PO Now: Gorillaz - Humanz (Also the 'OG' Discussion Thread)


Recommended Posts

I don't normally drop that kinda cash on stuff, BUT considering what a great package you get for your money and how limited it was I hardly hesitated to buy it. While I didn't buy it to flip by any means there is a reassurance when you buy something you know will hold it's value (and then some) if I ever need the money.

How limited is it?  Seems like they keep putting up more each time it sells out.

What reassurance do you have that it will hold or increase in value?  Flipping is a big gamble! (trust me) Nothing is guaranteed.

Well like I said I didn't buy it to flip only that the option to make my money back is there.

The potential to make your money back, it ain't guaranteed.

I got the signed one... that was roughly out of 200... Of course it will. 

Unless they are numbered  or it comes with a certificate (which isn't mentioned), autographed ones shouldn't hold much of a premium over unsigned ones.  In theory they do, but in practice if the price is much different people will either forge signatures or go out and get signatures on theirs to make the value higher, which in turns brings the value of all down (most of the time.)

I would listen to him  https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/9693985?ev=rb flipping doesn't always work out

Gorillaz + limited (regardless of quantity, really) = not guaranteed, but close to it.

Unless the album turns out to be absolutely horrible, which I'm guessing would result in more than a few cancellations.

^ Just look at Demon Days, Standard release $20 album that's worth 10x that now (well we'll see about that with the reissue)

*Compares the Fan's of whoever that band is to Gorillaz fans
If you guys want to see a somewhat comparable release there's this somewhat similar PSB release  https://www.discogs.com/Pet-Shop-Boys-Electric/release/5201665 or this one https://www.discogs.com/Pet-Shop-Boys-Yes/release/1795452

Because I'm sure they're handling this release the same in 2017 in the middle of the vinyl craze as they did 12 years ago.

Only glaring difference with those is that they are hand-numbered, and to my knowledge the Gorillaz boxset isn't (aside from the autographed ones being signed of course) which does make a difference as far as the collector's value.

Yeah that's hand numbered and signed by the band and limited to 350 copies.

This isn't numbered, clearly has a run much larger than 350 (at least 1,000), isn't signed by the band (just the artist)

Most importantly the PSB now sells for less than it's original cost!  Original release price 500 Pounds, most recent sale was for 480 pounds (http://collectorsfrenzy.com/details/162385373769/Pet_Shop_Boys__Electric__Box_Set_Vinyl_Lp_Record )

Not a big price dip, but an odd choice when trying to prove that the price will for sure go up.
