markalark17 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Does anyone know why this costs so much? I'd really like a copy of all their full lengths, but this seems to go for a lot of money. Anyone know why? http://cgi.ebay.com/Tegan-and-Sara-New-Sealed-So-Jealous-Vinyl_W0QQitemZ290217855136QQihZ019QQcategoryZ306QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I mean, I picked up "This Business Of Art" LP (their first album) for $12 a month ago. I thought this wouldn't be that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmorgan Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 maybe it's a fluke? do they always go for that much? or maybe it's because it's sealed or something silly like that. good album, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markalark17 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 I don't know. The only other copy I've seen (which is still up) is a BIN or best offer, at $149.99. So apparently it is just that rare. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magalvsr13 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 they apparently go for a little more than normal....but 50 seems too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markalark17 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Has anyone seen a copy of "If It Was You" on eBay? That's the only one I haven't seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djjazzyjeff Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 yeah their albums do go for a lot. i sold "if it was you" for $70 a while ago and "this business of art" for $50 before that, but i've seen them go for considerably more. flip that ish.

neurosis138 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Most of their records have gone out of print in the last year, and are harder to find. I would guess the release of the new album generated some interest in the older stuff, and now that it's out of print, the prices have gone up. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defanatic1758 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 They're popular as fuck now... making these once easy to find albums difficult to track down. I was lucky enough to get two copies of So Jealous last time they restocked them... I still NEED If It Was You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 i picked up so jealous a few months ago. i checked a few weeks ago and it was back in stock, but has since sold out again... it usually goes for around $30, don't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodkablast Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'm pretty sure none of their stuff is out of print, its just that who every puts it out never has any in stock. Maybe their repressing them soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 this one is also expensive because it's the biggest one stateside, probably. as far as i know, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scriptedrain Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Awesome album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I was just checking out MapleMusic and they have copies of 'so jealous' in stock again. I was gonna buy one, but the vinyl cost of $20 plus the $30 (!! what the fuck) they wanted to charge me for shipping to new zealand put me off.

markalark17 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Wow, the cheapest option for shipping even to the US is just over $12. Hmmm...is it worth it? They may have copies on tour, and I'm seeing them on May 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 You could always contact them and see if they have any copies with them on tour, that way you know for sure. May 6 is a while away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markalark17 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 ^ Yeah, I e-mailed someone from their website, and they said they may have a few copies of So Jealous on tour, but he couldn't promise anything. He also said that If It Was You was out of print. So hopefully they'll just do a repress of that. Maybe Virgil can get some copies of SJ in?

fridge Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 hint hint Virgil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markalark17 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 ^ Haha, oh yeah. I sent him an e-mail, so I'll post what he says when I hear from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markalark17 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 So, I never realized that Virgil carried these at one point. http://www.vinylcollective.com/2007/08/09/not-new-but-new-to-vc-get-up-kidsdashboardsaves-the-day/ I suppose that means he could get them in again, especially if they are continually pressed. I haven't heard anything back from him yet, but I'll still let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
