Crazy Priced Vinyl On EBAY

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)

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

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.

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...
