goN' LPs at $10, I can buy for $0.18


I just wonder who would buy the piles of LPs listed in the classified that are common stuff. I can buy (and HAVE) many of these $10 wonders. I paid around $0.23 or $0.18 each for these LPs.
I mean stuff like Hall & Oats, Cars...(I got them all at $0.18 each)
I have like 2,000 LPs I paid under a quarter each for, as mint as can be! I COULD start listing them, trying to make a killing (as some seem to be trying to do), but I would be listing them at $1.00 and STILL feel I was robbing the blind.
I can understand the rarer MFSL etc, but the classifieds ads should have a charge for being placed, even $0.50, to cut the flood of junk filling the LP classified!!!

I don't really want to start fussing with you over this because I know your opinion won't change. My question is how many times are you going to start a thread saying the same old stuff? We all know the prices for vinyl here have put a burr under your saddle and you don't like the free ads, but it seems to me, it's like television. If you don't like it, don't look.

I've bought a number of albums here and each one has been nearly perfect, professionally cleaned and placed in poyletheylene inner sleeves and plastic outer sleeves. I double dog dare you to do the same and sell them for a buck. Try walking in their shoes for a change and posts your results. Now, that would be a new thread!
Yes it is annoying, to look for something I might want, and have to slog through mountains of trash, (Just like at the thrift stores!)
I am pointing out to those who care to read that most are overpriced junk!
And the same goes for this post, by the way, "If you don't like it, don't look."
I have purchased LPs on Audiogon also, and find the going pretty tough.
At least on eBay, I can just look at "Jazz" LPs or "classical" LPs.
And I just might sell some M- LPs IN A polylined new sleeve AND a 5 mil new outer... Because I am in this because it is a hobby... not a cash growing machine!
Elizabeth I could not agree more. The prices of LPs here is outrageous! I rarely see anything special about the LPs except the price they are charging. I have purchased hundreds of LPs on Ebay, but I can't recall buying any here. I guess we're preaching to the choir though.
I think it would help if sellers would post many albums in 1 ad instead of 50 individual ad's.Save a lot of listing space and quicker to read.Listing common albums is a waste of time unless sealed possibly.JD
Elizabeth,

I too agree with you. I'm so sick of "Hi my name is Simon, and yes I have gone to the dark side, I could shit"! Not only are the prices outrageous but the sales pitch lacks creativity.
