Interesting, Myles. But not Big Bucks compared to this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hank-Mobley...ic_on_Vinyl&hash=item43b2972309#ht_500wt_1182
and this is the real shocker: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SAMSUNG...ell_Phones&hash=item589428e41c#ht_8899wt_1017
Happened to see this on the same page and my jaw fell to the floor! Must have been because it was pink,LOL.
DG Bluenotes go for bongo bucks. The opening bid was a mere one grand! Bet it went overseas too!

This Sheffield release on LP in the late 80s has suddenly gone up the last few months. And it's not even a direct to disc but from 2 track tape. She may be the most popular singer from Sheffield since Amanda McBroom. Her hit single is still being played on our airwaves to this day.

They can have my copy for $400. Terrible recording. And IIRC, it's not D2D.
Why would anyone pay that kind of money for an LP , any LP ..... !!!!!

I can find many reasons why someone can pay a lot of money for a rare mint LP -but why paying hundreds for a CD? Aren't the bits all the same? Why should you pay up to ten times the price of the open package just because it is a sealed CD?

People who buy the MFSL of Sticky Fingers are going to be disappointed. It sucks. It sucks real bad.

Micro, whenever you look on ebay, there are always a bunch of jokers who are asking stupid prices for some MFSL piece or other. None of these pieces ever sells! I have to believe that the only reason these fools are doing this and presumably paying all of those ebay insertion fees, is some sort of advertising gimmick; or perhaps on the one chance in a thousand that some poor unsuspecting chap will fall prey.
Otherwise, I really don't get it.
Well, one reason is that its price always goes up. I sold 2 copies of the Sheffield LP 7 years ago for $30 each. Now, $400.
Unfortunately this kind of mentality is what's killing audio, audiophiles are their own worst enemy , not going to pay 400 for a used semi worn LP, prefer to spend on multiple new titles from new artist's attempting to keep the music alive ...
Time to let it go ...
