Crazy Priced Vinyl On EBAY

would love to know if there is anyone out there that actually pays those ridiculous prices

gonna assume it's the same deal with this...

...since i just scored a still sealed copy for the equivalent of 7 or so pounds

"Just might appeal to fans of The Fuggs,Stooges,Sonic Youth and Geordie."

so was trying to track down a vinyl copy of Into the Unknown by Bad Religion...couldn't find anything less than about $150-200...so I saw somewhere it had been reissued as part of a vinyl box set of the Bad Religion catalog and found this on Amazon:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004EC5IY8/ref=sr_1_1_twi_lp__1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1468252709&sr=8-1&keywords=into+the+unknown+bad+religion

like at a certain point...this is a box of fucking Bad Religion records!! how much could that possibly mean to you, how often would you listen to this?, also this is all available on spotify or itunes or youtube or whatever, and I'm a vinyl guy but like are you gonna get into the deep audiophile sonics of an 80s punk record that much???

fucking crazy

i don't know, Bad Religion were HUGE in southern california in the 90s when I went to high school ... and a lot of their fans from back then probably own car dealerships in orange county now, so they've got dollars to burn.

just saw this one -- $16,000:

The rarest - and most sought after - of all Bob Dylan albums.

That's right - this is the 1A matrix pressing which plays the four tracks that were withdrawn. It is NOT the Canadian pressing or timing strip issue which list the deleted tracks but play the standard cuts. The labels and cover here show the replacement tracks - which is consistent with the few other mono copies that have turned up over the past fifty years. However, check the picture which shows the vinyl for Side 1: the middle track is "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall", and you should be able to see it is the widest band, since it is

discogs sellers are asking between £380 and £400 for that Bad Religion box, which is still like twentysomething quid per LP but there's an affluent grownup punk market for it yeah

You guys, when you see prices like that on Amazon it's usually the result of an auto pricing program that resellers use to keep their online marketplace items relevant to current demand without them having to manually re-upload listings. When this happens it's often some sort of silly error or result of a listing that has no comparison, thereby generating a really high wonky price.

I used to work for a store that used one. Listings would increase or decrease by certain percentages to remain competitive as demand fluctuates. I didn't work with it directly so I'm not sure exactly what neglected settings make this kind of thing happen so often specifically.

Honestly in the post Shuga world anything is possible IMO, like here's a 60 second Ford Station Wagon commercial from the 50s read by some dude from the show Wagon Train, a little more than the Bad Religion box but can you really put a price on something so rare and precious??

also listed it for even more on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-MOTORS-WARD-BOND-station-wagon-transcription-LP-VG-1959-Acetate-USA-CBS-/351077069094

god that guy is such a scumbag

On Amazon though you'll see that happen quite often and for much sillier items at much sillier prices. It's certainly possible that it's a shuga records style nutjob just unlikely when on Amazon (unless there were some way to show that statistically I've got it completely backwards. Always possible)

yeah i'm not doubting what you say also happens but inflated price are so nuts now on some stuff it's hard to guage what anything is "worth" anymore

it's just really hard for me to go over 30/40 bucks and that better be something that's in really nice shape that's hard to find and i really love the music

recently i sold a bootleg record for way too much on eBay (even though i clearly/prominently described it as an unofficial release), and i felt a little bit guilty. but i guess if somebody wants to give me money i'm gonna take it.

Things are only worth what people are willing to pay. That's why I sort by sold and hope there's enough relatively recent data to get a reliable sense of demand.

popsike sez this may not be overpriced, but still o_O

golden era original uk pressings of unaccompanied violin stuff always goes for heaps of money e.g. these johanna martzy records from the 50s:

http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?pagenum=1&searchtext=johanna+martzy&incldescr=&sortord=dprice&thumbs=&currsel=&endfrom=&endthru=&ipp=&sdc=

or this other leonid kogan (you can pick up the CFP reissue of this for 50p btw, it sounds great):

http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?pagenum=1&searchtext=sax+2386&incldescr=&sortord=dprice&thumbs=&currsel=&endfrom=&endthru=&ipp=&sdc=

yikes at those prices! have never looked into the high end classical market... is that down to rarity value or are those pressings really that much better?

