I feel quite lucky to have scored a copy of this on discogs the other day for $20, also from Japan.

To be honest anyone can take, any random record and put it on eBay with a crazy buy it now price.

It's a good record, but it will never sell for 780 dollars, unless it someone insanely stupid and wealthy.

I see tons of these kinds of auctions and it annoys the shit out of me. Even more when people start to use it as a reference for their selling price.

I love to heckle with people trying to buy rare old punk records on the Dutch version of Craiglist, knowing they will sell it the next day on eBay for triple or quadruple princes.

I love it when they send a list with low ball prices and I send them an mail back with: "I looked on ebay and the going prices are..." and 9 out of 10 times, don't wont bother to mail you back. :)

Completely agree with this. It feels like I'm seeing more and more ridiculous set-prices or starting bids. Contrary to popular belief, Lazylab's astronomical asking prices do not inflate record values.

It's a shoop, you're a liar, and i'm-a smite you!

(I actually like how you had the foresight to get a screencap)

I typically have six or so tabs going in a browser at any time and sometimes I'll forget to close one out (two monitors, twelve or so potential tabs open, it happens) - this was one of those cases, so when it was suggested that I may suffer from numerical dyslexia, I took the screencap since the tab was still conveniently open.

Hurray for being a nerd who can't stand to be wrong!

Moneen - The Red Tree

I've seen it sell in the $100 range, but shit this went for a lot more than I was expecting.

the thing with her though is if you look at the completely listings she is actually selling some of those records for at or near her asking prices.

I wonder if she has someone buy them at retard prices and relists them to make it seem like they are worth more.

Some, but definitely not this record or any other record that is so grossly overpriced, I indeed see some record that fetched up to 200 dollars, but that are often very rare records and that price can be justified for some persons.

Everyone in their right mind and with a bit of knowledge knows what records a priced (maybe a tad expensive but) according to the real market value and what records are priced way off.

What's crazy is the number of auctions she wins/buys at ridiculous high prices, knowing she can still profit by reselling.

Yup. Kinda sucks that she's the one who got all those extremely expensive items recently for like $13 a pop. Would have been nice if they went to someone who is actually going to listen and appreciate them.

Bottom line is that if people are gonna continue to be dumb enough to pay the ridiculous prices she asks, she'll keep doing it. I am willing to bet some items are purchased by her friends (like someone else mentioned) in order to make it look like that's the going rate.

These aren't all that expensive but they're fairly rare and I was stoked to get ahold of them:

No one else even seemed to care on this one so I won it with no problems.

This Liars record usually goes for $70+ and up until the last 6 minutes (from what I suspected was a poorly written listing title), I was the only one who had touched it and it looked like I may have made off with it for only $15 shipped. A couple of other folks attempted sniping it in the final moments but my high bid held out and I ended up walking away with it at $32 shipped which is pretty awesome for me given what I've been attempting to talk myself into paying for it.

I've wanted one of those 90 Lp Wuss 5"s forever.

I passed on one a couple of months back and it went for the same price to the only person who touched it. I still have it in my saved searches, if I find a copy before you do, I'll send you the link. :)
