    It should be what? 2-300? Maybe?

    In my opinion, $250 TOPS.


    Agreed it is super damaged. I mean it is practically just the records.


    Yes, that is fair.

    I feel like that's a bit of an overstatement there. Yeah, there's wear and damage, but I certainly wouldn't say it's "practically just the records". Everything is there, and in one piece.

    I don't know, these guys sell for $800-$1000 pretty regularly. For someone that's going to keep this forever and spin the hell out of it, a $300-$500 discount doesn't seem unreasonable. I'd be surprised if someone doesn't snatch this up fairly quickly.

    Me, I'll just keep enjoying my "inexpensive" download... :D

    You're right to look for as much as you can get but let's be reasonable...it's really in terrible condition and I certainly would be looking at paying no more than $300. If you're looking for $500, I'd much rather save up the extra couple of hundred and get a pretty much mint one. You honestly can't describe a dog chewing the shit out of it as "wear and tear".

    Im not having a go, I just think you need to be more realistic. But maybe someone will buy it...but if there was a benny in better condition for sale for $500, it wouldn't last two seconds without someone snapping it up and it appears no one has yet paid up for yours.

    Obviously it's up to you but, personally, I feel it's way over priced. Best of luck with the sale and if you do reduce the price to something more reasonable, let me know!

    Ok, then...

    I'm out. Good God...$500?? Someday I'll own this, but today is not that day. Unreal.

    +1

    I was willing to go 250 or possibly 3 but 500? C'mon... I'll keep searching. One day I will own it. I wish they would resissue this damn thing so those of us that have been dying to spin it will all get a chance.

    Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $150 for this...then again, I'm a pretty patient person and I can wait for another opportunity to buy this.

    it's a fine line. I open all records because I collect to play, on the flipside I want my records to be in a decent condition and if I was going to be getting a Benaroya I would be wanting it primarily for the music regardless of the packaging. That said, paying a hell of a lot for a record that, lets face it, is in a terrible condition wouldn't work for me.

    I'm sure someone will take this off the OP's hands, but I doubt very much for $500

  • Yeah, I would have the intention of playing these records until they sounded like that box looks :)

    But I'm with you, even though I buy music ot listen to, the packaging can't be destroyed that bad...not for that kind of money anyways.
  • I would never sell the Benny. Just sayin'...

    Not to take things off course, but I have a Vault #1 cd that has been safely stored in my toilet tank since I got back from PJ20. $115 shipped.

    Op is just doing what anyone would do, try and get the most possible

    its clear he's gone way over the top though.

    Let it lie low and then maybe some sense will shine through and the price will be reduced.
  • Hi guys, i know it is a little overpriced but someone send me a pm telling he
    was going to pay that amount, and I was trying to be fair and post it, that way if
    someone else want it could buy it. Well anyway
    I just need the money, so I hate to sell it but I need the money.

    NEW PRICE $450
    I ALSO WOULD TRADE IT FOR THE XMAS COLLECTION

    All of this makes no sense to me. First- $500 and here's my pay pal???? Now it's $450, after most on here are saying it is not worth $350???

    Second- You had a PM that wants to pay that much, but you're dropping the price anyways????

    Lastly- You just need the money, but you will take the Xmas singles???? I am so confused.

    well I am trying to sell this, if someone wants it will buy it for that price.
    I really need the money but I always want that collection, and there is a lot of pm
    that want trades....so I am trying to help people help me, just trying.
    If you can not help me, do not post.
    Please don't be negative, its not that hard to understand. :idea:

  • OK I guess it is too pricey
    So my last offer $400
    "A human being that was given to fly"
  • $300
  • Irish AlIrish Al Posts: 6,236
    Seriously dude I have sent you pm's for a trade/cash of over $400 and you haven't even had the decency to reply, just downright rude...fuck it..I wouldn't deal with you now even if you were up for it
    I need a coffee!
  • pdalowskypdalowsky Posts: 15,075
    There is no excuse for rudeness

    Takes two mins to be courteous and say no thanks that doesn't work for me.

    Given his inability to communicate to what I know was an excellent offer I wouldnt be confident in this trade being fulfilled

    Sorry AL but I did not tell you nothing because what you were offering was not nothing that i want it, and i was clear on what i want it.

    I appreciate that but all you had to say was exactly that to one of my pm's and I could have seen how we could have maybe worked something else out. You have no idea what else I may have been able to do if we had negotiated and at least if you had opened communication we could have possibly seen where we might have met in the middle.

    Let's give it one more try...let me know what parts of my offer won't work for you, and let me see what I can offer instead? Drop me a pm

  • I cant understand how anyone could value this at even $300??

    It only sells for so much, as a collectible....and with so much damage, it really can not be considered a collectible at all right?

    At this point it is worth whatever it means to you, to JUST listen to the records. No other value here.
  • mfc2006mfc2006 Posts: 37,454
    No response to my pm's either, Al. but that's fine. i don't have what he's looking for & there's no way i'd shell out that much for a Benny that beat up. i'll own this someday, though. hope you can make the deal, Al.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I wouldn't bother, man. This thing is worth $150 TOPS.

    Hold out. I'm sure you'll find a copy in good condition without paying an arm and a leg. Also, I believe this vinyl will go back down around the $500 range once the vinyl craze wears off a bit over the next couple of years. Vinyl sales are up 37% this year, this is limited to 2,000 and it is around Christmas shopping time so that's why I think the prices are through the roof. That's my $.02.

    Good luck to you though ;)

    I wouldn't buy that for face.

    So how much did someone pay for this thing?
  • Irish AlIrish Al Posts: 6,236
    Well I offered the $400 asking price and no deal for me :roll: :(

    Ah well onwards and upwards
