_emileelouise Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 harryq: I dont think you understand. I dont think people should intentionally sell records for a jacked price. People are always willing to pay a high price for what they want if they want it bad enough, but its a little messed up to take advantage of that. Ingenious from a business prospective. dethrock: I figured a lot out the first few days i was on this site. doesnt make it any better. The point of what I was saying is getting misunderstood. but its all good. gutz: I'm 20 so i'm not really worried about easter baskets, nor am i religious. But Happy Easter!

icecream Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 It seems now more than ever if you can hold out likely there will be a re-press. People are impatient I feel like if I could witness some of some of these ebayers they'd be pissed off running into each other, drooling with bundles of cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gutzonborglum Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I was in the middle of some sort of response and started to shake my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryq Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I was in the middle of some sort of response and started to shake my head. I was typing a ~long response, and then I saw this and decided to delete it. as for the OP, this says one of those MCR records sold for $335 and this says $300. I don't know how else to judge the value of a record, but if I had that record, I'd seriously consider selling it (especially since I don't really like MCR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebdeath Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Shouldn't we all be watching 'The Ten Commandments' right now and worrying about where our Easter baskets will be hiding in the morning? Apparently I'm the only Catholic here. . . how was your easter saturday mass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Emilee, as I'm sure you have figured out by now, you will get plenty of snarky and cynical and "rude" comments whenever someone with a low post count starts a new thread and discussions around here. There are a few assholes, myself included at times, that jump on stuff like that like sharks smelling blood on the water. Don't take it personally. It's just VC's immature and juvenile way of saying HELLO!!! As for an actual comment on your concerns of this occurrence, it happens plenty. Been going on for years and will not let up. Way too many people, whether new "collectors" or even jaded and old ones, will place too much value on a record and dump it on eBay in the hope that it will snare and sucker someone in for that asinine high price. It goes hand in hand with the flipping argument and that is yet another dead horse need not be beaten. Although I am sure it will as it always does around here. So yeah...HELLOOOOOO!!!!

thebiglebowski Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This happened less when there were fixed costs for putting something up on ebay. Now people can just price it at twice what it commonly goes for with the option to make an offer and just say "what the fuck, I have nothing to lose". I'm guessing some of these "stores" also have automated programs that relist things immediately when they do not sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRareCreature Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Some people here actually buy records at those crazy prices...you can "steal" an ebay sale $20-40 cheaper than what is the common price on rare occasions...sometimes these people want to capitalize on that by flipping the record for a quick buck. _emileelouise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I was 20 again and had the time to worry about nonsense things Should I start a thread talking about this? I mean this a record website so I decided to talk about a record related issue. I could argue about such things as rape and murder and death penalties, because those surely bounce around in my head. Don't judge someone based on their age. and dont judge how heavily they think about different topics when you dont know them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerofjoy605 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 You buy one marked up to $100 and feel cheated and mad that people would mark it up that much. You sell one marked up for $100 and you're happy someone would spend that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda disagree here. ppl with major post counts generally get more valid responses. unless that person has a history of copping shit everytime they post. gang mentality is very childish.
