  1. This mindset is what ppl are talking about when they say prices for standard LPs are going up because ppl will pay them. OPs selling for stupid amounts of money don't justify gouging customers on a repress.

     

    It doesn't justify it, but there is also no way to know specifically if we are getting 'gouged'.  Being that it wasn't repressed by the original label (which has now closed up shop), it's hard to say what costs were involved in the licensing of the album.

     

    In terms of my mindset, I'm ok with it.  I don't really like paying 32$ for a 2xLP, unnecesarily marked up or otherwise.  But, I would also rather have the album on my shelf for that price than for $150.

     

    I would also have to say that this isn't the worst 'markup' that I've seen.  Modern Fidelity's $30 pressing of Weezer - Blue Album seems like a much better example (but once again this falls under the umbrella of not auctually knowing what licensing costs were).

  2. I think you've been more than reasonable about the whole thing.  It comes down to the fact that the item was described as being in mint condition and should show up that way, no matter what you paid.


    On the plus side, PayPal sides with the buyer almost everytime.  I haven't had a lot of issues of returning items, but I believe they covered the return cost also.  You'll most likely be out time and some frustration.

     

    Best of luck on this.
