I've found the opposite and almost every sale ive been involved in has gone 100%, two or 3 out of 1500+
Yer man there tho, he's found the Crown Jewels. Or studied auction prices and gone for 'reasonable' prices on high value items... Well that's not a bad price for that, is it worth the risk... ALL TIME WANT... Not been up for sale for 10 years... BANG... 4k for a signed and tracked empty packet
a guy going by "claudiasz" who has a lot of rubbish (Tina Turner - We Don't Need Another Hero) but also a few dozen elusive pieces like Andrew Brown – Blue Monday / You Made Me Suffer for $4000, which wasn't known to be in more than three collections if I remember correctly. Are these people getting rid of their own collections?
I saw this guys listings earlier today and immediately thought MAJOR SCAM ALERT.
Find it hard to believe he has done anything other than listed a lot of high value items he doesn't own, get some low value feedback then BANG hit up a few grand and disappear. He's got serious raresoul listed at $$$$ - looks more like an eBayer that's decided on a new route. Just looking at the first page it's - yeah, right, you look legit.
All his rares are 'Mint'... Like he has 'my proposal', Kings of Soul, etc, etc all in that condition let alone any condition at all.

That's weird. The $18.99 price tag got cropped out when I posted here.
Since the new site came on I can't see large photos, they go off the right side of the screen and there's no option to scroll back and forth - anyone else get this? Happens on my phone and laptop.

$15 on a clean copy = instant sale, been this way for a year or so now.
Hmm lately ive been tempted, as a long time collector, to pick up the pace in regards to collecting new (hip hop) releases on limited vinyl runs. Quite a few of these releases increase in value a while after the drop. There's a whole slew of little labels catering to heads still looking for vinyl from current artists. Slice of spice, mello music, chopped herring, etc. And not just hiphop, electronica labels such as ghostly too.
In Jan I sold a start-up shop a 1000 lot set of comps and rock for a pound sterling apiece, he drove 200 miles to pick up, I hope it kickstarts his venue but so glad I'm out with pocket and pride intact. Worldly goods hold less allure as months pass.
I'm part of a local facebook vinyl collecting group
my local facebook vinyl collecting group is straight up comedy gold.
a month or so ago, a dude posted about Dave Matthews - "Before These Crowded Streets" on vinyl, trying to sell a vg- copy for $180. he literally pitched it as buying a "good investment". i checked popsike out of curiosity & sure enough: people are buying this crap for $300+!
Just did my annual winter/spring purge and took a couple of crates of $5-$10 VG+ records up to my local spot to sell.
Over the past few years they usually take anywhere from 50% - 75% of what i bring in.
Yesterday, they took pretty much 95% off it and they were paying very well to boot.

I've noticed people paying INSANE prices for clean common rock records... What used to be dollar bin fodder is $15-$25. Fuck... people paying $40 for Buckingham Nicks.
Buckingham Nicks hasn't been reissued and isn't necessarily an easy pull. That makes it $40+ easy right?
I brought a few records to a White Elephant xmas party last year and it was easily the most fought-after gift (Rumours / Prince / T-Rex trifecta-related). Couldn't help myself but chuckle at the scenario in front of me that just a few years ago would have been straight .
WRT the title of this thread, I think that we can hardly call the act of overpaying for a VG+ copy of Rumours "Collecting" per se. It will be interesting to see how the market on this stuff pans out over the next couple of years, and not just in terms of the longevity of overpriced 180 gram reissues. Are people buying established "classics" outside of their main genres, just to say they have a well-rounded collection?

No offense to that poster personally, but people who post those signs, be they for records, weight loss, home sales or whatever, are just the worst.

It was selling for that much 15 years ago.
