Kind of Blue........blue vinyl........


I received this album from my wife (hope she doesn't get annoyed) for Christmas. I was told it is very rare as only a few were pressed on blue vinyl. It is still sealed.
The cost to my wife was $300.
My question is, do you think I will have difficulty selling it at a reasonable profit or loss?

It was a limited reissue by Classic. $300 is steep. ebay is probably your best opportunity. I would not expect a profit.
I agree with Rwwear, you can't put a price on selling a gift,, especially from your wife....and I should know, after just commenting once on a holiday gift, I now have a closet full of stuff I'll never use or wear...but SHE'S happy, and that allows me an enjoyable hobby. Good luck
You have a nice TT set up.

Keep it and call your wife in for a listen while you play her gift to you. She will get off on it and then who knows what will happen after that. Much better than selling it for less than what she paid for it.
I'm single and even I know you shouldn't sell that album!

Glory is right! bust it open and play it with her and a nice bottle of wine and cheese!
My experience with colored vinyl is it has alot of surface noise. Collectors know this,I doubt you will get a profit on it,at least not from a collector.
count me among those who would keep that LP. But if you must sell, try a ebay listing with a "buy it now" set at a profit you can live with (e.g., $350), and also select the "make offer" option. See what happens. You never know who will grab it up. Maybe some audiophile's wife will see it as a last minute gift option.
If you sell it and your wife finds out, you might find yourself sleeping on the couch with a whole different meaning on "Kind of Blue".
Ahhhh, great comments by all. I must say I am a bit embarrassed by your candor and honesty. I suspect all in favor of me keeping the record because it was a "gift"-your right. I think I'll plan a special night and "break the seal"!
