Hey guys,

I've got a few more awesome records for sale. Gonna hate to see these go.

i don't think you'll have to worry about it

[tokimedo]

amen ry, amen.

Would be sweet to have that Julia single. I love that song. Friggin' Canada shipping, though.

The German Transatlanticism isn't "rarer". I had some trouble getting $35 for mine. $50 is standard price for the more sought after American Barsuk press.

Money issues suck

It's free with any purchase!

Youre right man. Thanks for the help. I was hard pressed to find info on this, was misinformed when I first bought I t. I'll adjust the price accordingly.

Shit, is that Thrice/Thursday split really going for anything over 2 dollars?  Id like to pick up Limbeck again as I sold it when I lost my job a few years ago, but mine was white and I let it go for 25 and never seen another one that color before.

[dejanew]

If you don't like my prices, don't buy them. Seems pretty simple to me. These took a long time to collect.

[qwrm38]

i would love to take abedisi and the american football but i'd rather buy from someone in the states :/

I don't think anyone implied that they were. Pretty simple indeed.

yeah shipping sucks. That's why I'm trying to work out deals for multiple records, saves on shipping.

From the Forum Rules thread:

 

Sale spoiling

Please do not march into a thread and state that you can get an item for $X on eBay or some other online store. Or that you're selling the same item for less. If you think their price may be too high, don't be rude about it. If others feel the same way, then it won't sell. This is a hobby where each person gives an item a different monetary worth. While it's fine to look out for others, people should also do research into the item they are buying. also, if a buyer offers a price that you consider to be too low a price for an item, please politely decline it, or give them a ball park figure you're thinking around.

 

All of you guys making comments about how I've priced all these are not really doing anything to help it. I'm no expert on selling. I go off popsike and keep the prices slightly lower/on par with the ones on there. Just because you can't get your hands on a copy of a Thrice or a Brand New record doesn't mean that you have to rip on me for selling them for the current market value. Thank you for all the free bumps guys.

[littlebistro]

You seem awfully defensive for someone with reasonable prices.

[dejanew]

You seem awfully defensive for someone with reasonable prices.

 

Once again, thank you for the advice/showing me that my prices are not reasonable. You know, I wouldn't mind a little help with listing. I'm seriously not seeing that these prices aren't reasonable. It's ridiculous that I try to plug into a community of collectors that seems so tight and friendly to other collectors and after researching and putting my stuff up for sale, all I do is get told how my prices are too high. Save for wheresoulmeetsbody (he actually gave me some helpful advice and I immediately lowered my price), nobody has given me any help, only acted pretentious and put me down. Whatever.

[adammuzzy]

you're asking 120 bucks for that copy of the devil and god, which is 10 bucks a song, but i only like 3 songs on that record, so you'll do it for 30 to me right? thanks...

[Derek™]

It's ridiculous that I try to plug into a community of collectors that seems so tight and friendly to other collectors and after researching and putting my stuff up for sale, all I do is get told how my prices are too high.

 

Allow me to interject on this note.  Do you know why VC gets the reputation you speak of?  It's because it acts as a haven for collectors who want to obtain or sell records, without getting scalped by eBay prices and fees.  Your records have two arbitrary values -- one here at Vinyl Collective, and one on eBay.  I know you're new here, so you'll likely hear the following bit of advice quite often, if you haven't already.  It is a golden rule that thwarts the inane "Don't like the price?  Don't buy it" mentality that so many naïve sellers seem to embrace.  It is my privilege to be the first person to inform you...

 

If you want eBay prices, list it on eBay.

 

It's really that simple.  Here at VC, personal transactions don't cost you 10% of your item's value, as they do on eBay auctions.  There is no reserve.  There is no shill bidding.  There is no bullshit.  That's what makes the trade aspect of this community so "tight and friendly".  Granted, there are obviously bad apples in every barrel of everything, ever, I can say that 100% of my VC purchases and sales have involved genuine dudes with fair prices.

 

A few months back I decided to sell off some variants and duplicates of records I had.  I Popsike'd them beforehand.  I checked current listings on eBay.  Simply put, I did my homework.  And after determining their value, I still made a hell of a deal on most everything.  I sold a few $12 records for $25, even though I could have easily fetched $50 or $60.  Why?  Because it felt good to make a slight profit on my end, naturally, but it was also nice seeing pieces of my collection go to fellow enthusiasts of the medium.  People who, I'm fairly confident, are more likely to enjoy the records than flip them.

 

Of course, I've also offered up a few gems that received significantly low offers here at VC.  Not lowball offers, necessarily: just very realistic prices on records that fetch unrealistic amounts of money.  There's a fine line between being a good guy who helps out the community, and being oblivious to how much a record is worth.

