1500 dollars for four Madonna tapes. http://www.discogs.com/Madonna-The-Madonna-Collection/release/7035731

current bid for white album #0000001 = US$80,000

auction finishes tomorrow @ 10:00 AM PST if you still want to get a bid in

Mmm, it'll be three times that is my guess.

yeah that estimate was obviously way too low.

Oh, is it still going?

think it finishes at 6pm UK time? currently on $95k - i'm gone

Looks like it ends in about an hour.

*that* drumkit @ $400k

it would appear that ringo is decluttering. is he short of money? is he planning to go into space?

Charity gig. Plus decluttering.

There's a live auction room feed now, but it's going to take them a long time to reach the interesting lots. like keith's panda.

that 00000001 is lot number 1005. they are currently on lot 14...

Scared to poke around on thst site now in case I accidentally go big on some owl figurines

Owl figurines were def on my list of things I might needlessly end up with.

Still going..

Up to 677 right now..

$2,100,000 or thereabouts for the drum kit.

that could buy an awful lot of owl figurines

Listening in to this out of curiosity. Glad they just changed the auctioneer.

Also, they're on Lot 989 now, so the white album will be up very shortly...

holy shiiiiiiiiiit:

~~~~~ Lot closed - Winning bid:$790,000 ~~~~~

hammer price is showing as a mere $650,000 though so i'm confused as to what the final cost was

auction house confirms it was $790,000

it is a double album i guess

peanuts

£10 on CD from Amazon

I was going to guess a 10x premium over the #5 record...holy crap

I know, I called as three times the $80k bid it had reached by Thursday. Thought I had gone over. Nope, to say the least.

£600 for a Mission 7 inch, has to be a decimal point typo.

yes, should be before the 6

Still, 599 nectar points...

£7,000 for a Phil Collins LP on Discogs. It's the arty Phil Collins, but still. Next most expensive one is £6,900 cheaper.

FULLY SIGNED ON FRONT & BACK COVER (TASTEFULLY) BY BAND WHEN THEY PLAYED MY VENUE IN FRESNO CALIFORNIA

Seller doing it wrong, should get the "Ziggy Test Pressing" guy to write his copy if he wants to push his fuckin luck like this: https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/280999442
(For archival purposes, this is a 5,000 euro mono first press of "Piper at the Gates of Dawn")

about to cop https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/311127119

Same seller has a 2000 dollar maroon 5 LP

https://www.discogs.com/buy/Vinyl/Maroon-5-Overexposed/311127113?ev=idrec

lol, not to mention a $15,000 Maroon 5 box set. https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/310999747

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

Piper price drop to 4500 euros! Grab it while it's cheap!

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.

When that Pink Floyd album went on sale in 1968, it was priced at 18/- , did the market have it wrong?

(Spoiler: No. )

hd: sounds like an interesting read please post if you find it again

They may be national treasures but if they aren't rare then they aren't going to be expensive.

Granted, this record is a total belter, and is a nice edition, and is small in number. However, $2,499.98 does seem a little off the scale. I do like that it's .98 and .99 though.

Yep, although seems to have an order of magnitude related problem with his pricing.

Value is determined by desirability and rarity. He seems to have grave misapprehensions about both of those as it relates to his babies, I mean, record collection.

Majority of his stuff is low-price, I think his method is "Not selling this one now, unless someone wants to pay £3K "
