how much should i charge for nick drake box on hannibal? somewhat discoloured box. sun? it happened to my copy at home too. must have been the ink they used. anyway, clean vinyl, booklet, etc. the old one. not the new fancy one with the dvd. or maybe i should have two copies. one at home and one at the store. in case of earthquake.

$40?
― not everything is a campfire (ian), Thursday, 12 August 2010 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link
would be my gut feeling
huh, looks like it sells for closer to $60 or $70 or sometimes more. Maybe put $50 on it? People do love Nick Drake.
― not everything is a campfire (ian), Thursday, 12 August 2010 20:46 (fourteen years ago) link
i was thinking 50!

What's a fair price for a very nice copy of Slapp Happy "Desperate Straits"?

― Mark G, Monday, 25 October 2010 16:16 (thirteen years ago) link

Alter Ego & Friends Obsessional Schizophrenia LP (C. Schneider, 1972)
^does anyone know this and is £15 a decent price? NB I know the dude talking about rereleasing it in the comments - the copy sitting in a shop near to me was presumably sold by him so idk if he had a spare or what - the only online prices I can find are a lot pricier than that but none of them are what ppl have actually paid for it

one sold on Popsike for $38, so that seems like a good price (nb that was in 2005)
― sleeve, Sunday, 16 January 2011 17:25 (thirteen years ago) link
is 15 pounds like 20 or 25 u.s.? that doesn't seem so bad for an oddity like that. and you gotta ask yourself when you would ever see another copy.
the real crazy thing to me sometimes is that there are more than like 5 copies of an album like this to sell in the world.
― scott seward, Sunday, 16 January 2011 17:29 (thirteen years ago) link
23.8 u.s. dollars to be exact. hell, i'd probably sell it for more than that in my store. i'd put it on my wall for 30 bucks. it would look nice on my wall.
― scott seward, Sunday, 16 January 2011 17:31 (thirteen years ago) link
got a 2nd state pasted over butcher cover. has some splits but it's not in terrible shape. the vinyl is pretty beat but i figure that don't matter much. someone can just swap another copy for the beat one. was gonna bring it to the record show tomorrow. any thoughts? 2nd state covers seem to be in the 3 to 4 hundred range, so i thought about going low at 250 and actually selling the damn thing. or should i be a record show jerk and go high?
― scott seward, Friday, 8 April 2011 14:40 (thirteen years ago) link
also got THE nicest copy of ummagumma that i've ever seen. first press u.k. copy. gigi cover. don't think it was ever played. vinyl is so beautiful. put 200 on that. (i'm bringing mostly cheap stuff to the show.)
― scott seward, Friday, 8 April 2011 14:41 (thirteen years ago) link
big show in new jersey this weekend. but i will be at the local yokel umass show.
price to sell is my advice, the recession is still out there. I lowballed a lot of my stuff at the February show I tabled at, and still did less than I expected.
― sleeve, Friday, 8 April 2011 15:02 (thirteen years ago) link
yah, i'm bringing a lot of five dollar stuff that i would price at 6 to 10 in the store.
― scott seward, Friday, 8 April 2011 15:04 (thirteen years ago) link
basically my being there is just an ad for the store in a way. so, i'm not all that concerned about selling a ton. i'm not even bringing a ton of stuff. just a good cross-section of what i sell. hand out a bunch of cards, etc. (oh and buy way too much stuff so that i can say i help keep the local record economy rolling...)

what the hell does this current 93 tibetan monk chant record sell for? i've never seen one before.
― scott seward, Monday, 25 April 2011 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link
jeezus, not much i guess. one just sold for a dollar.
― scott seward, Monday, 25 April 2011 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link
you can still probably put $20 on it in the store.

if there are goths in greenfield anyway.
yeah that's what i was thinking. i put ten on it.
just sold some records to terry adams. i like that cuz i know they'll go to a good home.

i got this sweet minty 60's u.k. comp of memphis blues in and man i can't find a price anywhere so fuggit i put 30 bucks on it. so pretty. i don't want to give it away. nobody buys it in a month it goes home with me.
― scott seward, Monday, 25 April 2011 20:54 (thirteen years ago) link
Is $25 for Dr. John's "Babylon" reasonable? I know what Popsike says, dudes, I want the real world price!
― Namu Amida Bootsy (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 16 August 2011 08:52 (thirteen years ago) link
if it were a clean early pressing i might put 20 on it. but i'm cheap. 25 is fine. nice copies of his records aren't that easy to find.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 14:10 (thirteen years ago) link
well and that one especially is harder to find in general.
i think i usually price it about $20 too
― one dis leads to another (ian), Tuesday, 16 August 2011 14:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Thanks dudes. Asked my boss and he doesn't recall seeing a copy recently, so I might just do it. $25 seems so expensive! I'm cheap!
― Namu Amida Bootsy (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 17 August 2011 05:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Had a dude tell me he didn't know how to price something today because he couldn't find it on the internet. So back on the secret shelf it went.
Internet's really ruined record stores around here, like fantasy-land Amazon prices should have any bearing on reality.

i have a hard time going high, even if it's "what it's worth" by the current market.
glenn branca's ascension really worth 50-90? http://www.discogs.com/sell/history/154035

i sold one last summer on eBay: $20.77.
― nerve_pylon, Friday, 16 September 2011 12:14 (thirteen years ago) link
i usually sell it between 20-30.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Friday, 16 September 2011 15:32 (thirteen years ago) link
i tihnk $25 is kind of my standard price for a nice copy of that record.

Is $20 too much for John Hartford's 'Earthwords and Music' ?
― Stormy Davis, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
seems a little high. its the kind of thing you can find cheaper eventually if you dig long enough, but maybe you want one right now. its kinda hard to find really clean copies.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 16:48 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, that's kinda what I figured. I don't necessarily *need* it now, lord knows, but it's also one of things where it could take a couple of years of digging to find a cheap, decent copy
― Stormy Davis, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 17:02 (twelve years ago) link
I bought mine at standard used LP prices for that store, albeit 10 years ago.

i really fucking hate coming in after a few days off to find that [GUY @ WORK I HATE] has mis-priced a bunch of shit in my absence. This time it was gratuitously overpricing james bond soundtracks. ugh. makes me so mad.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 18:33 (twelve years ago) link
hit him with a stick.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 19:34 (twelve years ago) link
does this guy also do your Facebook page? because I remember seeing an "OMG all these James Bond soundtracks came in" post over the weekend, maybe he was just super enthusiastic
― dmr, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 20:01 (twelve years ago) link
he sometimes does facebook stuff yeah.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 22:43 (twelve years ago) link
Well, at least mispricing too high means you still have the records..
― Mark G, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 06:23 (twelve years ago) link
yes i'm sure a record store is happy they didn't sell some records
― like a sunrise (electricsound), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 06:46 (twelve years ago) link
Happier than selling them for quarter price, or something..

it's the lesser of two evils i guess. but i just don't like that someone else's mistakes reflect badly on me.

― Evan, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
The store I used to work at there was someone who had no knowledge of music and is just there for the job, basically priced everything to sell immediately on Amazon. So our actual visiting customers generally would have only the shitty records that went for way less online in stock, along with overpriced shit that we were forced to just about match prices with online and end up sitting on forever (until 6 month price adjustments). Drove me kind of crazy, since any good fresh used inventory that just came in would be 60% gone the next day due to amazon sales.
