Crazy Priced Vinyl On EBAY

?????!

though true, don't bite Vahid's schtick

I got my old login back!

Thank you Nu ILX.

Can anybody provide me a link to the "sister CD thread" mentioned by the original poster?

$40? Are you kidding me?

I have the 7'', maybe I should sell it if it's really going for this much...

just look at all his auctions, basically.
i want the gentle soul record he has a copy of.

i want everything. ever.

sealed first state mono VU & nico. FREE shipping!!!

could be crazy warped or some shit. i wouldn't buy it.

sealed records can be fucked. oh they might look perfect till you play them.

yeah I was browsing this dude's listings over the weekend. pretty amazing.

i see him once or twice per week. he does this shit in giant batches, full time. dude just goes to thrift stores and estate sales and shit all day everyday.

*** ONE OF THE NICEST COPIES WE HAVE SEEN LATELY ***

*** GOOD LUCK FINDING ANOTHER STILL SEALED COPY *** is my favorite.

I love the "lately"

You would think the world was picked over at this point to make that kinda digging fruitful .. thrift stores, estate sales, etc. but I guess not!

people die every day, stormy.

yes, but how many record collectors die everyday, worldwide? 10? 50?

they don't have to be hardcore collectors. just a few old hippies will do.

you guys saw that number 00000006 white album auction rite?

(sorry)

haaaaaaaaaaaa

That really is incredible sanskrit. I'm heading to my college town used record store today. I've got some DMB hunting to do.

And for sale by the same store: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150133196404&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_RCRX_Pr4_PcY_BID_IT&refitem=150129531408&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget

Wasn't this just released last year or the year before? Are they really all gone already?

i just went to a tag sale recently where th guy would go home with sealed packages from the department store circa 1972 and dump his package in a box to await my fingers many years later..i love the Carpenters record bag one was in that was still stapled w th receipt..I sold a bunch of th sealed stuff to an Ebay guy (Rosie(of the Originals fame),T-Bones,Johnny Tillotson,.,bleh,,but I kept Sam th Sham live and Play Country Guitar instructional w Jimmy Bryant,Smiley Burnette,Sandy Nelson,Augie Myers 1st LP,Cal Tjader etc..dreams still come troo even if its not gold nuggets.

That Faine Jade album up there is great. Dunno if I'd pay that much for it though.

i know it's not that much money, but why are you selling a record for $110 when 2 were just up for auction. one sold for 10$ and the other didn't sell for 10$ (had a scratch on it).

The "Buy it now" is like "I will sell it for THIS MUCH!!" and wait until someone needs it desp and there's no time for waiting for auction ends, or there arent any.

yeah that can be found for 75 cents (good record tho!).

there's a contrarian listing strategy where you throw something up to start for $10 and eat the extra fees for a $200 buy it now to subliminally influence bidders (but the buy it now disappears after the first bid). it's worked for me in the past kinda but i haven't done it in years.

believe in the wisdom of free markets

are you talking about the eddie kendricks? if so, find me one. they don't turn up around here and dude from sound library type store in SF told me it's a 30$ record.

The greater fidelity results in crisper, deeper sound--undoubtedly the way Carlos D wants you to hear the record!

sez "academy annex":

U.S. and Canada Rates - USPS Priority Mail
PLEASE NOTE NEW RATES
East of the Mississippi-

$ 7.00 - 1st LP

$ 1.00 - each additional LP

$ 4.00 - 1st 45
West of the Mississippi-

$ 8.00 - 1st LP

$ 1.00 - each additional LP

$ 5.00 - 1st 45

What in the world could justify this?

it's a very wide river.

easy, priority mail plus delivery confirmation starts at $5.25 these days. USPS doesn't have any free shipping boxes that are really suitable for 12" records, so you have to buy them, which will run you about $1-1.50 per box. so just to pay for postage and packaging, you're up to $6.25 minimum for a 12".

look, i just thought the DMB listing was funny. let's all be cool, just a little fun.

With new postage rates, it actually DOES cost more to ship to the west coast than it does, say, from NY to Florida. This is just a simple way of balancing it out--this seemed the best option rather than a) increasing ALL rates (even when it doesn't cost us as much) or b) determining postage on a case-by-case basis (postage scale not equipt with geographic variables.)

That said, our auctions are nowhere near as funny as b0bdjukic's. $600 for a STEPPENWOLF LP?!

I had no idea!

was in a record store in LA and there was the first Olivia Tremor Control record on the wall for 80$. i asked if it was special or something and dude told me that's what they go for on ebay?! i hope i still have those things

2nd OTC record goes for even more.
that's the one i like.

I was really surprised to see Mamas and Papas LPs for, like, seven bucks in a record store here in Seattle the other day. Not that they're not great or worth it, but If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears is a thrift-shop staple almost as much as Whipped Cream and Other Delights.

went to kstarke records in chicago this week, a little store on western ave set up by a vinyl collector. he basically does "graveyard wholesaling"--looking at garage sales, estates, and the like and buys tons of stuff for nothing at all, then turns around and sells it in his store for $5–10 or more (he saves the most valuable stuff for ebay). trouble is he is seemingly not concerned with condition so he'll sell a worn-down copy of some Dionne Warwick LP, whose jacket is split at the seams, for over $6. kind of ridiculous.

i got rid of both OTC records a long time ago :(
