Why is it wrong? If someone wants to pay that much they get a record they really want and the guy gets $500 bucks. If no one wants to pay that much than that's that, no one is being forced to buy it at gunpoint.
let me rephrase that for you then. don't sell vinyl for $500 if all its gonna do is change hands, make people money and at the end of the day remain in a box and not be played. just my two cents. feel free to continue being a part of the madness....
So a $500 LP is wrong but a $500 base ball card is okay? how does that work? Is a $500 collectable spoon that someone's grandma buys okay? how about a poster? If people want to collect stuff and they are willing to pay the price then what's the big deal?

i don't own any records. no record player. i think collectors are absurd. be they poster fiends, vinyl losers, or baseball card dorks. i don't understand why anyone would want a record they will never play, let alone pay that kind of money for it. but if there are morons out there willing to pay it, then more power to the guy charging it.

I don't know if I ever had the money to buy Detective Comics #27 (which was the first appearance of Batman) I probably wouldn't read it. How is not playing a really rare record any different?

okay what if whoever purchases a $500 record plays it. Is it worse to play it then not play it? I am not following you. I for one would play it.
Hell I am listening to Devo "New Traditionalists" on vinyl as I type this.
its capitalism, if something really is worth that much to someone and they find a person willing to sell than what's wrong with that??? nobody is forcing you to buy anything so why do you care that much?

Peace, Love.

It's not for me...but who am i to judge how someone spends their money? I'm sure there are people that would think im crazy for spending $200 to frame a $30 poster...

I understand the frustration, the benny hall vinyl is the only one that i'm missing and i know that if i want to complete my collection i will have to pay at least 700 $ for a sealed copy.. That said, i don't understand why you think that baseball cards should be more valuable than rare vinyls, it's only a matter of points of view..
I found that a tad funny. Id rather pay 500 bucks on a piece of vinyl that plays music then a 4 inch piece of paper that has a picture of some dude on it with his name.
I bought mine for $35 and never intended to play them. At the time I couldn't efford some snack bowls. I ended up with 4 bowls. At $8.75 apiece. It was a great deal.
Ironically, a vinyl record has more intrinsic value than a baseball card. I mean, what is a baseball card? -- cardboard and ink, basically.
That being said, I collect both vinyl and baseball cards, and both bring me joy, so who is anybody else to question what I decide to do with my own money?
What's your reasoning?

Whats nice is they each can hold a whole 1 pound bag of chips! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think those chip bowls would be worth $200.00 each. When friends say nice bowls, I tell em "at 180 gram vinyl they should be nice. Have some more chips"!

So let me get this straight. Let's say, hypothetically, if you had a sealed Benaroya Hall vinyl that you got for $35 from 10c back in 04 and you family fell into some hardship or something and you needed money fast, you wouldn't sell it for $700 or 800, the current going rate, but you would sell it for $35 cause it's wrong to make money off something. That's what it sounds like you're saying. My dad has a 1971 Oldsmobile he bought new in 71 for like 5,000. it's worth around 35-40,000 now. Nothing to do with records, I know, but collectors items appreciate in value over time and it's not a crime to sell them for more than you paid. Who cares what the new owner does with them.
WTF!
How do you figure baseball cards ARE worth $500??
Well, a Honus Wagner just sold for over a million. http://www.go-star.com/antiquing/hwagner2.htm
An extreme example sure, but cards regularly sell for quite a bid depending on rarity and condition.

You do know that the cd and the vinyl sound exactly the same, right (as far as I know, the show was only digitally recorded)?
Play the cd, save the sealed vinyl and then sell it to some schill who is willing to pay a premium for some more PJ cred. Then play the cd again while you light your cigars with hundred dollar bills.

paying $500 for a baseball card that's gonna sit in a small little glass casing is a waste if you ask me
people get joy out of owning them for whatever reason
the market dictates the price, if someone enjoys why does it matter to you?
I cant believe some of the prices either, but power to those with the cash to indulge their material wants.
