bluethumb Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Would really love to get my hands on this record. I am willing to pay well for it, but the $200-$300 prices in eBay are out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforkevin777 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The highest I've seen one on eBay sell for is $140, and that was way higher than the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethumb Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 I just looked and the only Buy it Now is $200, and the auctions always shoot up at the end. $140 would be the cheapest I've seen, but I'll keep an eye out. Also, people here seem much more realistic with their prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 well dang. for $120+, i'm tempted to sell *my* copy! hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforkevin777 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Lol. I bought a copy for $60, a copy for $45, and traded a copy of The Devil and God for a copy. I've seen one copy go on eBay for $88, one go for $65, and a few others around there. I didn't know they were starting to go that high. I figured $140 was just a fluke. I'm hanging on to my orange copy though. I sold a black/green copy for $60 like last week. Sold the other for like $69 on eBay a while back. It should be getting repressed. They signed to EVR, and Max said "old albums" will be getting pressed on vinyl, so I assume that means In Defense and Real Boy. So if you don't wanna pay that much, you might hold out for a repress. Kriss, you keep surprising me with all these bands I would have never pictured you listening to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szimm98 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Saw this the other night. Not a big fan of the record but I guess this is a pretty good deal for a Test Press of the record if its normally going for 150-200. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Say-Anything-Is-Real-Boy-Test-Press-2x-LP-VG-Saves-Day-Taking-Back-Sunday-/350515608363?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item519c5bbb2b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforkevin777 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 That same test is on Discogs. Or I assume it's the same one. Same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Kriss, you keep surprising me with all these bands I would have never pictured you listening to. I was 19 once. Seriously though, I have a couple thousand LP's that I haven't gotten around to listing on my Dead Format and you'd be shocked what all's in my collection - I have a few things in common with a lot of the folks on here, more than I let on anyway...

Haha. Yeah, I looked over your list one time and was like "I don't know any of this..." But, bluethumb, good luck! There's a copy on eBay right now, but it's apparently got a skip or two.

kevin848 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 if anyone wants to buy a first press black and green copy, hit me up. Me want. I check nearly everyday for it on ebay, but this is not an album I am willing to spend as much as it goes for on ebay. I reserve those prices for my stupid addiction to Thrice.

kriss Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm one of the hugest jerks on this board about the evils of flipping and I'm not entirely sure that getting something and then selling it at $10 profit is flipping. Seems like Kevin was doing this dude a solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yocaseycasey Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The way I see it though is that if you're looking for at least close-to-ebay prices, you might as well put it up on ebay. What's the point of taking offers on here that aren't ebay prices to just turn around and put it on ebay to GET ebay prices. Most of the people that I have bought from on here are super cool and sell things at reasonable prices. For example, I've seen people on here that want $50-65 for Enema of the State, and I just bought a copy for $30 from someone on the boards no problem. I guess that Derek guy just really pissed me off a week or so ago when he was like "Blah blah, I don't want insane ebay prices. Blah blah I'd rather a true fan get it," and I offer him $140 for his Vheissu (which I think is inCREDIBLY reasonable for both parties), and he is like "I'll probably take your offer," and then says "Nevermind, I'm putting it on ebay." $70 sounds like an almost-ebay price to me for that Say Anything record. So is $100 (hint: jrodan) End rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My quibble with calling Kevin a flipper is that it seems like he was insinuating that he had three copies (three pressings I assumed) and later sold one out of need for money. My personal theory on re-selling records always falls on the end of: had a record, listened to it, needed money, sold it at cost of purchase or more - cool. versus bought a record, didn't listen, solid it at inflated price - not cool. Maybe I'm still feeling guilty for not giving that copy of Green up to you as easily as I had imagined I would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mainly being cheeky with my flipping comment. Ironically, jrodan chimed in, and he's offered up his white Devil and God for the low price of $70PPD and this Say Anything record for a steal of $100PPD claiming "Lower than ebay prices!" I just don't get that. Then again, I don't get a lot of things (like field hockey and sushi). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodan Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 and jrodan, you need to quit relying on ebay for your pricing. this doesnt even make sense. ebay and discogs and collectorsfrenzy and popsike are all valuable ways to price things. while i understand that you may want not want to pay what has clearly already been defined as a price someone was willing to pay is not of my concern. i realize that if i want "ebay prices" i need to go to ebay, but id much rather go here, offer the records for less than ebay and be willing to work deals.
