I was wondering if anyone else has seen something like these? I mean I just think why and how would people spent so much on one or few albums? like 700€ to get music? seriously.. for example
feel free to add your own links what you find that are way too crazy priced.. but only music albums not t-shirt or other stuff.. interested to see what you guys might have seen..
I love the fact people ask for hundres of Euros for the album itself then you still need to pay for shipping.. like "here's this album for 1000€ and you pay 20€ for shipping!" right..like the 1000€ isn't enough for you to pay something like 10-30€ shipping.. jeez..
I've got alot of these vinyls and cds that cost hundreds or thousands and so glad I paid no where near that.
It's annoying that people want so much for vinyl when they've been used or have seam splits or creases or crackles during playing.
this is even more insane. The price for a 7" with 2 songs...despite it being the first Iron Maiden... that's NO excuse.
"It's annoying that people want so much for vinyl when they've been used or have seam splits or creases or crackles during playing."
actually that was one reason I quit collecting vinyl completely. Usually when I bought vinyl as new meaning factory sealed it would be warped or have some sort of physical damage in the vinyl causing playback issues I didn't bother to ask refund or return item because they were all bought from another countries. I suppose I could blame myself for that but whatever. When buying used vinyl something like 2-5 year old stuff it usually starts to cost aroung 30-100€ in price while CD is 5-20€ at the tops.. I remember buying Summoning vinyl used from discogs for 100€ or 150€ if I remember correctly then someone commented there that he bought 4 Summoning vinyls first presses and all of them have crackling issue no matter how he would try to clean them.. so in my opinion the cost and quality ratio on most vinyl releases aren't worth it. idk it just pissed me off too much to buy 20-30€ then when it finally arrives as factory sealed they use cheap inner sleeves which cause scratches to the vinyl even before you play it.. fun.

Ανασα σταχτη was an awesome Greek hardcore/crust punk band (if you are a fan of this music you should definitely chech them out). This is their only album, and is considered an underground gem that every collector wants to have. Because Ανασα σταχτη was a DIY band, ( "This record has been released completely indepently and it's a product of friendship, cooperation, will and and attempt of self-organizing our need of expression and creation" ) very few copies are availble today, and always sell for ridiculous prices. I fucking HATE scums that try to exploit the name of some cult bands of the past by selling their music for absurd prices. I really hope that it could be properly re-released, so all these leaches could stick their fucking ripoff prices up their greedy asses.
They probably still would sell for high prices, even with the rerelease! You know some ppl want the original first pressing (nothing wrong with that ofc!)....
I mostly collect CDs because the bands benefit from the sales, I buy second hand stuff now and then if it's the only thing available, Same with patches, Cancer - Death Shall Rise is a must have Death Metal album for me, But I'm not willing to pay over $300 when they don't get some part of that to put into future projects! People are just greedy and think people are willing to sell their soul to have those particular pieces so everyone thinks their top shit! Fuck that I say, I bought all three Bolt Thrower t shirts from the cancelled Australian tour when Martin died, His family gets the money, I respect that, I'm not pay over $100 or more for a shirt someone got in the 90s that Bolt Thrower doesn't get the benefit off.
I'd rather pay a price I'm happy with, be able to pay my bills each month and have food in my belly then give someone my hard earned cash because their trying to make a quick buck off some gullible person thinking it's kvlt as fuck!
the latest - crazy shit i saw, where in a Mail from Discogs. a Top-10 about the highest priced - SOLD items from Month July/2017 ....Emperor album Box for 3000+ $ (DOLLAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)...i mean..wtf..hahahahaha
With the high-prices....there are always 2 sides for me...
a) PPL will ask for incredible prices...totaly non realistic prices....looks high, but no1 buys
b) PPL will ask for incredible prices....BUT PPL PAY it..
...a) ...sure every1 can TRY ....but b) god damn..rly? :P
Even if i would have 5000 Euro every month, to throw it out of the window....i would NOT buy a single CD for 200-300 Euro (not to talk about 1000+) ..maybe i would be rich..yes, but still not stupid....sorry
Absolutely! It's ridiculous!! And the thing is - ppl see the high prices & think "Hey if this guy is taking that much, I will too!" & this whole thing spreads like a plague!! Sucks!
Found this little collectable the other day on eBay - I like the fact that the guy who is selling is has the cassette's back story and general advice about collecting along with it - but I scoffed hard at the insane price he is asking for it.
Amazing piece of history no doubt, But fuck paying that for ONE cassette, if I paid that I'd want Kreator to come to my house and play the demo in full haha.
I think sometimes must be pay for a rare record high price. Maybe wait for some records for ages but not will be catch for low price...I am often pay high prices some item just will be in great condition...When the time is running the prices will be too high...unfortunatelly.

Wouldn't even bother with that Emperor boxset. Emperor just fucking sucks after In the Nightside Eclipse

You know thats something anybody could say. In fact thats about all I ever hear anyone say.
Frankly the only Emperor I like is Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk

ALL Emperor albums/demo/EPs are masterpieces. Don't give a fuck what anyone thinks about Prometheus or IX Equilibrium.

LAst year a 10" vinyl record got sold for about 6500 euro. JUDGE; Chunk king can suck it. Most expensive hardcore record ever i think.

There's a Belgian guy who has it. Held it in my hands a few years ago. He looked concerned when I was holding it hehe.
longe666 on
Seriously? I havent seen any Belgian on the list of the lucky 110. You sure it wasnt the boot? I have the boot aswell.

He's on the list. Think the record was in mint condition too.

whats that guys name? does he play in a band?

Once in discogs was Dust angel To to dust you will decay cd at 500e price, hahaa! it must be official 1:st press, BUT still insane price!

This CD got re released not too long ago and he's trying to get this much for a 1st press? lol

He probably gave the wrong info. Slovenia changed its currency from tolar to euro in 2007.
Therefore: 700 SIT = 2.92 € haha
