There may be a similar thread already but I couldn't find anything doing a couple of searches so...

Prompted by this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4722319093&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

WTF?? I think I may well be selling my copy soon, I could probably get hold of the original LP for a few quid quite easily!!

Apparently the Raincoats & Au Pairs 1st albums go for a lot too (I have both of them as well!).

So, any other stupidly overpriced CDs I should think about selling??

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Hell, that's a reissue anyway!

"Hello, Overground Records, like?"

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I know, and it doesn't even have the Safety Net or Shopping Parade EP's on it! (they were on 53rd & 3rd and Subway records so I guess licensing was difficult?)

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

The Au Pairs' first album is in my local crap emporium for £5 on vinyl - is this the format that eBay is going nutso for, or just CD?

― DJ Mencap0))), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Just the CD, I think, sorry.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

The best thing I ever sold on Ebay was a 7" I found for 50p that turned out to be a side-project of someone out of Bauhaus and a cartoonist whose name escapes me called the Sinister Ducks. Sold it for £62!!

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:47 (twenty-one years ago)

and a cartoonist whose name escapes me

Alan Moore.

― mark e (mark e), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

The Au Pairs 1st album version that fetches lots is the RPM version with all the singles on it.

The Raincoats 1st album doesn't go for that much - you should get it for £15. There seem to be lots about.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

The Northside album always fetches £20 on CD!

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess these are the sorts of things you don't know until it happens on e-bay.

Like the "Let's play Domination" CD, I didn't know it was a hard-to-find item until the recent chat about its existance here. Whether that makes it a 'big bucks on e-bay' item, I wouldn't know unless I sold it there. Which isn't going to happen unless I find more...

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

oh dear lord. and all hala strana releases are essentially the same. the noo wired amrikuh stuff does bring in obscene amounts of money. $60-75 for a cdr that came out less than a year ago and probably isn't even out of print? WHY NOT!

mutiilation's vampires of black imperial blood (and various other obscure french 'black legions' metal stuff like vlad tepes) used to regularly go for $120+ each.

yeah, the late-80's early-90's rap stuff on CD that is out of print really goes for a lot these days. i sold the first poor rightous teachers cd for 35 bucks. i got it at the thrift store for a dollar. that stuff isn't really that hard to find either at pawn shops and in used cd racks. i mean, they made a zillion of them. there used to be a great soundtrack list. crazy prices for 80's & 90's film soundtracks that were out of print. Newsies was a big one for a while.

I have that Main Source CD! Too bad it's out of print, everyone should own one.

late-80's early-90's rap stuff on CD that is out of print really goes for a lot these days.

My Two Kings In A Cipher CD (I've never met anyone who bought this as well) doesn't seem to worth much though (wake up, people! lost classic alert! ;-) and Showbiz & AG's Runaway Slaves isn't up for sale (maybe it's THAT RARE!). Not that I'm particularly looking to part with these. If need be, I can always get rid of some Motown Junk!

Opal's Early Recordings was going for over $100, the last I see on Ebay was $65. In the age of file-sharing, I can't imagine paying more than $25ish for a single disc (ie what I paid for Early Recordings from an Amazon seller at Christmas).

68 pounds and change for London Weekend by Another Sunny Day? harvey normally commands higher than normal prices but...

couple of Blueboy 7" singles have just gone for odd prices too - Sarah 99 for Â£31, Sarah 65 for Â£36. Â£36 for Saropoly! Â£33 for Sarah 9, Â£17 for Sarah 10, Â£33 and counting for Sarah 2 with 4 days left.

― koogy wonderland (koogs), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 07:55 (nineteen years ago)

That Another Sunny Day album always goes for a lot. I think it's gone for £100+ on occasion.

It's lucky for me that most of the Sarah releases I actually like aren't very expensive (Boyracer, Action Painting, Even As We Speak etc) - they usually go for about a fiver.

So, I bought a used, good-condition copy of the first Brides of Funkenstein album on CD for 13 Euros...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ATGCVW04L._SS500_.jpg

The guy at the record store mentioned it's a rare Japan-only reissue, so I checked Amazon, and saw that the lowest price for even an used copy was over 150 dollars(!). Do some people actually buy these ridiculously-priced rare CDs, or are the folks who sell them at Amazon just hoping to come across the lone fool who would invest such an amount for a CD? Because I might seriously consider selling the album if you can make over 100 bucks on it; it's not even that good a record (though the second track is really nice).

― Tuomas, Monday, 20 December 2010 23:03 (fifteen years ago)

I think your second scenario is the one.

Set it up for "over 100" and leave it, see what happens. If it sells within 6 months, there you go.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 21 December 2010 09:59 (fifteen years ago)

I have sold quite a few CDs in the £20-50 price range on Amazon UK and discogs, so it definitely does happen.

The most expensive was via my work where we found a copy of one of the early Biffy Clyro EPs from before they made it big, released on the local college music course label back in 1999 or so, and sold that for about £130. Which was nice.

two months pass...

I just bought a used copy of this from a dealer in the UK for about 10 bucks to replace a new albeit defective one I found at a record store last week for $13.

Free Shipping tho. I had to pay the limey 3 dollars.

This is very mysterious:

I had a look at what he has on sale, (one of the biggest list of 'current' items I've ever seen on there) and there's a whole bunch of stuff (books, CDs, etc) that have prices like this, even going into the tens of thousands.

Anyway, going into 'completed' items, I find that a couple of $1,000 books have apparently sold. One, a "tips for games for toddlers" which could never be worth that much, even if it had been written by JD Salinger..

So, I go to the 'detail' page for the sale, and it shows the purchaser (masked) and that they paid $34.

Something very fishy about this...... Is this some sort of "get big refund as things didn't sell" scam?
