you know the one thing that i dont get is folks who buy collectibles and question how absurd it is to buy old vinyl records for $1000-5000-10,000+. were on the low end scale of collectibles. really compared to a lot of collectibles on ebay, vinyl records arent that expensive. it seems like it sometimes but im just as surprised when i see rare book dealers or shit even stuff like beanie babies. those still make money and you can only look at them. i guess you could play with them but im not sure how toy/doll collectors get down. anyway, just saying... paying huge sums of money for a unique piece where you may be one of 5 or 10 people to own one... or shit, be the only owner of a record. whats that worth?... only as much as the next man is willing to pay for it.
no, i hear you -- believe me, if i could spend thousands, i would (although i can't think of too many thousand dollar records i want,,, maybe braen's machine). what i was really trying to get at is whether there is a profile for these consumers. i mean is it matt dillon? or is it some crusty dude maxing out his credit card?
oh and that wasnt directed at you homie. but i see folks write stuff like that on other msgbds and i was just commenting.
some folks will come to a record show with $1000 in their pocket and walk away with 200 or so records. therell be others there that walk away with 20. still others will walk away with 10. theres always someone though who will be all smiles after dropping his wad on a single piece or two. doesnt matter if dudes a meter maid or a doctor. it all just matters on how comfortable you feel with dropping all your money on a single piece that youll be able to go home and listen to. just sayin, anyone could do it but many dont have that much desire for a single piece or feel okay with a reissue or a comp or these days an mp3. real collectors dont see dollar signs they only see gaps in their collection.

Hahahaha! OM told me about that. Classic comedy.
wasnt one of these for $500? I remember you sold one for around that...that was what had my head spinning....ahh the old days...when ebay was kinda tough to work with...but, worked....and paypal was a shit stain in someone's drawers...soon to be examined and spread amongst the innerworkings of ebay...almost melding with it...and yet...somehow not it (seems they get to pick and choose when they are affiliated or not)...that shit is like cold-fusion...I don't get it...
