How many days between longing and acquisition?

Within half an hour.

but we want to hear it now, instead of tomorrow. Nothing hits a man harder than the desire to experience outstanding music. (oh how pretentious was that?)  Anyway this thread is not just about how much you want to get albums, but also how hard they are to find and how big your budget is.

Prog albums are often hard to come by, hard to buy online and harder to buy in local stores. So, I'm interested in the question: How many days/weeks does it normally take for you between longing for an album and actually getting the album? Could be in digital or physical form.

It normally takes two to four months for me. But it mainly depends on how badly I want something. If it's a Riverside release I'll hunt it down until the heavens fall and the earth no longer revolves around the sun.
