I've noticed this recently when buying rare vinyls on Ebay.
Bought some quality vinyl-only tunes from 2000-2003, some from famous compilations and it felt like a steal getting them for £5-10 each. |

get your point, but i mean, most mp3 releases are CHEAPER than a record release, are they not? so how would you get ripped off? |
I don't know, I just don't like the idea. |

you can still get your $12 per vinyl, but its the rarities in general that droped in price. |

I'm curious about the fact what it's gonna do in the future.
For example:
A few years ago you bought a nice vinyl for 15 euro on eBay. Now you can find the same record for 5 euro. What would it be in about 2 years or something? Will the price be around 2 euro, will it stay on 5, or maybe the price will rise again to 10?
Who can say... |

$12 per vinyl? I think that's way too much. Depeding on which records of course... |

you're right. when buying it, u can easily compile a legal cd of fav tracks. when mixing with cd-r's, it's a great advantage, i think. however, i dont use cd-r's. right now i stick to vinyl.
anyway, plz stay on topic. discussing all this is good, but plz lets stick to the topic ... share ur thoughts ;)

vinyl market is decreasing, theres no doubt about that. But i think that SOME tracks that are very very veeeery good always get a vinyl release cus people who release know that this track is worth the expenses of vinyl pressings and distributing. |
good point bro. vinyl is still a worthy medium to release music on. however, this discussion (vinyl vs digital formats (cd's/mp3's) has been made numerous times too ..

there is a way to get good prices. first, its a plus to have a good feedbackprofile when selling stuff. next to that, dont sell to large quantities at 1 time, but neither too less. selling stuff from a circum period/year, style, or just records that 'fit' together, gains higher prices too. for example, selling a couple of records that are all wanted/rare a lot, wont gain such high prices, but on the other hand, selling a list of records with no or just a few rarities wont either gain high prices, at least, thats what it seems like.
there is a way (which can, i think, only be understood be knowing the record-market, on eBay for example) where ending-prices are still pretty decent
however, quoting waxhead, the prices are still not that way as it was some years ago ... |

in the context discussed in this thread, its about when you sell a record (mostly on eBay discussed). not when you buy it in a record-store ... |

| Vinyl is dead guys, has been for a while. Good riddance as far as I'm concerned. |

If the record is in mint condition, should it lose value because you are not purchasing it from a "record store"?
For all you know most tracks in record shops could be 2nd hand and you may never know. |
