Interesting development


I tend to follow the sales of various LP’s on Ebay. Recently, i have noticed that the price of many of them seems to have skyrocketed! For example, many of the Mobile Fidelity albums have sold for prices that are two-four times more than what they were when new! This is a new development, as only recently, say in the last six months, the same LP’s were selling at or below their original retail price, no more! The recent MFSL reissues of the  Miles Davis LP’s are a good example...some of them sat on the various sites that sold them new for years at the same price, or even slightly below...now we see these very same albums going for up to four times what they originally sold for..
Same goes for several of the Analogue Productions reissues..what’s up??

There is no accounting for taste and the weather. 

I was just given several hundred 78s. Now that's value. Going to have to get a 78 rpm cartridge.
Ok, so the fact that the title is no longer available, or is temporarily unavailable, guarantees it will now sell for multiples of the original price. This does not really make total sense to me, as the Miles Davis Milestones MFSL reissue was available for years..and clearly was not a big seller at its original price! So, now that it is apparently discontinued, it suddenly gains tremendously in desirability! Not for me it does not...LOL.
@millercarbon sorry, but I don’t think your reasoning explains the sudden rise in value of the particular albums that I mentioned in my prior post.


Right. Totally unexpected. Where'd that guy come from all of a sudden?

There's a saying in finance, you go bankrupt twice: gradually, and all of a sudden. The sun darkens, the cloud gathers, and then finally when the rain starts falling you point and go, "HEY! Why's this spot wet all of a sudden!?!"  

There's some things no matter how many times or how well explained some never are able to get it. This it seems is one of them.

The false narrative about the stolen “landslide election” being a perfect example.
