Are you kidding me?! $500+ for a 7"? Why? I paid $8.

Yup. I got it for $10 when she opened for Conor Oberst, and I had her sign it so I figure mines worth around $1 million!

I remember someone on Reddit had that and the Killer single for 200 and was getting razzed hard for it. Kinda silly where those sit now

It’s funny as someone who used to hit up a lot of Goodwills years ago, I have found records that have jumped in price from like 5 years ago. I’ll post pics later in this thread because I’m moving my records to a bigger room in my house I’m a bit busy but I’ve had stuff that I thought sounded great I’ve never heard of and it was like 99 cents on Discogs then I look it up now it’s $50. I went to this ladies house selling her brothers entire collection. My GF met her and she thought she was doing me a favor. So we get there and 98% of these records were scratched up. The woman explained her kids would play with the records and stuff anyway I find like 2 records that look interesting but one in particular I look up was $20. I go yesterday to look it up because I found it in my cube and it’s $400.

Mitski seem to have a Phoebe-effect atm. Wasn't this lurking for quite some time in the store before it finally sold out? Even the standard pressing seem to go for a premium now...

Mitski - Be The Cowboy

Url: Mitski - Be The Cowboy

And I picked this up at a sale in the VMP store for about $16.

Mitski - Bury Me At Make Out Creek

Url: Mitski - Bury Me At Make Out Creek

EDIT: - And I seemed to forget it wasn't 2022 anymore - I thought this post I quoted was more recent than it really was.

Just a heads up, but some recent repress of Bury Me At Make Out Creek has been hitting stores this month.

I saw that it was getting a repress in some store email a few weeks ago, but when I went to the page it was 404'd - but figured something was up about it.

Some releases have made their way into Discogs and are going for about $30 shipped.

This album was unobtainium for a while - and not just the VMP or other variants.

Why is this so expensive? I literally bought a copy new from Acoustic Sounds for $25 a couple days ago. Drive-By Truckers - Southern Rock Opera (Vinyl Records) For Sale at Discogs Marketplace

Maybe it just came back in stock, only 2 sales since July 2022 and only 2 sellers, so I wouldn’t call it expensive but rather just asking for what it sold at last.

Or the same kinda fuckknobs who try and sell albums for $50+ on Cogs that are available direct from the artist for $25...

This is the secret KPG cut - it may be just because it's hard to tell but it's creeping up.

Wow I am shocked about that Hunger Games press. I remember trying to sell it for 10 bucks a few years ago and couldn't get a bite

Man, I love prince's music and I remember the summer that movie came out, and I had that fucking thing on cassette. They may sell it for that, and someone will buy it for that, but let me tell you, that album will never be worth $50.

This is a good album, had no idea it's been getting expensive

 

[displayname]

I don't know why this one shot up so much. I mean it's a good album, but these prices are crazy. Multiple listed for $250, median listed at $195

The Neighbourhood - I Love You.

This one also jumped up significantly. Median at $158, which is inline with the lowest US price listed shipping from elsewhere.
Honestly though, this is 100% a reference album for me, and I don't know what it would need to jump to for me to sell it.

Louis Armstrong - Satchmo Plays King Oliver

OH, here's another great one! So the backstory here was that I ordered this from VMP for $25. Instead of the Mofi version, they sent the run of the mill version that was available on Amazon for $14. VMP refused to give me a full refund, and I think they gave me $10-15 dollars back. I was able to hunt down the Mofi one for maybe $40-50. Def not more than $50.
Lowest listing now is $130, median at $150. And they wonder why I was pissed when they sent an Amazon copy. That was truly the beginning of the end of VMP for me.

Wow, I have this and completely agree. It’s a killer record, my favorite of the Louis albums I have.
