Seriously fuck vinyl!

Stumbled across a random seller in Texas. Expensive stock and an ironic title for this CD they want $150 for

How can you have over 80k items listed and 62k of them are over $40?? Pure greed

this guy’s a clown, i have him blocked as a seller. here’s some examples of what he’s asking for some of the records on my wantlist:

Was just going to say the same. He has a ton on my want list, including several copies of a normally cheap INXS record for $200… :roll_eyes:

Beginning to get pretty sick of forking out excessive amounts for 12’s that turn up with an inlay and no sleeve. Absolute piss-take

Might be the guy who lists everything and then buys other copies before getting the person he buys from to send you the record.

That’s such a dick move. Who could be arsed doing that.

from what i can tell, it’s a physical store (or at least it’s using photography of a physical store on the discogs landing page). my guess is that dude’s just one of those predatory ‘if you want it bad enough, you’ll pay’ type guys.

way back in the days of GEMM i used to price stuff way high, only because GEMM was such a pain in the ass and i wanted to make any sales that i did off their site worth my while. this is different though - he’s at least twice as expensive as anyone else, and for no reason at all.

£20 maybe. £35 is a bit silly.

go for the Musk edit. Waaaay better. And cheapish on the cogs

Ridic. As Buzzin says the Musk edit is the one. The only two Sade edits worth having are this and the Larkin / Pullen 12.

i picked this up ages ago for a dollar or something like that, i think both are quite nice, i always end up putting them on a lot slower.

A snip compared to this. £45 for 12 min of music :joy:

Do I need another Sade edit, I asked myself? Can I afford another ambitiously priced Claussell / Dope Jams bootleg?

No, but I still bought the bloody thing. I really like it.

I like it to be fair. Not too sped up and understated. £35 though. My Juno orders usually hover about £2 over £75 for obvious reasons and this would push it that little bit too much. :joy:

“Kontrabad” good title. It sounds quite nice tbh but these prices..

Jockey Slut or whoever should do a Viz style comic strip- Joey Claws-well ‘and his exceedingly large, cash grabbing pincers’

It’s a great track. A decent reissue of the album can be had for less, unless of course you want the JC version.
