Assuming you are putting in the correct pressings?

I wouldn’t put a ton of faith in them. It’s better to look into the historical sales of each album.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'm not looking to sell anything any time soon. I was just curious. I think I've done a good/careful job of inputting the right pressings. But maybe not.

Honestly, I think the market has been a bit inflated over the past year. People have been buying so much online that there isn't much stock left in these stores. 'Snatcher is right, make sure to look at what things have actually sold for as opposed to what they're listed at.

What's an example of something that's more expensive than what you thought? Ask B, I like to do a little edition investigating.

My Empire Records soundtrack, Idler Wheel, and several PJ records all list over $100. All of that seems bananas. Benaroya Hall is like $4,000

Honestly - I know nothing of football, so wouldn't be able to give you a reasoned answer there

Benaroya is not surprising. Neither is Fiona Apple or Pearl Jam, if you're talking first pressings or rater items (Lost Dogs, PJ 20, etc.).

Here's the most inexplicably valuable item in my collection: https://www.discogs.com/Alexi-Murdoch-T ... se/7358570

I think Lost Dogs is my most valuable according to Discogs

I know I've still missed some, but this inspired me to update my list on Discogs. So thank you!

I haven't even input my original pressings of Lost Dogs or PJ20 yet...

That Alexi album is bonkers. I guess if I find that floating around somewhere I need to pick it up.

I bought that Alexi Murdoch record 5 years ago for $26 and thought I overpaid at the time.

I don't vinyl but that Alexi Murdoch album is a corker. Listened to it just the other night as a matter of fact.
