The Vinyl Thread: Still Listen On Wax, Don't Use The CD

[epilogue]

How realistic are the market numbers on discogs? I'm finally getting around to inputting my modest collection and I'm stunned by how much discogs says I can get out of some of these records. Those numbers can't be right, right?

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.

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

I'll give you $200 for your Benaroya Hall

I'M NOT LOOKING TO SELL IT RANGI

That's $200 NZD - think about it!

Are you still thinking about this Joey?

Yes

THINKING ABOUT HOW ABSURD YOUR OFFER IS!!! HAHAHA

That's right, absurd. I can offer $200 Canadian dollars.

A bidding war! Now we're cooking!

I politely decline. Epilogue should be aware that the Canadian dollar currently trumps the aussie dollar, and as such is the more valuable offer.

I was only aware of this album about a week ago, had a listen to a few of the tracks, and it sounds as if it's an alternate universe Best Of for these guys
