nevelsaynevels Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Mine would be Hot Fuss by the Killers, my local Hot Topic had one of the T-Shirt packages for the longer time to the point where it was on clearance for less than $15 at one point. Regret never picking it up. That's the copy i have, I worked at hot topic when they just started getting into vinyl so I was lucky enough to grab some gems when they were clearanced out and used my discount on top of it. The most I spent on a record when I worked there was $25 and that was Thrice's "The alchemy index" on clearance. I still can't believe Bloc Party's "the silent alarm" goes for as much as it does with how many pressings the've down and with how unimpressive the prices are for the rest of BP's discography. I love everything that band has put out and every other album Ive been able to find for more than reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeJoe Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Ya most of the fallout boy, brand new type bands don't surprise me. Despite not liking fallout boy at all I have seen them 3 times live and they sell out stadiums, so it makes sense their records are sought after. It's more the obscure bands that bug me. Like danger, M83, poison the well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats Are Cool Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Tool's Aenima is one that immediately comes to mind. I also joined before the Circa Survive represses and was really disappointed at first to find out they weren't readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No This Is Patrick Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wow, I didn't realize TOCS was so valuable. there's an OG gold /100 for $275 on Discogs. I have the 180g clear HT repress, and it's $88 on Discogs. Jesus. I paid like $12 for that two years ago. I just picked up a 1st press on eBay for a little over $100... and it's the Gold limited to #100!!! Seeing the reissue go for about the same price (and the rarity of this one) I figured it wouldn't matter. #whataBARGAIN Still hate flippers and "inflation" though.

Tardcore Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I was suprised to find out Beck's records can be so expensive. Dude seems big enough that it "should" be pretty easy to justify repressing them to meet demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappingtheyears Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I had no idea that Fantasic Planet by Failure was worth hundreds until I saw it go for such prices on here. I was so bummed when I realized how expensive this record really is. Maybe someday I'll say fuck it and just go for it if I come across a copy.

nancy_raygun Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I remember when Gaslight Anthem was the big thing around here. I don't get the Band New fandom either. I have to imagine the people that paid big bucks for Gaslight Anthem stuff three years ago are feeling pretty dumb right now. Yeah, a good friend of mine got into collecting Gaslight Anthem variants. Last I heard he got pretty close to finishing his collection, with something like 25 different color copies of Sink or Swim. At the height of the Gaslight Anthem phase I was trying to get him to sell it off but he wouldn't listen. I'll bet he couldn't get half now of what he could have 2 years ago.

tape Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I had no idea that Fantasic Planet by Failure was worth hundreds until I saw it go for such prices on here. Just looked this up and hoooooly shit. Tom Petty - Wildflowers. It was first on my list of records to get. After I got my Pro-Ject all hooked up I went online to purchase it...Little did I know it was out of print and going for over $250 on Ebay. Crushed all my dreams. Being a somewhat popular album I had no forethought to investigate pricing beforehand. Oh well, I'll wait patiently for the reissue.... I'd say a lot of the 90s light alternative stuff like Counting Crows and Toad the Wet Sprocket. When I started really collecting I figured I could pick that kind of stuff up pretty cheap. Not so much. Keep in mind that the 90s were a time where vinyl largely didn't exist, especially in the major label arena. Majors were very into getting their $19 for a CD and not so much into spending way more time, money and effort into pressing a couple thousand records for some old whitehaired dudes or other music nerds. Obviously the punk and other DIY-oriented scenes and some indie labels didn't totally give up on vinyl, but I mean it was a rough time. The only store I remember selling vinyl at all at the time (that wasn't a used record store) was Newbury Comics, and the one near me had literally one vinyl bin. Never realized the demand for pop punk was so huge. Maybe it's not in the grand scheme of things, but for some reason this forum has a massive fanbase for that stuff. Punk and punk-related genres have always been one of the holdouts where vinyl was still a serious thing after CDs cratered the vinyl market in the late 80s. It doesn't surprise me that pop punk is one of the areas where vinyl is big today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heypeterman Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Pearl Jam wrote Black (opinion but bash away), so all of their awful stuff is made up for by that. I can't say the same about Brand New. It's just terrible music that I only picture people listening to to get emo girls in bed. I don't hang out with anyone in real life who likes them, so at least I never have to put up with them.

It doesn't surprise me that pop punk is one of the areas where vinyl is big today. My collection is probably 75% pop-punk. I really got into music when Enema of the State came out, when I was ten. So I've always been more partial to the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually picked up a copy from someone here years ago. I can't find the exact price because all those PM's were lost when the site transferred, but I swear I had them add it to whatever I was getting from them for $10. Who knew?

Spektorologist Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Regina Spektor's earlier albums and singles, begin to hope, soviet kitsch and even far. I've seen SK fetch up to $150. I got all of mine when they came out at retail but was shocked to see the prices currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
