ajhall04 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 No Fucking Way. I'll sell mine right now! Don't do it! It was basically between two bidders! Even the plain old blue sells decent. Gotta keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that album. I wonder if the winner will even pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajhall04 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Haha I wasn't going to. I love that album. I wonder if the winner will even pay. Especially since they usually sell way under that price according to Popsike. But, when you want something, you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swisherprice Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Bought this earlier in the week at a buy it now price, and got it in the mail today. Not bad since it's been reaching up close to $200: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Copeland-You-are-My-Sunshine-2x-lp-/151220616124?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&_trkparms=ga1m%3DT5%26ga2m%3DT0%26ga3m%3DT3%26ga4m%3DT8&nma=true&si=ovl3TjfPptWyNjMS26iepfkIK7o%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've had three copies of You Are My Sunshine pass through my hands. Sold the first two for $50ish and $115, respectively. I cannot believe what people will pay for that. I have a sealed copy now and as bad as I want to open it, I know it'll probably never get repressed and I can just cash in later on. nothingnatural, kurt and mmhmm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedunknown Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Wow, how'd that go under the radar? If I found a copy that cheap, I'd buy it just to have a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here lose their minds if they think anyone is ever going to profit off anything, ever. Don't try to understand it. nothingnatural 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 People here lose their minds if they think anyone is ever going to profit off anything, ever. Don't try to understand it. I don't think it has anything to do with profiting. It's more about the fact that the dude has owned the same record on three separate occasions -- the last of which has resulted in a copy that he's not even going to open or play. He's holding onto the album solely to flip it... and it's an album that he's clearly not all that crazy about to begin with. That is what's being frowned upon, more or less. For clarification, I didn't neg his post. Just providing a little insight. rynflnnry and WereAllDudesHey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet no one goes "Oh my gawd this grocery store bought all this food without the intention of eating it?!?! They bought all this food for the sole purpose of selling it for a profit? WTF?!?!" It's a dumb and useless thing to get angry about. Bitching about flippers isn't suddenly going to make the principles of supply and demand no longer apply to the medium. plasma36, beta114, kurt and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a dumb and useless thing to get angry about. Bitching about flippers isn't suddenly going to make the principles of supply and demand no longer apply to the medium. Frankly, I think the hypothetical situation is a little different. The grocery store in this situation is the record label ("Oh my god this label bought some plastic for a dollar and they pressed some grooves on it and now they're selling it for $25??? wtf!!!") The situation of flipping is much different... Imagine someone went into your grocery store, and bought all the bananas for $1 each. Then they set up a little stand right outside the grocery store, and sold the same bananas for $5 a piece (ebay). Then you are like "Forget this shit! I'll go to the other grocery store." But, when you get there, you find that all of THEIR bananas are gone too, and there's a guy outside THEIR store selling bananas for $3 each (discogs). There's one more grocery store in a 50 mile radius and you go there and there's another guy selling bananas for $2 each outside (VC or other niche forums). Eventually you say fuck it, and pay the higher price. You either want bananas or you don't. But, it's the people buying the bananas in order to make their own profit (flippers) on top of the grocery store's own profits (record labels) that cause the price to go from $1 to $5. dandw12786, Derek™, ratbrain and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
