So what's the deal with dudes who ONLY want sealed records? I am NOT dissing. I'm just curious what the psychology is going on there. I mean, these dudes seem kind of next level with how much they're willing to ball on LPs just b/c they're sealed.Peep game: http://cgi.ebay.com/OST-ON-ANY-SUNDAY-SOUNDTRACK-FUNK-BREAKS-RARE_W0QQitemZ4792918199QQcategoryZ306QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Frank-Motley-and-the-Hitch-Hikers-SEALED-ORIG-LP_W0QQitemZ4798499600QQcategoryZ306QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    a whole 'nother level of distrust for the grading of ebay dealers.

    What's even crazier is a few customers of mine never open sealed records....don't care much about the music....their "collections" are "investments"....makes me sick.

    Noz,

    I don't think it's as simple as that. There's something about the "sealed-ness" that's at issue. It's like virgin LP worship.

    Ok, now I'm sorry I just went there.

    Says yeah, $500 is pretty fucking high for this album. The Frank Herbert goes for closer to $450.

    those people would qualify for my first response.

    What's lamer (in my opinion) is people calling me up telling me they sold a signed Queensryche LP for $150 on eBay. WHY, "THEY MUST BE WORTH SOMETHING!"

    Then again, that's kind of radd. Non-collectros, getting that mad money, yo!

    i actually am reluctant to buy sealed records, cuz of the possibility of warpage.

    Well, the dude's condition description was a little wonky. But $100 would be a pretty decent price assuming this was in VG+ or better condition.
