Crazy Priced Vinyl On EBAY

shugarecords is a srs goldmine of ebay price insanity

first swans ep, a bargain at $184

I have this, and the production is MUCH, MUCH better than the CD reissue.

The CD reissue sounds like it's being played down a well.

how do you find out how much an LP is worth?

head on over to waxidermy for more shugarecords related bemusement

nickb, is there an online version/equivalent?

I don't know I'm afraid. That book always seems to be the one lurking on the shelf of used record stores though.

yes there is:

This site shows what vinyl (not CDs) went for on ebay, historically.

Popsike's the best one out there, I think, but this one also comes in handy sometimes:

a very nice original copy of the New Creation lp went for over $1200 the other day

Pavement, Terror Twilight, 12 inch vinyl TEST PRESS Domino - 4999

that guy is a douche

if i could get 20K for my signed elliott smith setlist i'd be on easy street

dude, list it

tht terror twilight listing is crazy

holy shit. 25 grand?

I'm going to list all my recs as £25,000 or best offer

Oh shit, I had this and sold it with a bunch of other crap (i.e. Blood Circus, Swallow, Coffin Break etc 7"s) for not much at all. Go me.

that's a $15 record if it's lucky

Oh good, I won't beat myself up about that one then. Helluva crappy record too iirc.

Hmm, Popside has it £26 at it's lowest, £100 at it's highest. Most around the £40-£50 mark.

If you see it for $15, get it!

Popsike, not popside, oops.

poops

Funny, I thought all Swans sounded like this...

WRONG

but I really came here to post this sublimely ridiculous $30,000 Michael Hurley LP...

LOL probably a decimal point issue -- it went for $261 the other day, and theres a $425 buy-it-now now

the first swans EP is a sad story indeed. it's one of the best things they've ever done, but the mostly widely heard version of it is on the filth CD reissue which, as you point out, is a crap remix. I wouldn't say it sounds like it's being played down a well, but rather it lacks punch, it just sounds flat. it's a rather uppity record for swans, it "rocks" in the way some of the faster stuff on filth does but without the grimy production. the labor EP actually has a sheen to it, something I wouldn't characterize other swans recordings as having (until children of god).

I know at one time gira was selling the master tapes for $300 on swans.pair.com - this was probably around 1999 or 2000. it'll probably never get an accurate rerelease unless they go the mark e smith route and master a recording from the vinyl. which I seriously doubt will happen, given gira's obsessive quality control. then again, I never thought rob zombie would let soulcrusher out of the vaults but now there's this http://www.amazon.com/Let-Sleeping-Corpses-White-Zombie/dp/samples/B001H5HWTE/

The Filth remaster isn't very good either.

Has Circus Mort been released on CD yet?

I found a blog that said Gira has no interest in issuing it on CD. I think I heard it at some point and, like the first Swans EP, it surprisingly didn't do anything for me.

that circus mort EP is terrible. it should in no way be compared to the first swans EP (except in that bimble likes neither of them). have you ever heard the original mix, bimble?

I sold some crazy priced vinyl on ebay! :D

Errr, like whut?

tindersticks' curtains. £70.

how much is this really worth?

discogs truth bomb:

0 members have this
0 members want this

their release as polarbear may be worth something but it's no tigermilk

Popsike is a revelation, thank you. I need to get that Dib Cochran promo 7" auctioned - that's serious money.

It is!

damn, wish my drunken housemate hadn't scratched my copy of this Josephine Foster LP up

and Boards of Canada stuff still sells????

This isn't on ebay but it still is crazy priced vinyl. There's 17 days to go and it is already at 26,000 dollars. Some say it may sell for close to 100,000 dollars and it's a 45 to boot !

Yeah, it's $2000 tops.

Doesn't even have 99th Floor on it.

That's kind of weird that people are out there putting "Don Pullen" into the ebay search engine and then driving an admittedly rare record of his up to almost $1,000 when I always end up finding his records for $1 to $6. $10 once sealed.

What I mean is, dude doesn't command cash, at least consistently $10-$30, for any old record the way some avant/free jazzers do like Sun Ra or Albert Ayler. I mean, the record's private press and seeing that it sold for about $1,000 already, I don't actually think in my head, "There's something not right about that." I just wanted to point up the difference between that and what some of his other records sell for in the wild, that there doesn't seem to be much demand for most of his records from the point of view of picking up his stuff in a few different towns and one city.

the ONLY don pullen records that sell for money are the ones that he made with milford. and they always have. first press copies of the yale thing go for 1000+ and even 2000+. no big thing. the same 5 people sell them back and forth to each other every few years out of boredom. like misfits fans.

cripes.. a new high for this one

probably should be more careful with my copy

almost every of the so-called "collector prices" refer to mint copies.
imo, extensive listening to your records makes them 'worthless' for collectors.