Those really fringe classical collectors are pretty sycophantic.

7000 euros for a Peruvian pressing of "The Wall" anyone? https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/519903144

I came across it as this one in my wants list is also crazily priced - https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/2574353?ev=rb

oops. sorry, meant to post this on discogs thread. apologies!

how about $20k for an 'orange' white album that was clearly a dye or marker job?

Lol, I just won a record from that guy yesterday.

Same album was on a diff thread on here today

Why would anyone go through the process of printing a boot cover, pay the extra expense to emboss the cover, only to put legit records inside — doesn’t make sense.

lol this guy cannot be serious

The records themselves are fairly marginal. Of course that really doesn’t matter, since you can easily replace them.

the records are marked VG-. $10 says this is a beat up copy of the White Album spray painted orange

Just going on all information from anywhere on the internet that I can see, plus the information from my Beatles experts, it seems pretty likely that this will be your only chance to own this, as it’s the only copy anyone has ever heard of.

Only the front, of a sleeve that is made from one piece of card?

Its not coloured by marker pens, or someone's paint brush.

Its a spray paint job, then.

look at the clues guys. orange is a pun on apple; orinj is also an anagram of ringo. it's likely that this unique copy was pressed especially for him and if you can buy it for less than $3m, it's a steal

if that sells I can guarantee I'll be painting all my copies of the white album and selling them for a mere $10k a piece

longboxes have really kicked up in value

I mean, a guy from Manowar was in this band (not among the signers, btw), but cmon

It's been in my "Want" page for aeons, it just never comes up for sale.

I did get the "Fuzzy Warbles" box back whenever, for a daft price (literally had to re-contact the seller to ask "This is all the CDs? Not an empty box or "contains 2" type thing?" but it was.)

But seeing as how I have all the music from the box (actually, both orig albums and the new CD sets), it dunt matter.

4k for a knackered Jethro Tull promo poster.

Very Rare Misprint LP Two Side 3's - Communicate * [LP] by Sasha + John Digweed
Pre-Owned

$20,000.00 or Best Offer+$44.19 shipping

WILL REFUND 125% if returned with proof that item is not authentic...(VERY RARE; POSSIBLY ONE OF A KIND) Great investment opportunity This is hands down, one of my most prized possessions and may very well be priceless. If you were in the House/Trance scene back in the day, then you'd remember how hot and heavy the dance floor would get whenever the DJ dropped Trisco. This LP has two side 3's instead of the side 3 and side 4 that should be there. I didn't list this as a new item only because I have removed the record from it's sleeve, but it has never been played. The sleeve has very little wear due to sitting on the shelf but is in extremely good condition. Because I have never played the album, I cannot say wether or not the label is a misprint or if it's the label and the actual record as well.

Cheers and happy bidding!

A must have for any record collection.

dude you sent me skunk digweed

If you were in the House/Trance scene back in the day,

signs that i'm out of element, number 48634896.

Because I have never played the album, I cannot say wether or not the label is a misprint or if it's the label and the actual record as well.

this is insanely lazy and funny because you could easily check any notes in the middle actually pressed on the record, or eyeball the number of and length of tracks on both sides and see if they match

groan

it's a must have for any record collection

ian how many times has someone tried to pull off something like this to you at the record store

hmmmmmm.... not things exactly like this, but people very often have an overinflated of what their beat up beatles records are worth.

LOLs.

You do see people asking about stuff like this on the webs; it's got the wrong label stuck on one side is it worth loads? Unless it's a fucking Quarrymen acetate, probably not mate.

I once had in my possession a copy of The Fountainhead (yeah, I decided to hate read it) and there was a 50 page segment in the middle that was just the previous 50 pages repeated.

I guess I should have held on to it as a highly sought-after collectible but I was mostly pissed that if I wanted to continue punishing my brain by reading Ayn Rand I’d need to find another copy so I threw it in the recycling bin

hmmmmmm.... not things exactly like this, but people very often have an overinflated of what their beat up beatles records are worth.

haha, this was an observation from a friend who worked in a record store. people incredulous that a beatles record in good condition isn't that rare a thing, feeling like they're being bullshitted
