I dont buy too much PJ on ebay, but I always check the value of my vinyl collection in the world of ebay. ( Both PJ and non-PJ vinyl) On 9/25, two copies of ITW sold for $500 or higher :o with another going for $400 on 9/28. How did it roughly double in value in such a short amount of time? Did the release of Backspacer affect it that much? I had to pay like $75 for my sealed copy maybe 1 1/2 years ago. How high will this LP go for? :)

    I noticed this trend as agree it is very odd that it could spike that much. for a pressing of 2000 its hard to believe a single LP could get up to $500, but I guess who knows. if that is the case think what it may be worth in 20 or 30 years??? but who cares, its about the music.

    How many were pressed of those? 100 or less? Promo or not? I think there is no price too high for a completist. I'm just happy with my white vinyl fixer.

    I am lucky enough to own all three versions and I can 100% honestly say that I am happiest with the UK 180 gram version

    I had to check to see if people actually were stupid enough to pay that much for it, and sadly yes, yes they are.

    ...i paid around $22 bucks for the ITW LP a couple of months ago, at that time it was normally sold for $200, and I thought that i made the the deal of the decade... now i know i made the deal of the century!

    It'll go back down. With people noticing that it is going for $500, they've begun to put more and more up. The other day when reading a thread there were only 2 LP's up. Now there are 4. So more people will think they are going to get $500 for theirs and put them on ebay, but that will bring the price down. I really don't think there is that big of a demand for them right now.
    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    I have an unsealed vinyl copy of "Into The Wild," signed by Eddie on the front cover. I would never sell it, but I'm curious as to what people think it would be worth. Is it worth less because it's unsealed?
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I bought mine in summer of 08 for $200 sealed. I opened it and play it on occasion and I am glad I got my hands on one before the price got too out of control. I could see this thing going for $1,000 in 10-15 years.

    The value would be roughly doubled for the signature as long as it was verified (PSA/DNA) as a real one and not fake, or looked so genuine it couldn't be fake. I got a promo album flat "signed by Eddie" for $1 last spring on ebay because it didn't look as good as a usual for his signature. Signature values are tricky because Eddie's is getting more common these days.
