Questions about first the 2 Xmas vinyls?

I am trying to collect all the XMas Vinyls as my first triumph in collecting an entire set. All of LP's as we know are far more expensive. I joined the club when Angel came out so I started early but lapsed in the late 90's and early 2000's but those were easy to obtain (just got O2 for cheap). My question is what is a fair price in cost for these two vinyls? The LP's are easier to compare as there is a better median in product. I only saw one Let Me Sleep for $400 (which seems high but accurate as there were only 1500?) and one Who killed Rudolph for $75.00 which also seems high but less accurate. I recently just got another EV vinyl (my third) as my record store guy loves me and knows I'm not a flipper and knows how badly I want these XMas vinyls. He actually called me and told me to come in to get his last one for trade purposes. So I have my one EV vinyl that I'm going to keep (the one I gave away on here for free) and now another one. I don't want or need 2 but no offense I'm not giving another one away for free so I want to try and get one of these Xmas Vinyls. So I guess what I am really saying is I am ISO of one these 2 XMAS vinyls and have a EV 7 inch as a starting point for a trade. I also would give up my Star Anna (got that here) in a trade as the XMas vinyls are more important. Thanks for any help.

    I'd say you can expect to pay in the range of $100-$150 for Let Me Sleep, and $40-$80 for Who Killed Rudolph. If you see any goin for higher I'd say hold out til something better comes along. Use Lost Dogs! There are some awesome people on here, don't be afraid to ask. If someone doesn't have what u need, they might at least keep a look out for you. Good luck on your quest! :D

    Cool thanks I thought that $400 (I would never pay that) was expensive.

    I'm in agreement with these prices. I had been looking for both of these end of last year, was able to snap Let Me Sleep for a little over $100, and I think Rudolph for a little over $40?

    Try looking through all categories too on eBay, not just records. Someone had a packaged deal for both of these listed under "Entertainment Memorabilia" and I think it sold for a really good price! Be patient, don't panic and overpay on eBay. Probably follow some listings on eBay just to get a sense of how much they are going for, and also try looking here.

    I'm in agreement with your agreement Su May :D . Also search the completed listings on ebay under the advanced search and you can see what the records have sold for recently - though often when I do that, I kick myself for stuff I've missed, doh!

    I've seen a couple Let Me Sleeps on ebay recently (as in the last 2-3 weeks) go for $100-150. Historically, they usually fetch about that much, so $400 is way too steep. You can get a Who Killed Rudolph for $50-100, usually more toward the latter end.
