$1800 for an Australian pressing 12" single... ?? :classic_wacko:
 

I like Depeche Mode but seriously ??? 

If someone was actually willing to pay $1800 for it @mbd I'd be selling it and buying an original UK 12" 45rpm single from $16... 🤑

 

I love Depeche Mode. When I was young, they were one of my favourite bands. I was gutted for days when they cancelled their Melbourne World Violation Tour at Festival Hall. I was ecstatic when I paid a small fortune to a scalper (45 minutes after the show had started) to see them live at Wembley, when they happened to be playing the same week I was visiting London in 1990. I used to where a D🌹M t-shirt like a uniform when I went out - I had several different variations 😆.

 

But, I completely agree that someone paying this much for a copy of Personal Jesus is ... well, not something I would do. I bought it new when it was released. There's nothing special about the tracks on it. It happened to be blue translucent vinyl here. That is what makes this release so special to collectors. If someone wants to trade a sizeable record collection for it, I'm totally okay with that, and will be satisfied buying a black vinyl 12" copy to replace it.

Guys - don't quote crazy prices nobody gets for records.

I see it all the time.

 

The highest actual sold copy is just AUS$1,100 locally for a NM, with most copies selling down to AUS$7-800.

 

I can ask anything I like - it doesn't mean I'm realising the price.

 

People are incredibly smart about this sort of stuff with just about every other commodity.

So I really don't understand why wits records on Discogs, it's always the highest asked price that people blindly quote as what something is 'worth'?

you'd never see this with houses or cars....

We should limit our discussion of crazy discogs prices (on this swap thread anyway) and focus on trading.  I don't want to see that dreaded lock symbol on this thread. 

 

We are just trying to get the swap thread started

It is very relevant for this thread, as these prices then form the basis for the swaps value people request.

But, you're right too.  ✔️

I've added a long list of records that I no longer need to discogs at https://www.discogs.com/lists/Swap-List/846931 - happy to discuss swaps.

 

I've done a 'reasonable' job of matching release to that at discogs, so if a specific edition is your interest, check with me and I can confirm any questions. Condition varies from mint/sealed down to pretty poor, depending on the record.

 

Did another audit today, and have added to the available swap list:

 

The Times - Pure

The Times - Et Dieu Créa La Femme

The Times - E For Edward

Plump DJs - Eargasm

Beth Orton - Central Reservation

Tim Hecker - Love Streams

Count Basie & The Mills Brothers - The Board Of Directors

Blur - The Magic Whip

Austra - Olympia

Austra - Feel It Break

Arcade Fire - Everything Now

 

Full list is available in the quoted link.

You never know, $2500 has been paid for AC/DC Can I Sit Next To You Girl with Dave Evans singing. Throw it up for long enough, and if it's a rarity, someone will eventually pay for it.

 

Someone out of the blue bought a VW Kombi for US$200k, and look at what has happened to the value of those since, and they are not even rare.

There’s a big difference between your Wish and Swap list! 
Your Wish list includes several of my own Holy Grails… Teenage Symphony and Lovers and 1972 are all up there. 

I had a copy of the Japanese pressing of Cabbage Alley and sold it recently - the UK first pressing was a much superior listen.

@hlovi have a 2nd hand Santana Abraxas one step for sale on discogs currently.  Didn’t list here as I thought target audience may be too small.  I looked at your swap list and also the Mofis in the shared link but I already have but quite a few of those.  Feel free to PM me if you are interested in buying Santana.

 

lol, I am aware of the earlier comments on this. Thread and my comment about crazy discogs prices and that my price there maybe 1/2 way to crazy. 😂

Yes agreed great idea.  I was trying to get this happening on Discogs as it goes.

Do you think it might help if posters looked up (and listed) the value of what they want to swap,  I believe the Discogs site has an actual sold for price for every recording ever offered on the site.

Might make the process easier when both parties are assured of an equitable swap?

🌞

Looks like some are discussing this already then lol

Maybe some successful swaps done here could also

be added?
