Crazy Priced Vinyl On EBAY

^ 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

these douches just opened a brick and mortar store in mpls

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

buying a sealed record for that much seems crazy to me. what if its warped?

He/she (OK, he) will never listen to it so that's irrelevant.

yeah i'm wondering about the store

sorry i was late on this but the store is even worse than they are on ebay...it seems like it's basically just a way for them to clear out all the garbage vinyl they acquire when they buy out collections and estate sales...so they ebay the valuable stuff...then put out all the beat up shit and charge like $6 for dollar bin shit....

so yeah i guess if you want to spend like $5 on a beat to shit Tommy Bolin record that doesn't even have a sleeve it's the place to go

^^ the worst kind of record store

Ha ha. Was considering visiting this place last time I was in mpls, but was way turned off by their $$$ vibe. Thankfully there's way better record stores there - Hymies for one.

yeah hymies is nice, total old school weirdo joint

i really love roadrunner for value, smaller but really well curated and always a lot of turnover and new shit...

JP Morgan employees have kids too :D

this guy should literally be set on fire

that listing is bonkers. what a loon.

Aw man, I'm laughing too hard to wish him any ill will!

and I add: Hey, fair play to you, dude.

Am I nuts, or is this excessive?

(Especially when he's got 6 available. Really?!)

excessive

http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=610122&ev=rb

is that something that people want really badly? i don't even know. i had that book that they used for that cover. i think someone actually bought it because of the album cover. should have priced it higher i guess.

x-post

well there you go.

Yeah, Oneida had at least a box of these last time they toured the UK.

that's a $6 record.

taking bets on what this will end at:

SOLO AVANT GARDE DRONE LONG BEARDS OOP YOU NEED THIS

Question & Answer
Q: "you write: You should buy this even though you probably don't deserve it. It will give you something to aspire to in life. And might actually make you a better person." I assume you means th3 potential buyer is a complete and utter duffer because actually the well-tuned piano is rather dull and tedious. it only retains its mystique by being almost totally unavailable. listen to it! give me charlemagne palestine anyday.
A: I have listened! Not to this copy. To another copy. On top of a mountain that was haunted by the ghosts of Ichabod Crane and Pat Metheny. The wind howled and the wine flowed. I learned how to pray that day... But, yeah, Palestine is a major block rocker. No doubt about it.

i'd say it will end between $240-275, but if a bidding war starts, who knows.
i forget what i paid for mine. i traded a rare john cage LP on dial and like $20 or something.

i'm gonna say upwards of $400 -- popsike has them going for more than that, even recently.

This guy's pushing his luck with Peter Brötzmann vinyl:

I mean I want them but not that much.

that piano must be really well tuned.

yowza! nice work scott!
did that classical collection have any luc ferrari in it by any chance?

Copies of this ep sold recently for 10 and 13 bucks. (This isn't even the hand-colored edition.)

Two bids!

Well, "Path through the forest" is alongside "My father's name was dad" The Fire and The Flies' "Not your stepping stone" in the list of highly valuable psych singles. (Although that's a heck of a bid-up!)

That other "One in a million" one I don't know, but also: whew!

nice little collection

fredereek hernando >>>>> path through the forest. worth every cent imo

Yeah One in a Million were awesome. Their song "No Smokes" is crazy, kind of a freakbeat/psych precursor to Clark Hutchinson's stuff like "Free to Be Stoned" or "Death, the Lover." Um, vocally, mostly.
