it curious about the prices asked by ePay sellers on OOP records (for instance Classic Records reissues) when many of these albums are still available from several online sources (Acoustic Sounds, Elusive Disc, Soundstage Direct, etc. for far less?
I've even seen instances of sellers asking double the normal/list price for current in print LPs. I once emailed a seller about this and they replied back it was a mistake. Sure!
buyers need to do their due dilligence. a seller was getting $60 for janis ians breaking silence the week it was re-released by chad and copies from acoustic sounds were still abundant at $30 a pop.
if you have patience some sealed OOP LP auctions with no reserve slip through below orig list price. the planets have to align and you might only get the chance once i great while.
Myles, you bring up a great point. I don't understand these ebay seller's at all. Plus, I also don't get the numerous seller's that try and get astronomical prices for other LP's...many of the MFSL's and M&K's come to mind. You see these same guys post over and over with no sale and yet they continue month after month to re-post??? I guess we are missing something here.
Not only that, I've seen records listed for say $39 not sell and then all of a sudden are relisted at $99? Guess what? Still hasn't sold at the higher price either.
Sure, but why go through all the hassle of re-posting and re-posting and paying all of the fees that go along with that. I suspect there is something else involved.

Exactly and before bidding on an item, make sure to check to see if Acoustic Sounds, themusic.com, Elusive Disc, Soundstage Direct, Music Direct, etc. still carry the album. Sometimes one is surprised and can save a lot of money! Sometimes, it works the other way and one can find a new item on ePay for less than the aforementioned retailers too.
"Penurie" means shortage. ...Very similar in English. ...Actually it means the same thing when used in the same context.
* Roughly 50% (I believe) that all words in English are the same in French, or very very similar, with one letter (or two) perhaps different, like here for example; penury vs penurie.
But that's too bad (sad) that some people are taking advantage of others financially.
But then, that's the story of our history. :b ...And in audio like everything else.
Just for interest, I wasn't meaning 'leverage' in the traditional capitalist sense of racking up substantial debt to fund something. And if I have such associates as you mention, then they must be keeping their affiliations to themselves

If they're listing auctions without Buy it Now, it is free to list. It is one of the reasons I've seen an increase in auctions with high starting prices for a lot of junk vinyl.

That's why it always pays to check Acoustic Sounds site first. I have made this error a few times in the past and paid way more than I needed too on ebay, when the same record was still available at the store.
