That Escalated Quickly (aka Common Records Turned Rare)

What's up with Blue? I paid 50 cents in 2014.
That one threw me. I guess logically it makes sense with the lack of more than a couple pressings since the 70s but I had some sticker shock when my local quoted me a high price on an unpriced original pressing. Looking at the listings now he was fair but yeah.

Is it that pressing specifically? Weird, since this just got pressed last year.

Not just this one. The median / marketplace for that one is actually a bit low. The lowest Discogs pricing for US is 15 shipped... Next lowest is 35.

I was tempted to grab the 15 as a second copy

I just looked at mine - it’s the blue (colored) one from 2019 and it’s going for $90+. Crazy. I’m sure I have an old beater copy too. The market is weird.

I wouldn't pay $15 for a G+ copy of that. Maybe if it was metal or punk, where I wouldn't hear the defects as much.
 
Buy the repress and move on...that album def isn’t worth that much money :)
Anything that's been pressed in the last oh, 5 or so years, maybe longer, where they press the "Limited Edition" and black vinyl................ya, flip the color and pick up the "vintage black vinyl" at a fraction of the cost. Recent variants are only worth grabbing if you get them at retail on release in my opinion, or shortly there after.

I mean, I bought 2 copies of this for $20 a pop with the sole intention of PIFing one...............what the fuck was I thinking. I better not see that go up for sale ;)

I still have no records by this band.
 
It seems that there's been a Jenny Lewis / Rilo Kiley run of things disappearing recently. I know several of these albums were readily available at retail prices fairly recently. Hoping this is just pressing backlog as opposed to a real OOP.

Jenny Lewis – Acid Tongue (2008, Vinyl) (Lowest Price on Discogs is 50. most recent Ebay was 40)
Jenny Lewis – The Voyager (2014, Vinyl) (Lowest Price on Discogs is 60, most recent Ebay was 59) - This one has admittedly been harder to find for a little while
Rilo Kiley – More Adventurous (2010, Vinyl) (Lowest Price on Discogs is about 75, most recent Ebay was 65)
Rilo Kiley – Take Offs And Landings (2011, 180gm, Vinyl) (Lowest Price on Discogs is 85, Ebay Sales range from 40-90 recently)
