Guest The Journey Man Project Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 it means it is being sold second hand for that price I think... why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abasio Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 It means someone values your work very highly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el brujo Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 it means creative musicians like yourselve and people like me will never figure out how to make decent money even out of things we ve done ourselves, there will always be people who knows something we do not know or we do not want to see that makes money out of everything, they ll be happier when you die so that your cd s are worth more...

Trolsk Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 What does this mean? 597221[/snapback] Low supply + high demand = high price It also implies that we want that new OOOD album ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsu Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Is this a common price on ebay for the old OOOD albums or are the trying to rip the people off?! If yes, I need to look for doubles to sell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathPosture Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 It's prolly an extension of the VERY inflated prices on old-school, hard-to-get goa trance of the nineties... A trend that has been haunting Ebay for years, and in recent months also Discogs Marketplace and now apparently Amazon too... I wonder how many people actually pay these extremely high prices on such not-really-rare items? I know it's all about supply and demand and of course there will always be items reaching incredible prices... But the trend lately, is that sellers are advertising EVERYTHING released before 2000 at those inflated prices... That really sucks! /DP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Crop Circles Lunar Civilisation was also recently sold for a very VERY low price among piles of crap, no keywords etc. But yeah, that's an outrageous price. Good album though!

Guest antic Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well, it's a wonderful CD but definitely not worth 90GBP!!! I know for a fact that it's still being sold in Israel at Tower Records, because I got one from there courtesy of PsyGoatDelic few months ago... Also Colin is selling them 10GBP a piece if I remember correctly, with new artwork... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 C'mon, people. Can't you see that it's actually Colin selling his own CDs through the guise of a money-grubbing American? Sheesh. I saw through it the second I saw it. Nice try, Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin OOOD Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 LOL I've seen it sell on eBay for £35 but this surprised me indeed. Gotta agree with whoever said it's not worth that much but in the end, things are worth what people are willing to pay for them... however this obviously has nothing necessarily to do with their actual value.

Guest antic Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Come to think of it, it's really unfair to the artist how high the prices on eBay may go, yet they don't get 0.01$ from it... In ideal world, eBay should develop a system which transfers a percentage of price over it's initial value to the artist, for example if new Breathing Space CD costed 10GBP when it was released, if it's now sold at 25GBP then artist should receive say 25% of that extra 15GBP - that'd make sense... But it's very unlikely something like that will ever happen... On the other hand, in really ideal world such CDs should be readily available in normal stores, then we wouldn't have that problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should not be compensated by forcing the customer to pay for the product again. Sorry for being an ass about this, but it's not an ideal solution.

NEMO.BOFH Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hey nemo, wanna sell one? 597444[/snapback] I would, if I wassnt so greedy (j/k), the problem is that i am obsessed with my records, and the ones that I have with plastic still wrapped around them I will never sell (I think these are, i will have to look when I am in Sweden again). IF there is a copy that is brand new, but without plastic, I will sell it for sure, and youre first in the row of getting it!! Im sorry to be such a collectors asshole Colin, 24% OK?!

It would work if Ebay and the likes would work together with STIM (Sweden) and MCSP (Is it that in England anyone), they could monitor the sales, together with eBay... blah blah, it will never happen though, because then you would have records like Elvis Presleys first promo for instance for 100212398124123978123 dollars, and then the percentage goes to who? Dont tell me the label, and please do not tell me to the publisher hehehe... Its not IMPOSSIBLE though, but it would take a lot of work to get something like that going. I like the idea of getting artists money though, they for sure fucking deserve more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
