Ebirac Dead Stock
- Thread starter mannybolone
- Start date
All these joints have been selling for money lately. Even with stock floating around they held their value. I guess not that many latin collectors knew of the Numero find.

Yeah basically, should've bought three or four.

I'm not criticizing anyone's game, but I can't help but feel the generous folks at Numero would be a little more gratified if people bought these to enjoy rather than to flip, which they could easily have done themselves.

Well, I was joking but without criticizing the spirit of what you're saying - which I agree with - I think this is impossible to avoid. It's the record equivalent of ticket scalping and however well-intentioned most people are in buying stuff for enjoyment's sake, surely Rob and Ken are smart enough to also realize that some of their sales went to folks with the intention to flip.
But I'm also betting the vast majority of sales were NOT to those people. The small # of "Ebirac speculators" shouldn't spoil the general party.

remember another big point of the set sale was to generate buzz and talk up the Ebirac label in advance of the compilation release. i'd say they suceeded in that regard.

Incorrect. Box of Boricua was the way to get them.

The completed auctions list for these records are grueling. Dudes setting up $200 buy it nows (and not getting it) on records they paid $25/ea for.

They don't have sufficient Latin clout.
Will Numero?
