This supply and demand thing for records is pretty dangerous, and the prices are getting out of hand. Doesn't matter if there's a premium on the record due to shipping from Finland or the Netherlands, or licensing rights, if distributors see that we're willing to pay $40, 50, 60 for a vinyl record, what's to stop them from raising the price that high for new/U.S. based pressings? We're already seeing it with the new $30 reissues SRC is putting out. I'm pledging at this point, i'm not paying more than $25(shipped) for an album. I don't HAVE TO have ANYTHING at a cost more than that, which will fill up 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch on a shelf. This includes buying used on eBay. People are taking advantage at the high prices people are paying. It's nuts out there. No more, not for me. I don't care if it was shipping from the moon in special space packaging, i'm not paying >$20 for an album.

So recently I've noticed a lot of people selling their collections. If not whole collections they are putting LP's from recently broken up bands on ebay. For example, people putting up MCR LP's for close to 300 dollars. I'm pretty sure none of those records are even remotely close to worth that price. Not to mention they are selling it on ebay and advertising it on VC. And instead of selling it to a good VC member they just redirect them to a jacked ebay price. Does that piss anyone off? It bothers the hell out of me. Do you put behavior like this in the flipping category? just want to hear some opinions.
