Needles & Grooves

I’d sell my mine for minimum value no questions asked

I guess there would be some questions. “Will you be giving me $20,000 in cash, or by PayPal?”

Better be cash or Uncle Sam is gonna want his cut

Just checked discogs and why in the hell is my promo copy of Aretha's Young, Gifted, and Black's median price $100?

@sahomerrocks if it’s the pressing I saw, it’s because it’s only been sold once for $100

It’s kinda crazy how much values have gone up in the past few years. If any of us tried to sell, we’d be lucky to get half the lowest price on discogs I’m sure and even that may be a hard sell. My max is somehow up to $185,000 and that’s without my 45 collection…

Sounds great in the way that thin 70s records do but ???

I’d sell mine for the lowest value on PayPal, but only Friends and Family

I would sell mine just so that I had more money to buy records

@sahomerrocks its an awesome album and 19 people have the promo on discogs. Wouldn’t be shocked if the sold copy was the only one available at the time. I’ve seen some crazy sale prices during the pandemic. Definitely a cool copy you have though!

Purchased from the small but excellently curated record store next to the beer garden I used to have too many beers at before shopping. Unfortunately that record store and beer garden no longer exist

tbh i'd probably do Max too.. can always try to rebuy your collection - probably not every one of your album is out there selling at max.

@sahomerrocks - as someone that collects promo versions of records, often they are the first presses/cuts/runs of the record...early in the stampers life - and usually sound amazing. I'm talking more of the white label promo variety than the gold stamp promo's of the 80's.

Here's my list of my promo's

Sometimes there's the rare "DJ" cut for radio play - where the record is a bit different than the retail release....or the promo has a different label style entirely - as is with my Soft Machine Third promo that has the old 2-eye Columbia labels, where the retail was on the ColumbiaColumbiaColumbia labels.
