monstercody Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 3500?is this a serious thread? the last couple only went for around 1200-1700 on ebay. Yeah, four years ago. http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=chung+king&thumbs= Records doubling in price over that time period is consistent across genres. This was a private sale that STARTED with two bids at $3000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivals Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 its strange to think that the early rev releases are getting put into the same bracket as the original dischord and touch and go records. Yeah, I agree but at the same time it's not all that surprising I don't think. A lot of people consider those Rev releases to be classics, and just as you said the kids who were into it and what not are growing up and getting money so they are willing to drop more.

destroyingthescene Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 That's a pretty insane price for a record, but if you have the money for it then who cares. But yes, congrats on the buy and being a part of hardcore folklore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjeremyx Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Congrats on the score man!! I own Chung king #58, got it from a belgian friend when i went to visit him last summer, he had 3 chung kings at some point (still has 2) and just gave me one when i was at his place for a night. I did send him a Nirvana - love buzz 7" to make it up for the trade. Awesome dude!! Thanks a ton Seb!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Spending $3500 on an engagement ring was hard for me to swallow (I'm a tightwad). haha. Just messing with you. I didn't even buy my wife an engagement ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salparadise Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 one of my good friends has one of these, because he's old as dirt. i intend on buying all of his records in bulk from him, cause he has insane shit. i played a set with porcell once, that experience, at 18 years old, was probably one of the coolest moments of my life. congratulations on having way more balls than anyone on this board.

ericxthexred Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 you played in a project X cover set with procell singing, then walked off stage and smoked... i still dont know why you didnt get firestormed for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedupx Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Congrats man! I felt the same way when I got mine, but trust me, once you get it and it sinks in that you actually own it, you will not care anymore about how much you paid Welcome to the CK family!

You know, it wasn't more than a month ago that I tried to get one of Sebastiaan's Chung King's off him around the same time he was selling that insane Uniform Chioce set. That was when I found out that you pretty much had to come over the top with a price to peel one away from one of the few that hold them! An original Love Buzz is a good trade for a Chung. I have seen one go for $4000 once. Anyway thanks for the kind words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstercody Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 I forked over an extra 80 euros to have it tracked, insured out the ass, and have it within 5 business days. I also instructed the seller step by step on how to package it up. and yes, I am freaking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstercody Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 I will post pictures when I get it, no problem. I have been tracking the Chung King and it has made it overseas and into Canada, cleared customs today in Montreal, and is on its way by Expresspost to Calgary. I am pretty relieved to this point.
