Yeah but if I'd have gotten 2 of the $50 black sabbath records I could have sold 1 and covered the cost of both and made $50 to buy something else. Should I have done it?

I’m not gonna say anyone should or shouldn’t do it, that’s on them… but the secondary market has a lot to do with the price of vinyl right now.Yeah but if I'd have gotten 2 of the $50 black sabbath records I could have sold 1 and covered the cost of both and made $50 to buy something else.

Agreed there. I don't like selling because I hate dealing with people. To the point where I'm not doing a collection purge because I hate the hassle of selling to internet randoms between discog fees and PayPal siding with buyers every time. So I stay out.

I pif and/or take things to trade to my local. I feel like both get records to people that want them and I get something out of it as well.

Yeah I usually go to my local. The 50% cut from discogs value stings often though. I also need to find a new local since moving

I don’t flip records but I don’t hate flippers. I hate Capitalism.
The comments in Discogs where people are super aggro because a record they want is selling on the secondary market for 10 times the MSRP are exasperating. The problem isn’t the flippers it’s the market place.

this is the way. i know i will make less money bringing stuff to my local, but saves me a headache and they pay fairly based on the idea that they then have to sell them and make profit.
i still sell a few things online here and there like bigger ticket items...but mostly just try to trade in.

yep. FOMO marketing makes people buy multiple copies, or copies just to resell. false scarcity is the problem most of the time. rhino could press and sell 20k copies of sabbath over time I'm sure, but they choose to do 5,000 copies.

I mean flipping is late stage capitalism. You take a commodity that is desired and remove it from the market so that you can profit on it.
People need to do what they need to do.
But I’m not gonna pretend that flipping is anything other than the worst of capitalism.

Why do these keep being picture discs

Why do these keep being picture discs
My guess it is because they are cheaper and much easier to do at scale.

Really? I always thought they had to be more expensive to make. Now I'm super curious.

Have no idea, just speculating here. Blood seems to always to do picture discs for their really big runs. Has to be cheaper right?

Not if they know it's going to sell 10k of them in an hour vs less of something cheaper to make

Picture discs can’t possibly be cheaper.
You can etch it in like they did the 50th DSOTM or the rest of them are a film over the record.
They are the collectible side of things catnip. If you are never gonna listen to it then they are cool.
