the Soulstrut factor revisited...

I've noticed one thing... even people with no clout here, if they talk about a record it pops up online quick-fast. I've seen certain records that I would have been searching for (in the street and online) for a minute and I would have liked the jawn to stay quiet to cop a copy and bam!!!... someone mentions it here and all these copies surface. And of course they go for way more than I'd be willing to pay at any given time.
This is a powerful place.

In a way, I want to say it fucks up the game, but then again... I've learned a lot around these parts. I can't hate. So I have to wait 6 months for the buying fervor of a record to die down... that's fine.
I wish I was as heavy as cats here, I could benefit on the selling tip. I just don't have multiple copies of crazy records at my disposal. Props to y'all.

I dont follow the soulstrut hype as much as some I suppose..but what are some examples of records getting hyped up here, just to be sold a week later on Ebay for noticeably more than usual? I know ive seen some cases of this..which I cant really think of right now..but I am curious to what some of the more obvious ones are/were.
As a seller on eBay I get lots of return customers who I notice bid on a lot of other soulstrut posters' auctions. there are surely people who come around here to read about records & check the sales forum withot posting. I suppose this would be the very definition of "taste making", no?
yeah I have definately noticed the lurkers doing their thing on ebay. I was just curious of certain records or whatever that was drastically impacted by the Soulstrut Brigade.
I'm not as convinced that specific records have been drasticly affected in price so much as opinions on soulstrut are being noticed in general. I believe that hanging out here & plugging my auctions I'm able to get better prices for the stuff I have that really isn't all that "hot"...
