you think 15 bucks is too much for a really clean copy of the first nitzer ebb album? u.s. copy on geffen. 1987 pressing. i could be nice and just put 10 on it...

there isn't a single person in the u.s. selling a copy of the nitzer ebb album on discogs. kinda hard to believe. okay, 15 bucks in the store and 20 on discogs. win/win!

went into my least favorite record store yesterday. things have actually gotten worse. two of my favorite pricings were a used copy of Trans for $35 (justified by a sticker saying it is a 1st edition with a typo) and a used copy of Katy Lied for $25. I hope every track is misspelled on that one!

another $100 record had a sticker that said "listed at $150 on amazon!"

I don't why these situations / types of stores are so common around the country, but it's fascinating to see so many of them alive at this point. You'd think they'd be the first to die.

Eh, Scott I'd have done $10 for it.
― Evan, Friday, 20 May 2016 17:36 (seven years ago) link
i never see their records on vinyl anymore actually...
― scott seward, Friday, 20 May 2016 17:37 (seven years ago) link
it's like front 242. used to see their records everywhere not that long ago. or maybe it was long ago...
― scott seward, Friday, 20 May 2016 17:38 (seven years ago) link
i'm actually charging extra five bucks for the near mint vinyl + original inner sleeve. if it had been VG+ i would have done 10.

I've never seen anyone buying them, though I'm sure someone does.

Front 242 rule.
xp 15 is fair IMO

scott should start a thread where we can price a small selection of his bargain bin. maybe he could slap a "priced by strangers!" sticker on each.

though I would love to see people look at a $100 copy of Tango in the Night with the sticker "Alfred told me to!", it is probably not the best way to run a business

front 242 wax trax reissues used to be everywhere for cheap. i can sell the hell out of geography.

I bought Tango on vinyl BITD, disk is so thin you could pick your teeth with it

My Tango has a bad place on track two on both sides (probably the same bad place).

slap a "has two side As!" sticker on it and sell for $650

On behalf of Chuck Eddy, I'd like to price all your moderately-credible hard rock at $5. ANGEL CITY MOTHERFUCKERS

my friend mike came in during the noise nomads matinee today and i sold him the nitzer ebb for ten bucks. #friendsandfamilydiscount
― scott seward, Sunday, 22 May 2016 21:01 (seven years ago) link
I paid $1 for the first one and $2.99 for the second, but I definitely got more than $10 worth of entertainment from each over the years so I'd say your friend did ok.
I don't remember much Front 242 vinyl being around in Cleveland in the late '80s/early '90s. I think Back Catalogue was the first import CD I ever bought, or maybe it was the first Throwing Muses album. Seemed very exotic buying a disc without a longbox.

Returning to the crazily-overpriced records point: at the Strand, everything is $25. This is already a price point where I almost certainly will not buy a record, but my favorite was that it even applied each of the two Use Your Illusions. Fifty dollars for the whole thing! Holy shit! You could get used copies of the original LPs for substantially less, and the whole thing on CD for what, a dollar fifty?

It's laughable. I mentioned on the Neil Young thread seeing a reissue of Decade for $80. I'd estimate that $80 got me every Neil Young album from the first through to Re·ac·tor (14 albums) first time around--Rust Never Sleeps or Hawks & Doves at a minimum.
