I mean, inflation is one aspect but there are still plenty of small labels putting out high quality 2xLP's for around $20 to $25. I don't think inflation alone can determine the going rate for records.

I certainly agree and the lack of poly lined sleeves on these TMV records just hurts even more when you look at the price, so I'm really interested to see how much it will be without the shipping cost.

The original FTM was between $25 and $35  direct from the GSL website.

 

My bad then, I was going off on what someone said on stevehoffman forums and reddit also this photo I've found: https://imgur.com/a/SnpRFvk

But even then when you adjust for inflation $35 in 2005 today would be $47.47 today so maybe it evens out.

I could see $25 for 1xLP, $30 for 2xLP, and 35 for 3xLP.  That's the highest I could fathom doing this.

These prices are with DHL shipping included, so people just need to wait for the release day and buy it with cheaper shipping or from a retailer.

Also the original FTM  and Bedlam vinyl was $50 at release day so nothing new there.
