Selling Some Vinyl & Posters

I really dont understand where people get off trying to sell ITW vinyl for $250+! Thats insane! Rape actually! I that is the only piece of vinyl besides lost dogs that I would LOVE to have and cherish it for a life time. I wasnt fortunate to get such rare pieces of heaven and cannot justify spending the absurd amounts that people want for them. If its going to a true fan and coming from a true fan- why look to make a profit?

$250 shipped is close to a fair price, not "Rape" by any stretch...

It all depends on how you look at it. If I were to ever part with mine, ( no way that I would ) I would never be able to justify asking that much for it. no matter what the "fair market price" is.

I really wish they would do another , larger run on this one so others can get in on it. I don't care one bit if it makes mine "worth less".

My thoughts EXACTLY! I feel like if someone only played it once and is now looking to get rid of it, never truely was/would have been appreciated it. I too am not wanting to make it into a debate. Just my thoughts and opinions. I know many people that went able to get their hands on something so great. That movie and music seriously affected my life to no end- Cheesy I know!!!

Its the same thing for autographed things or rare items. Why work so hard to get something and then try to make a profit on it. In Philly, there were limited amounts of a certain t-shirt for 1 night. I was one of the first few in line that night and could have easily bought a shit ton and turned around to try so sell them on ebay. But why do that?

That's not what you displayed in your first post.

I will trade you my Dusseldorf poster for your ITW vinyl. I live in Canada and will pay the shipping cost as well

I'm sorry, looking at past ebay auctions, etc, people are willing to consistently pay more than $250 for ITW (and some posters backed that up). So you're saying it's highway robbery because it only cost $35 (I paid $60 after shipping btw). Guess what? things appretiate. Do you tell your real estate agent that you're only going to pay the orginal value a 50 year old mansion? More over, if you own it, do you only ask what you paid for it 50 years ago? That is what is ludacris, my friend.

I'd just put it on ebay, since you're not a real fan. :arrow:

If ITW was worth $2 would people pay you $35 for it? Don't think so.

I'll chime in here as well then..

Obviously there are two sides of this debate here. (And for those who did not want it to be a debate... that idea is gone)

When discussing the "value" of the item. Some people on here are suggesting that the "value" of the item is $35. Which was the "price" of the item. The "value" of the item is determined by many other things. One of those things, and more often the most important thing is demand. Where supply is low and demand is high, value goes up. If people are willing to pay $$$ for something, that should determine the value.

Then there is the whole "true fan" discussion. It's easy to suggest someone is not a true fan for selling an item higher than face value. But really, I think the situation should be taken into context. If someone has something of value, and requires the money, I don't think we should take anything away from that person being a "true fan". We are unaware of the persons need for money, so who are we to judge.

If the vinyl was purchased for $35 on Monday, and then turned on Tuesday and sold for $250... that would be the equivalent of someone purely purchasing the item for profit.

Considering that this person did not do that, stands to reason that his intention when he first purchased the item, was not to re-sell it.

It would be dignified to re-sell the item for what he paid, but not necessarily smart if he does in fact require the funds.

Basically, if the market is there... we shouldn't put the full blame on the seller. The market, and what caused the market should partially be blamed as well.

If Pearl Jam or the Ten Club wanted to avoid this, they would supply more.

If their intention was to create something rare and of value that is precious to people because how little were created, they succeeded. But those items will always have a price on it. Look at Benaroya. An item that somehow shows up on Ebay periodically... and goes for $500+. If someone sold it for $20 because they're a "true fan", you would have "true fans" calling him crazy at the same time.

It's all how you look at it.

Not me, I would think it was one of the coolest things ever if someone sold someone ( anyone, not just me ) a Benny Hall for even $100 .

as I said before, I'm not faulting the seller at all. I just would not feel right about it. But hey, If someone is willing to buy it for the price, so be it.

I guess more than anything what chaps my ass about the ITW thing is that my 15 year old nephew paid for one, and then didnt get it becuase it "oversold".
I even tried to give him mine, but my sister was not having that.
So I have seen first hand how that whole deal went down and how it bummed a lot of people out.
So with that being said, all this time someone could have been enjoying the hell out of the record ( thats what its made for ) but here someone has it, spent $60 bucks on it total, but now wants $250 for it. all the while a young kid now 17, who actually paid for one only to have it not happen is still combing the internet every other day looking for a copy of this still at a decent price.

but whatever. Like I said earlier, there is no right or wrong here. It just all depends on the person and how they look at it.
