Is this a good deal?

Better Dan

A friend is offering to sell me No Code, Yield, Live on Two Legs, Binaural, and Riot Act all sealed for $365. This comes out to $73/LP. Is this a pretty good deal? I'll have to work hard to justify to my wife why I spent that much for 5 records.

alngtheway

um, yes. that is a very good deal. :shock:

If you can't justify the full price tag to your wife, I would buy the set and then sell 1 or 2 of the albums on the 10C boards.

It would be a win-win. You get the vinyl that you can afford at a great price and you help someone in the 10C get a good deal too.

That is a fantastic deal, and I would just at that in a heartbeat for those at that price.

that is a great deal. i had sold my lps of no code (sealed), pearl jam (sealed), and riot act (near mint) for $350.

Better Dan

Thanks for your responses. I thought it would be a good deal for Binaural, Riot Act, and Two Legs alone as those seem to be rarer. He also has Lost Dogs and Benaroya but has no plans to include those as part of the "special"

That is an extraordinarily good deal.

All sealed and in mint condition... I'm salivating thinking of it.

I'm also jealous.

I dont think my friend could finish the sentence offering those vinyls for that price, even if it was 500, even maybe 600 i would jump and snatch them up REALLY fast.. that price is just insane. Wish it happened to me!

wow, this is awesome! lucky guy! enjoy your records. and eh ... pm me if your wife gets mad and you want to make some money back haha

That is an amazing deal. The Binaural lp alone regularly goes for north of $200. Riot Act is always up there in the 200 range as well. Binaural on vinyl would be my holy grail. I'd jump on this faster than you could imagine. Do it! It's a great offer.

I am happy you found these albums for cheaper than usual but I cannot help but think it is ridiculous how much these albums sell for. These are the regular studio albums- nothing that should be rare or expensive.

I agree. For a band that loves vinyl so much their albums shouldn't be so rare. I hope they are all re-released soon so that everyone can have them.

sealed? they are pretty rare though thats the thing. plus vinyl is collectable esp 1st pressings and i guess the consumer sets the price. if people are prepared to pay it then thats what people charge.

I did not realize they were sealed but for other bands I can find 1st pressings (opened near mint or very good) of their albums for maybe $50. I realize the consumer sets the price and I am not bashing anybody who buys these albums, I am just surprised that paying hundreds of dollars for a few tunes is considered a good deal by so many people.

I see your point - on the surface why is one record so valuable or why would someone think hundreds of dollars is a good deal for one album? But value is determined by consumers. These albums have a very low supply and very high demand, so they're expensive. I've never been into comic books, for example, and would tend to question why someone would pay so much money for older/rare comics, but I understand the mentality I guess. Just like records or posters. You could say the same about baseball cards or cars, etc.

I love PJ and I love vinyl so I'm personally willing to spend a bit more there. I'd dying for a copy of Binaural and Avocado but can't justify the cash for them on my current budget. But if I had the money, I'd buy them without any reservations. On the flip side, I'd never in my life pay half a million dollars for any car, even if i were a billionaire. That's just me - not a car guy. But I guess I see why some people would.
