cj Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 There was usually a catalyst that sparked these speculator markets, such as the Death of Superman, Foil/enhanced covers, etc... What caused the vinyl speculation? colored vinyl! when records were coming out in the 70's there was hardly any and now everybody (and i mean everybody) is releasing on colored vinyl. im more pumped to get a 180g black vinyl because it sounds better. now labels do 15 pressings on 3 colors each and the colors are out of 100 and that does nothing but drive up the market and bring in more people who dont care about the band or album to buy it for the sole purpose of resale... ala comic books and sports cards. it will always happen.

Guest genericinsight Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 So glad I was able to buy this brand new from punkstop. ditto... though honestly when I first bought both LP's from Punkstop I never imagined the band would get as big as they're getting now.

jawbreaker Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Good...fucking god. Too bad the band isn't getting some of this action. They probably made a couple bucks of each copy and this guy is making a killing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest baseball Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Holy shit. That's all I can say. I'm bummed that I've finally got some disposable income to blow on stuff I've wanted for a while and ebay is completely out of control.

hickey Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 That's probably the most unreasonable price I've seen paid for a record recently. It took a while for the black copies to sell out. Gaslight Anthem is great, not $150 great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 How I got mine now looks like a frickin' steal. God, me too. amsterdamned traded me his copy of the Gaslight LP (on white/red) for a Snapcase record that was still semi-easy to obtain.

Guest genericinsight Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Man. that's ridiculous. even if I needed some extra cash I can't sell my black Gaslight LP - it's got a huge scratch in it and skips in multiple places on side one. I wouldn't want to be the asshole to sells someone a record for $150 only to have it be damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
