    That pretty much sums it up. There is a difference between value and price. There is also a difference between accounting profits and economic profits. Economic profits mostly determin if transactions take place. In normal cases, transactions will only occur if both parties benifit econoimically. If my willingness to accept (the lowest I'd sell it for) is lower than another person's willingness to pay (the most they would pay for it), there is a possibility for an exchange and we both profit. I'd profit because I'd get more (even if it's $.01) than I was willing to accept, and they would profit since they would get it for less than they were willing to pay.

    Where this starts to get nasty is when people are taken advantage of. I don't think this is the case since there is no coersion and no abuse of power or information. This typically happens when people withold or hoarde resources such as gas, food, housing, etc to artificially drive up the price and profit more. In this case only one side economically profits.

    But honestly, this is a vinyl record. It's not like the music isn't out there. The CD and MP3's are readily available.

    Exactly! The LP is a collectible item, the music is available in other formats, so if someone wants the vinyl so really bad is because he/she recognice how special it is.

    I think what it boils down to is if you want it, you want it for the original price in 2007. If you have it, you want to get fair market value for it. I don't blame the OP for asking his price. Fuck, Pearl Jam now charges $80 for a ticket on their tour when 15 years ago it was $25. No one seems to bitch about that. People spent over $600 to see all 4 Philly shows without batting an eye yet when a very desirable record to PJ fans is up for sale, they refuse to consider paying a cent more than it was when it came out almost 2 years ago. The more time passes, the more $$$ this will fetch. So the people who are holding off waiting for the $35 special to pop up can keep dreaming. In 10 years, $250 will look like a bargain.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    when you buy a car and pay $30,000 fpr it ...drive it for 15 years put 100,000 miles on it ..... you then put it up fr sale and ask $30,000 I DIDNT THINK SO ...now take that same car put it in a "frame" never use it , sit in it. etc etc etc...its still worth $30,000 IF NOT MORE TO A COLLECTOR .....you know what the key word there was ... COLLECTOR ..... you guys need to stop this whole TRUE FAN THING...its bullshit... EVERYTHING AND I MEAN EVERYTHING has a price ...even a persons life....if we are willing to pay for it its ours .... people just get pissed cause they want it and cant afford it....

    its has been a very very rough few months on this board ...people yelling at each other over the dumbest shit....we all need to take a chill pill sit back and listen to the music... not freak out cause johnny over there is not sharing or katie over hear is selling something to more then likely PAY HER BILLS!!!!!!!!!!

    FYI:
    for the record if i had the money i would buy the ITW lp and put it up on EBAY the second i got it.cause god knows i can sell it for at least $350-400 ....why you ask cause i already have 4 of them and need MONEY TO PAY MY BILLS.... i got one framed ,i got one im GIVING as a gift and two i play... and let me guess your going to call me a bad fan.....

    Why doesn't everyone mind their own fucking business. The stuff is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

    that's a sweet poster but as you can see, I'm already getting rid of the few posters I have. I wouldn't have any where to put it!

    Met the seller last night, picked up a poster from him. A really good guy if I may say so, and to all who believe that he is trying to rip anyone off with the ITW vinyl.. The vinyl is rare, few were pressed and this makes the item collectible.. Its not about profiting, the value of the item is no longer retail, and will continue to be traded for 250ish as long as there is interest in having something rare. He would be crazy to sell it for retail price, give the guy a break! I would to have it, I just can't tie up the dough.. Good luck!

    Agreed, but let me expound.

    Well the OP is in a place where he can't enjoy his records or posters cause he doesn't have a lot of space, a good system, and he is constantly moving.

    He needs the cash and he is selling these items for very fair prices.

    He said he intends to purchase ITTW again when he has the right situation.

    To expect him to sell his vinyl for $60.00 now and then when he goes to look for one, then what? Pay $300 on eBay?

    That is some fucking bullshit, and it is not how the world works.

    So good luck OP.... hope you unload all your stuff and find it again some other day.

    It was 140 $us plus I think $30 shipping for us up here in Canada. That's 170, which depending on the exchange rate of the day, is more than 180. Anyway I didn't remember the price until I was reminded, I posted I was willing to accept offers, and even though I got advised that the price was lower I didn't change the original post because I didn't even get any offers. It doesn't matter now though, since I gave it to my sister for her birthday.

    I understand what you mean though, I just saw it for sale new in a big box store new for cheaper. I was willing to accept much less, I just never got any offers. I asume most people on here have it all ready

    I will trade you my Dusseldorf poster for your ITW vinyl. I live in Canada and will pay the shipping cost as well
    That's what I did last year. I had an extra ITW, needed Dusseldorf, both parties happy. I think if you trade the ITW for something of equal value people wouldn't be so harsh.
