of people saying "yeah it's cool bro, your money your choice" but coming at it as someone who listens to vinyl;

Fuck off. Prices are already sky-high, if you aren't going to be listening to it, then you're just artificially pushing the price up so you can put it on a shelf. Go buy the CD, buy some merch, buy some tickets, do something with utility, don't blindly consume just because you like the aesthetic. Leave it for someone who will use the record for its intended purpose.

And yes, I take the same view with every "collectable".
