    Just buy the black one when it comes out in June.

     

    Geez, when did records start costing $100 each? 🤪

    I might end up doing that if I can't get my hands on a copy that is already out there!  I want to get all of Billie's discography and I started far too late.  There's so many limited items that I am doubtful I will ever have a chance to get.  Insanity.

  2. Just gotta find the right person. I purchased a copy of the fire + a copy of The OG FDOD in late ‘19 and spent under $200 total. If people are willing to pay $400 or $500 for the records, it will lead to sellers using those prices as the benchmark. In reality, I was consistently seeing the Fire go for $100-$150 in 2018-2019, and now all of a sudden it seems like there’s this giant uptick? Seems weird.

  3. I just got home from the record store after buying the Pain 7”, Salt Sweat Sugar, and Big Casino. I realized... I am just getting started with their discography aside from the LP’s.

    I have all of their records but none of their 10” or 7” records aside from Stay On My Side Tonight.

     

    There’s a lot of stuff available on discogs/eBay but they’re all scattered through different sellers. So, I’m mainly looking to buy multiple at once to avoid many different $5 shipping charges. Let me know if you have any for sale!

    I sold mine for $90 on April 27th. Didn't take long, but I have seen some linger. Glad I cashed in.

     

    Definitely agree.

    That’s really impressive. I literally watched as one sat on discogs for I think $70 for what felt like a really long time. Then, I saw one on a merch blog selling for $55 shipped which I wanted to pull the trigger on but held back. It doesn’t surprise me that it sold for more, but I think sometimes I feel for the buyers who don’t look hard enough.

     

    i’d be Interested in hearing some more of your sales. You had a damn good list of uncommon stuff!

  5. If they are legitimately being honest about the prices being so expensive, it kind of is a testament to their inexperience.  I have seen people online dangling the first press of popaganda at prices not much higher than $50, and it's not selling quick.  I think if the price dropped down to $30 for both, with a bundle of the two selling for like $50, I'm sure they would sell at least... decently well.

    STILL, I view this as an extremely niche market.  Head Automatica wasn't a gigantic name at their peak, and you're asking for $50 for the album that doesn't have their biggest song on it.  I know anything Darryl is associated with is pretty much guaranteed to get sales, but yeah, I'd be interested in Popaganda at $30.  I've been tempted to message people recently selling the first press, offering $40, but I probably wouldn't pay more than that.

    Add me into the list of people who paid less than $15 for Decadence years ago.

     

    I remember a couple years back when that one guy came in here with Hidden in Plain View's "Life In Dreaming" and had to actively try to defend his price tag on it... it was like $20-25 range.  This is actually an insane pricetag for those two albums.

    can't tell if you're actually being serious or not but how the hell is that awesome
    dude should have put that price to begin with instead of beating around the bush like a child 

    I would imagine it’s because he wanted more than what he told me his low end was, but he realized I was serious about it when I offered what I offered to him, and he respected that. I don’t mind people asking for offers- it used to bug me like crazy, but I’ve done it a few times and once was offered double the price I would have put the record up for sale at in the first place. At this point, discogs medians can typically price your records for you anyway.

  7. I messaged someone recently on here about records. I sent an offer that was competitive in the sense that if he really wanted money he could have accepted it, and he responded saying that he’d probably sell for nothing less than x different price. I thought it was really bold and awesome of him to tell me straight up that he would prefer this other amount. Ultimately, my offer was also my “max bid” and we didn’t strike a deal.  Still, I look back and think that it was awesome he was pretty straight up with what he wanted. In this circumstance, hearing a number coming back my way from the seller would have been beneficial because I’d at least know what you’re looking for. Sure, $130 mag not be enough to get a sale, but what about $145? Maybe the buyer was willing to pay that? What if the buyer was down to pay that $160 because at least it’s the 3 records the buyer wants all shipped together rather than adding $12-15 extra on shipping? Who knows

  8. If anyone reading this has a copy of American candy at a decent price I’m in the market as well. 

     

    I saw someone on a fb merch board post post a bunch of her stuff for sale, pioneer was on there, but it was hella expensive - although I’m sure just in general it is pretty expensive
