I saw a similar price for the Royal Ballet cd a month or two ago.

Really. I just bought the Classic 45 RPM out of print sealed LP box of this album which I would have thought would have been way more valuable than a CD. Maybe the guy is dreaming?

There are already 9 bids on this CD. Unless he has some shill bidding going on, he might just get what he wants for it. If he does, you may see more coming out of the woodwork. If you are lucky, you may see one go up with no reserve. If nobody bids on that one, you may end up getting it for considerably less. You may not see another unopened one though.

ROTFLMAO!

I'd want whatever that guy's smoking. OTOH, it's ePay and anyone can ask whatever they want and if some idiot will pay it.....

Man have to see if I have a sealed copy.

 

[Steve Williams]

I have an unsealed copy

Starting bid was $9. It is the bidders not the seller. In fact I have spent thousands with this particular seller for many Classic Records test pressings.

Maybe it's worth $400?

I wonder if it is the same guy I bought the sealed LP version of this CD from? I sure feel better about the price I paid for the LP.

I have too but I'm more of a bottom feeder [and now that TheMusic.com has been sold, the same records are now being sold on ePay.]

 

[NorthStar]

I'd like to hear a bit-for-bit copy of it. ...Is there a way?

You mean auctioned. The Music has auctions going on, not buy now.

Yes, my mistake

What I was really getting at is they didn't transfer these LPs to High Fidelity LP but kept them themselves and now auction them off on ePay.

 

[DaveyF]

Just closed at $990-....

I don't get it, one can buy the mint original shaded dog in a 1s1s pressing for a lot less! I sure know which I would rather have.

Imagine that. Bidding wars for out of print CDs has begun.

It's been going on for a while...especially the original Mofi gold cd's. These classic records, "Classical Releases" must sound pretty good...for CD. I have this on single sided Clarity 45 rpm.

Man I have to go through my storeroom! Now how much is that AF-1?

 

[mep]

I still haven't opened my sealed 45 RPM one-sided four LP version. I will sell it for $2K though.

 

[jadis]

for those who missed the first auction. from another seller, almost the same price point.

good thing i have the vinyl. a re-issue and sounds very good.

the age of the high priced cd has come.

 

[garylkoh]

Really???

I have an original and the Classic reissue, and while the sound is impressive, I didn't think that the performance was particularly outstanding. Is there a reason for the high price?

Is this a rare case of digital being better than analog?

Nevermind - forget I asked that.

 

[puroagave]

many people don’t do analog and are 100% digital which is part of the reason for the high prices, that and they pressed so few of them. i bought a few dozen of the reissued Classic gold CDs of the living stereo and Decca catalog back in the day (i don’t have 2449). i saw what they're worth now and they'll all go on epay to fund new vinyl - who said CDs aren’t recyclable!

btw, last week i was at hobson's store in LA and picked up a sealed clarity 45 rpm box of LSC 2449 for 150 bones.
