$227 for Something to Write Home About!? Is this normal?! It may be on color, but God damn. This blows my mind.

[vinylme]

I've seen the red go for a lot before but I've never seen it go for that much.

[mrc]

i know completing a collection is important to some people but 227 is alot. I wonder if this record is one of this kid's "final Pieces" to his GUK collection or if he saw it and had to have it.

[gravitylovesdrunks]

nope. not normal.

doghouse has to hurry up and repress this shit already...

[jhulud]

I would have figured that Four Minute Mile would go for this much (maybe)...sometimes...but never this one...

[gravitylovesdrunks]

nah it seems that STWHA consistently sells higher than four minute mile does nowadays.

[rrd]

thats pretty nuts, alot of tguk stuff is really rising in price on ebay lately, its kinda weird

[xjustinxschwierx]

hahaha! you hear that?! that's the death bell ringing on the vinyl fad.

[Guest abravemorning]

Glad I got my FMM and STWHA for a decent price. Probably my favorite records in my collection right now.

I got mine from steveontheradio with a couple of other GUK records. I'd prefer to not say how much I paid openly. I'll tell you the next time I see.

[xadamhudsonx]

-Insane.

That's just a little bit less that I paid for my clear Jane Doe.

I think I only paid like 25$ for my STWHA on ebay like 3 years ago...

Looks like you're right:

$15.50 for a 7" you can buy for $5 from Vagrant, and $6 from Virgil and RevHQ?

People should do some serious price checking before they bid. It's these kind of people who are driving the prices of records up.

Agreed. Some Weakerthans LP's just sold for triple the price that you can get them for through Hopeless or Cinder Block. I don't get it.

[vinyljunkie]

whats not to get.....its ebay.

i always throw copies of stuff from my distro on ebay. and many times it will fetch 4 or 5 times than i have it listed in the distro for.

people are too lazy to search around, adn its just easier for them to click a couple buttons on ebay, even if they do pay more. so they end up paying 12-15 bucks for a 7" that i have a whole stack of for 4 bucks in the distro.

the weird thing is, its a lot of the same people. i recognize the names from the distro, so i know they know i exist, and have ordered from me before, and yet they will still pay double the price from me on ebay. im not complaining.....oh well.

[counterfiction]

people are stupid.

[aarondanger]
