hickey Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 How I got mine now looks like a frickin' steal. No way! It was a steal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentine 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. ethos aside, you probably still could. something tells me the kid who paid 150 for it isnt going to be playing it anytime soon.

akross Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I am so glad that I got one of these (white/red) from No Idea, otherwise I would have to wait forever to get one I could afford... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruins4ever Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I missed out on the white/red. fuck me, hopefully someone on this board will sell me one for a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalcycle Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I missed out on the white/red. i missed out on this record in general. i've been bidding on keep your heart on gray and even at my highest bid of 50.01, i still feel like if i did win it i probably could have gotten it for way less. i wonder if the copies they have from the "markets" on ebay are color...i saw one a long time ago with a BIN of 9.99 and i said "hell, it'll still be here in a few weeks." guess again.

thrillho Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 i brought up this same exact point the other day... the only big difference is the rarity factor is much higher with vinyl.. ie theres 1000 copies of a given record as opposed to 1,000,000 barry bonds rookie cards. Are we really in a speculators market? I'm an avid comic collector, and have been there through both good and bad times. 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? I think what we are seeing more of, is a discovery of vinyl by people who are abandoning the cd format. The general interest in vinyl as a musical format will naturally lead certain personality types to the collector side, ie: color vinyl, limited numbered pressings, and so on, so it becomes about more than just the music to this newer generation of "collectors". As Flood pointed out, a lot of this stuff is quite rare in comparison to mass produced collectibles like baseball cards and comics, so it only takes a few new collectors to affect pricing. The collectibles market has always been cyclical, but I believe what we are now experiencing with pricing could be closer to the norm than we might like to believe. Thoughts? -Chris Whenever I tell people i collect vinyl they are sort of puzzled. They say that it's dead (of course) and that plugging into an i-Pod is easier. Then I tell them, that's the point. Today's music and media is all instant and digital. if you want a new album, go online and boom, you have it in literally a minute. that's great when you have a ton of music and a need to digitize your collection of ease of use, hell, that's what i did. but if you really LOVE music and are passionate about it you want something that you can feel closer to. this is where the appeal of vinyl comes in, it's a tangible representation of your tastes. where as the i-pod is a small album art and title name. it's about being able to hold that limited edition color LP you outbid 25 others for; it's not about the songs so much as it is the look and feel of vinyl. some may say, well you get the same thing with a cd, while they are technically right, but I offer the thought that you can pop in a cd in 10 seconds and boom you can hear the whole thing, then you're done. with vinyl you are engrossed with the 'process', you may balance your tone arm before each play, clean the record before and after, set your EQ to ensure a perfect listen. I could go on. It boils down to the fact that we are jaded to technology. we just assume it will just get better and better. people shit their pants when the light bulb was invented, but we don't even televise space launches anymore. vinyl throws you back to when you had to work to hear your music, you appreciate the look of your music, and take the time to really listen. (because as we know vinyl always sounds better) rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissthebottle Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 This is really making me consider ebaying this, I have it on both colors so I still will have copies. I had no idea this band would blow up so soon when I got my copies back when they first were released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea this band would blow up so soon when I got my copies back when they first were released. I've got all three and I've been thinking pretty hard about selling. Still haven't come to a decision though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 i can't wait until they repress this on black and everyone feels stupid for paying high prices to get it. When they released the 1st press they said they would never repress it on black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