 

A little over a month ago I sold a copy of Deja Entendu on eBay.  eBay was my first choice, since the majority of VC members suspect and hope that the record will be repressed next year.  I knew the album's going rates - $200 to $400 on the 'Bay - but I'll be damned if I was going to create a thread asking for that much.  That's just not how it works, you know?  Being that I loved that album, and really needed the funds, I refused to sell myself short.  I needed maximum profit at the time.  And if someone is willing to pay you $400 for an LP, it's not a crime to accept said offer.  But to outright ask for it defeats the purpose of our closely knit community.  If the record didn't mean as much as it did to me, and if the cash wasn't so necessary at the time being, I would have gladly put it in a sale thread here at VC, looking to fetch $120 or so.  That is realistic.  That is a price someone is willing to pay, as it's far below eBay premium.  And that is what VC is about.

 

I know this post is reading pretty preachy at this point.  And I'm okay with that.  But what you need to become aware of - should you choose to stay around the community for a while - is the value of your records, and how they apply to your audience or buyers.  (That's us.)  You're not a selfish prick for wanting $100+ for a first press Vheissu.  Clearly there are people (still) willing to throw that much money down for one.  But you're not going to find them here.  Exorbitant prices, percentage cuts, and overpriced shipping belongs on eBay.  That's where you'll get the most bang for your buck, and I'd recommend saving your time and breath by listing extravagant BINs there.  But you've waddled your way into VC territory.  And these here parts are filled with friendly faces, mutually-pleasing prices, honest shipping rates, and peace of mind.  I think you'll come to like it if you give it a chance.

Super long, really helpful post.

 

 

 

 

 

Dude, thank you. It's really intimidating when I'm trying to learn to sell records and I'm recommended popsike for price ranges by a bunch of people and after watching for months and finally posting prices, the first replies I receive are from dudes with thousands of posts basically telling me I'm an idiot. I'm honestly not trying to rip anyone off here, I'm a collector just like the rest of us. I've been doing this for two years now, and I've sold a few cheaper records but never anything worth much. I'm still learning. I've been offering up some pretty fair deals to guys wanting to buy more than one, and I'm also trying not to lose my money on a few of these. Like Vheissu for example. I bought it a year and a half ago for $100. I could accept that for it, even though it's pulling in $150 pretty regularly. I don't think it's unfair for me to list it for that. I'll go through and fix up the original post to make things a little more fair. Really appreciate the help man, I guess there are good dudes here after all.

 

[OrangeJoe]

I bought TDAG for 85 PPD to canada on this forum.

 

I agree with said, making a profit is okay.

 

But it was a win/win, i pay less then the bay, they make money.

 

If you want Ebay prices, go to ebay, its not hate.

My only other bit of advice is to be careful with selling items that you personally paid a lot for.  For a number of reasons, really, but primarily because the value you placed on that purchase is probably going to differ vastly from what everyone else is willing to pay.  Especially if time has passed, and various factors have come into play.  [such as a repress, in the case of your Vheissu.]  I've purchased a handful of records "in my day" that have broken triple digits... but for me, personally, they hold such sentimental value that the cost was justified for my wallet.  And with that sentimental value comes the complete lack of desire to sell them.  But when and if the time came, and assuming I was really desperate for the funds, there's no way I'd expect to make a profit back on all of them.  Hell, I'd be lucky if I could break even on a few of them.  If you're seeking maximum profit, and trying to make back the surplus amount of money you spent on the record to begin with, you should probably just list in on eBay.  Either in an auction with a reserve, or as a bloated BIN if you've got the patience.  Someone will bite.  I understand that it's frustrating to lose money on a record that you have to sell... but it does happen.  But trying to rectify that price difference in communities like VC isn't the solution to seek.  Just food for thought.

 

Also, you're probably receiving flack from us 1K+ members because we've been around the block a few times, and see these types of threads constantly.  Brand new members looking to make big bucks, with zero reputation.  I hate to sound pretentious, but you almost have to earn the right to sell the big fish around here.  Few people are going to Paypal you hundreds of dollars with no background information on you.  Members who make a few sales and establish a persona on the boards - outside of just the sale threads - are much more likely to receive appealing offers than new-jacks who strut in with a bookmark folder full of Popsike links.

Alright man. I honestly really appreciate the advice. I don't see any harm in listing a few of these for the prices I've got up now but I definitely see your point on the sentimental part. I still prefer to see somebody post asking prices instead of saying "PM me offers". If these don't sell, I'll know that I'm asking too much and I'll move them over to ebay. I figure it's better for me to try and offer them up in a community of people who aren't just record flippers first and if I can't get my asking price, then I'll move on and try and make some money out of them.
