harryq Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I imagine licensing fees or something play a role, as well as packaging quality, in addition to greed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkticon Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Not to mention that it's 2011 and prices ranging from production to shipping to MSRP just cannot be the same as they were 5-10 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pearbear Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I'm pretty sure I was paying $14-15 for a single LP new in 2001-2003. Also the value of the dollar has changed since then, so it's about the same as now or now could be cheaper in some instances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarostino Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 i understand all the complaints about the record prices... but honestly? you guys in the us have it so good! lets have a look at the average vinyl prices in germany: 7"s - around $7 single lps - around $24+ double lps - around $28+ there are always cheaper records but then we also have bands like deftones that get charged $32 for a single record and almost $40 for a double lp. when ordering from overseas (what we have to do prettttty often) you have to add $10-15 for shipping for a single lp. boohoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 For that matter, what did it cost a dude in the U.S. in 1973 when he went to pick up a new copy of Dark Side of The Moon? I've never gotten a real indication of how much it cost to buy new records in that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darknesscomesalive Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 This will surely stay a civil and well reasoned thread with cohesive arguments for one side or the other and will in no way turn into 10 pages of name calling or some such silliness....

pearbear Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I've gotten a used one with the wrapping and original price tag still on that were $6.99, even some with inserts that had order by mail for I believe around the same price. I think that was circa mid 70's. I think these are accurate list prices http://pinkfloydarchives.com/Discog/US/LP/RDI.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe it took you an hour. The same LP was available for $13 at the same time. $15 for an LP with screened covers that cost $$$extra$$$. Dumb ass.
