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??

Meant buyer, of course. Your further comments presuppose a bit of psychic ability, and therein lies the 'rub' in any transaction. Will the price go up or down, in the future? No one can really say. But, historically, inflation drives the prices of many (most?) items higher, unless they are something that just becomes obsolete or undesirable. Vinyl has been all of these, at times.
The cost of pressing a large piece of vinyl, packaging, etc.

Vs. a small piece of polycarbonate in a small plastic case. 'Duping' a CD en masse is child's play compared to an LP....

...not to mention a quality LP, free of 'issues' to a sophisticated audience.

That, and a smaller audience quantity for the latter....?

move along , bid ain’t ask and scarcity.

never take economic or financial advice from anybody who still works including me... those ten hours a month cloud my judgment 
And the Basement Tapes sound superb , absolutely superb on my bit perfect CD rip played back by server to Aesthetix DAC. Some of us have the clarity of mind and experience including high speed tape to appreciate what different formats can do.
