    Ten, Vs, Vitalogy don't grab crazy amounts opened, between $15-30. After that No Code through Avocado will get more. Some people see them in record stores for under $30 but I never have. I was forced to buy my PJ vinyl on ebay. LOTL and RVM can grab upwards of $100 opened. Most will say that these are overinflated ebay prices, but most record stores who get a hold of rare albums put them on ebay anyways and they never see the shelves. Good luck in you're search though.

    True. There were pretty generous quantities pressed of the first three albums. From No Code on, they were quite limited. I posted in another thread that I saw TWO brand new Avocado LPs in an indie store a couple months ago. I think it was part of the guy's original stock and for whatever reason they were just sitting there still. I think that was a super-rare instance, but it goes to show you never know what you will stumble upon.

    In related news, there is a music expo here in Upstate SC this Saturday. I've been to these before and found a lot of HTF stuff. I have a shimmer of hope that I will find that elusive Binaural vinyl, which is the only one I do not own

    Yeah dude I saw 2 new Avocado vinyls in a record store a few weeks back for 29 bucks each.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    These two I saw were $18.99 each. A steal either way, considering I was just searching through PJ LPs on ebay and one guy has an Avocado Buy It Now for $150, and another has one for $85

    well if they repress them (like the rumors say) then prices will drop big time.

    Not necessarily true. The original pressings will still fetch considerably more. For instance: Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger was re-issued on vinyl a few years back. You find those everywhere for around $20 still sealed. The original pressing on yellow vinyl still brings upwards of $100. Collectors seem to care about things like that.

    Now, if you just wanna hear the album on vinyl then yeah, you'll find one for much less :) I personally don't believe those re-issues are going to happen though

    To get a fairly good idea, just search ebay completed auctions. :)

    Well you just explained why the original was worth much more then the re-pressing (it's on yellow vinyl and limited I assume). Collectors thrive on variations from the norm (numbered editions, colored vinyl). Original versions of the albums won't be different then the re-pressing and once they become readily available then the price of the original will fall..not a ton..but it will fall.
