I paid $300 for one once..... worth every penny to me... btw it was not a PJ lp

on a bright side if all the bonehead record stores throw them up on ebay the price will go dramatically.....

they are dumb to think they can cash in like some have, the more that are available the less they will fetch..... just trying to be positive

And then he says, ''well I could sell you one for $120.00''. I'm giving you a deal on it he tells me. I laughed and said, ''oh how nice of you''. I hung up the phone. LOL

But I did get one reserved from another store last nite. It's for my uncle who is a total vinyl fan and PJ fan now, thanks to me. hehe

He called me the first time after listening to the ITW soundtrack. He told me, ''I dig Eddie on this soundtrack''

I spent $300 for a hotel room in Vegas.

If that puts things in perspective, I'd rather have the lp now though.

I'm glad Amoeba Records here in LA isn't that much greedy..
their copies lasted about a week.. and as far as I know, there were only 20 copies.. I got one btw.

This is probably a different viewpoint than most, but to me its a piece of plastic. I love the album - I bought it off itunes to get the extra tracks, and bought a CD to have the artwork, and support my local store. I don't need it on vinyl that I wouldn't play anyway, and I certainly don't need to spend upwards of $100 for it. You can still hear the music without spending that much. Again, it looks like I'm probably the only one that thinks this way, but oh well.

you should top that record and spend $400.00. I just ran across this...

I pay $300 for benaroya LPs, around $100 for no code, yield and LO2L.
I was lucky and had ITW for $20 (10C) but if not, I would be able to pay $100 or $150, although I don't like the idea of people selling it for that price. But if I had to chose between having it for $125 or not having it, I'd pay...

They know that a huge market is going to exist for this kind of stuff, so why not at least try to satisfy that market. .

Then it wouldn't be a limited edition. The record company decided they wanted to have a 'collectible' and they did. Limited editions happen all the time in the art world - music is just another form of art.

all i know is that out of 15-20 record stores in chicago.....i have yet to find this album on a shelf....

General release is on the 29th so wouldn't expect them to be on the shelves yet.

i called 2 local records stores this morning to check pricing.

both told me they 'weren't sure' what they were going
to end up charging for the record, stating it would depend on the demand.

interesting. i think i'm beginning to see a trend.

a trend i don't like.

10c should do a better job of preventing these sorts of windows for crooks to make money.
