^^ kinda hate anyone who has this much money to spend on a record

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Monday, 1 April 2013 15:40 (eleven years ago) link

of course i hate the person who collects CD longboxes too tbh

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Monday, 1 April 2013 15:41 (eleven years ago) link

that Spiritualized one up there is completely batshit. I remember seeing those in the Virgin Megastore sale years after the album came out

assume the PJ one is too but I can't actually visualise what a CD longbox looks like exactly so for all I know they might have made next to none of them

is the guy writing the Billy Nicholls blurb the same as skot's JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP I FUCKING HATE YOU guy? if not he might as well be

Longboxes weren't phased out for another couple of years, so the millions of people that bought Ten in 1991-92 in the US (because iirc, no other countries used longboxes) bought it in a longbox.

Endtimes indeed. That's the most baffling auction result I've ever seen, including, but not limited to, those auctions where people paid thousands for a potato that faintly resembled Richard Marx.

i see lots of japanese cd artwork that is longbox shape. is annoying when you have to fit it into square spaces.

that Billy Nicholls blurb made we wonder what Finley Quaye has been up to - wish i hadn't found out now :/

i just got an album in by a handless AND legless organist. so, mine must be worth double.

Gatefold 2xLP of Pearl Jam's No Code was selling close to $300 -- down a bit these days -- i should have sold mine when it was a hotter commodity.

i made money on those. bought a couple when they were dollar bin records in the 90's and never played them. sold them later in ebay days.

scott seward, Monday, 1 April 2013 19:44 (eleven years ago) link

yeah -- that was one of the very few albums i've ever purchased for the sole reason of resale -- never tempted to listen to it, i doubt i'd even play it with "your" turntable ;)

suspecterrain, Monday, 1 April 2013 19:48 (eleven years ago) link

cool package though! with the weird art cards and everything.

scott seward, Monday, 1 April 2013 19:49 (eleven years ago) link

i've noticed some of the opened ones are getting higher selling prices than sealed copies -- guessing buyers want visual proof that they'll get all that swag

suspecterrain, Monday, 1 April 2013 19:53 (eleven years ago) link

no code is the best pearl jam record.

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Tuesday, 2 April 2013 17:59 (eleven years ago) link

you would have to actually listen to every pearl jam album to make that determination though...

who are the jack white people? i just don't get it. what were they spending too much money on ten years ago?

los blue jeans, Sunday, 12 May 2013 14:18 (ten years ago) link

two weeks pass...

someone's hopeful (and most likely stupid)... it's well rare but $4000!

It's an OG Indian Pressing of the Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat LP

Stop the tape I got spittle all over my moustache. (Talcum Mucker), Monday, 27 May 2013 08:28 (ten years ago) link

Nice find.

I don’t think it’s that optimistic. In addition to the typical trainspotters, a lot of Euro superclub DJs hype it.

Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 27 May 2013 18:28 (ten years ago) link

The re-release can be got for £18 or so.

Shall see..

Mark G, Monday, 27 May 2013 20:20 (ten years ago) link

does seem crazy. they definitely missed a trick with not keeping the original artwork for the reissue though.

stirmonster, Monday, 27 May 2013 23:39 (ten years ago) link

heard data world on the radio yesterday

I'm still surprised at how much this one goes for:
http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?pagenum=1&searchtext=archie+whitewater&incldescr=&sortord=ddate&thumbs=&currsel=

I mean, even without the reissue a few years back, it seems like there were a lot of them out there.

Austin, Tuesday, 28 May 2013 03:41 (ten years ago) link

I had one of those, identical in every respect (including the 'near mint' quality'), except it had the usual orange lettering on the front, instead of turquoise.

It went for £250, which was nice, but blimey, what a difference a slight colour variation makes.

Hmm, 300 copies, and yet 163 have been sold on ebay!

(I know, they might well be the same copy in some cases, sold on (and on))

£66 wanted for a 90's cassette tape of Hissing of Summer Lawns

MaresNest, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 10:51 (ten years ago) link

Same seller also wants £66 for a Coldplay CD single that's on discogs for £2.

Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Tuesday, 11 June 2013 10:58 (ten years ago) link

.. or best offer..

Mark G, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 11:02 (ten years ago) link

Wow, that Zep album went for £2,000 in the end.

my father will guide me up the stairs to bed (anagram), Tuesday, 11 June 2013 13:09 (ten years ago) link

That's what I mean.. £250 for a perfect "orange lettering version", exactly the wsame as the turquoise letttering version in all other respects.

Mark G, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 13:11 (ten years ago) link

Dude this cassette guy is killing me!

Austin, Tuesday, 11 June 2013 13:26 (ten years ago) link

lol their most expensive tape is Then Jerico's first album for £98!

I don't get his selling rationale at-all, he has 17,000 odd items for sale!

Man, Morrissey/Smiths collectors are a breed apart.

sorry for the $400 reserve, but i don't really want to part with this set.

ha ha, yeah really, like, don't worry, dude, you won't have to.

Average price on Discogs is $133.88, with one recently going as low as $100

Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Monday, 22 July 2013 03:51 (ten years ago) link

Ha, weird I just saw that myself and I haven't really checked eBay in at least a month. Maybe 2 min of browsing. I've it that box-spent $60 on it.
