The story was, that John had the first batch of the White album at his house, a builder who did some work for him was like "wow! the new album", John was "yep. You want one? any number except one to four."
So, I believe the $30K one was that guy.
Also, that John gave #1 to Ringo.
Which was nice.

their prices start at $100 which is mostly new vinyl everyone else is selling for a quarter of that
don't understand the rationale behind this at all, I guess it's plausible that some wealthy sucker might throw them a few grand here and there but where does anyone imagine the market is for a hundred-dollar Hot Chip LP

mad logic!
I only sell what i believe to be awesome stuff, and i'm pricing them based on a combination of their relative scarcity and degree of awesomeness. If you look at my listings on the desktop site rather than mobile, and look more closely at the absolute number of haves, wants, the have-to-want ratio, and the listener rating (adjusting for ratings sandbaggers), you'll see there's an internal logic to my pricing that is informed meaningfully by that information, along with a few other adjustments. i am ignoring past sale prices, because past sale prices have been an absolutely horrendous indicator of fair future pricing. What stands for great, rare music is of course entirely subjective, but what i'm certain of is the market currently has it wrong, as it almost always does. If you look at the history of rare record pricing over the last decade, it's laughable just how wrong the market has been. Ask yourself, what were most of these records selling for five to ten years ago? So was the market pricing right five to ten years ago? No, it was totally wrong! I'd argue the price of killer grail-class records has been and still is very low, rather than my prices being very high. I view the majority of albums i'm selling as national treasures, and part of our global cultural history, and there is a huge under-awareness of them by the majority of turntable owners and music lovers around the world.

There's something to that, weirdly - I can't remember where I read it, but there's an article out there somewhere on how it was book dealers, not market forces, that created the market for modern first editions in literature and a number of other book collecting areas. Still I hope this guy's doing it as a hobby, because I think he's going to have a while to wait before the world catches up to his pricing.
