onwardempire Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 So my white whale finally arrived! 2 years of searching and I luckily managed to grab it. Couldn't wait so I got my gf to send me pics at work. I normally check any discogs emails I get, mostly its the same stuff from my wantlist that I intend to get around to buying. One email came through literally while I was setting the alarm on my phone to go to sleep at shortly before 1am. Then I noticed this right at the bottom, panicked, went to discogs and bought it straight away. Bearing in mind it had last been sold in December 2013 I imagine it would have went by the morning had I not checked. The beautiful kicker, was that I got it for £20, so what like $32? For something I probably would've paid serious money for had it come up earlier. I feel like I have won the lottery. On to the next whale! jtcohenour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The 13th Floor Elevators - "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators" - (1966/first pressing/stereo)So a dude locally found this for $20. I have a bunch of NOLA soul/funk 45's that I got for free. I've been selling them and I've made $200 from it. I paid $200 for this because it's VG++. But I pretty much got it free because I just transferred the funds to him in paypal. Either way, never thought I would own one.

onwardempire Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Currently mine are both Athletics albums: Why aren't I Home and Who You Are is Not Enough. I've yet to see them on the secondary market. Quick discogs, both had several sales at the tail end of 2014, with the Ultra Clear w/ Black & White Splatter copy of Why Aren't I Home being sold as recent as Jan 2015. Get your alerts set and I'm sure you'll be able to grab one soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pnumekin Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Another white whale for me : Reunion/Deluge, by 36. An EP ltd to 100 copies, quickly sold out. The only copy I ever saw on the aftermarket (2011-2012) was on ebay, I won it back then... then the guy got it robbed on his way to post it.

tvham Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Two albums that pop up from time to time that I'd love to have: I haven't seen Dulcinea recently under $300 and haven't seen a clean copy of Misadventures of Saint Etienne in some time (and even then, those are running $100+ as it was a Japan only release) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Right now my white whale records are Ted Leo's Shake the Sheets and Tyranny of Distance that aren't going for 200% the Discogs median price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Crosley Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Right now my white whale records are Ted Leo's Shake the Sheets and Tyranny of Distance that aren't going for 200% the Discogs median price. For real. I've been looking for these at normal prices too. I feel like a year ago you could get them for around $20 and then suddenly you couldn't...
