Crazy Priced Vinyl On EBAY

kinda tough call still, i always hate playing that guessing game

The first Beach House LP has just been remastered and re-pressed: http://www.heartbreakbeatrecords.com/mailorder.htm

This version is on black vinyl, so yours should hold some value. But still, now seems like the time to flip it.

Please bid on this, thanks!

Not vinyl; rather, a T-shirt. A yellowed, Beatles butcher cover shirt. For $10,000.00

WTF? I'm pretty positive this isn't original Capitol Records promo swag or anything, so what about it could justify the price?

This guy's been trying to sell MX-80 Sound's three vinyl LPs for $199.99 apiece for several months now, even as more sanely priced editions of same have sold or gone unbidded-upon. I swear, it's as if the guy knows I exist and thinks I'm incredibly rich and/or incredibly stupid. Right, wrong, and wrong.

one thing I'm never sure of is what's the rarest CD in the world?

this is up there

xpost The Safety Ep by Coldplay usually goes for £500-1000 on ebay, there's one up at the moment http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110543101688 so you can see what it goes for.

There was an Adam Ant CD single on EMI which went for a grand at least.

I've seen a CD recently on Amazon (can't remember what title) up for $2,000 from an independent seller. I think it was a decimal place error though. Not sure.

Found the details:

Beautiful Dreamer - Adam Ant - Notes:
The single that got away! Its planned release was abandoned after poor sales of Wonderful. 4,000 copies were initially pressed of each CD single. All were destroyed...well almost all. Only 7 copies of CD1 are believed to exist as a result of them being sent out as promo copies after the radio promo CD supplies were depleted. They were recalled, and not all made it back. Only TWO copies of CD 2 are known to exist. The second of which turned up on eBay and was sold with a winning bid of £2120

Looking at the "Completed Listings" search is a fun way of finding crazy music that actually sold. This is the highest priced CD sold in the last 3 months (I think it goes back 3 months)

£1500 for a Susan Boyle CD!

Yeah, cry me a river.

wow

uh, yeah.

a 1968 single that beats anything else they released by about three years (and beats their first album by five years!). and it's pretty damn good, too.

^ good record but shouldn't cost you more than $10, ever.

Are these dudes thinking 70s vinyl + white label + promo sticker = expensive artifact? Cause I have record shelves FULL of them I would sell to them at 1/10 the price.

Like, I know from years of reading Goldmine and seeing "WLP" like some badge of honor, but are there collectors that care about that anymore?

that madrigal record is a trip and a half. those guys were well ahead of their time. 'stoned freakout' is definitely one of the few tracks that totally lives up to its title

an acquaintance of mine told me the other day i should check that place out. what's their deal

they sell ridiculously overpriced trashed crap on ebay, don't know if the same applies to their store

yeah i'm wondering about the store

browsed their website for pretty everyday records that i own and still have the price stickers on 'em. 3 to 5 times what i paid for the stuff at Cheapo and wherever. dumb.

no sorry it's more like 2-3 and in a couple cases 4X but like still.

holy crap that madrigal record went for $5100
