Congrats @pete I've been hunting for PoD for a while. There were a few last summer on eBay for $50 and I didn't pull the trigger. Really bummed I didn't as the pricce has been creeping up and up. Just saw another sell for $100 on eBay this week.
Pretty ticked off at this seller on ebay. I put an offer in for DotD for $85, he had it listed for $150. He told me he wanted to keep it at that price for a few weeks weeks to see if it would sell. I get a message from ebay this morning saying it sold for $85. It's been less than a week...
Ugh people suck.I had something funky like that happening with silver bullet last month. This is why I want more and more to just deal in person. Case in point today - A copy of videodrome popped on discogs at way too high a price for me right now and I was about to just move on from it when I saw that it was listed by someone I knew (long story short this guy is just recently in charge of moving a truly massive and somewhat legendary collection around these parts, so there are gems of all genres, tastes, and grooves that will be popping up for likely years to come and this was one of them). Drove up there this morning to see if he could move on the price and not only did he do so quite generously but also pulled a stunning copy of the cinevox original dawn pressing (silver goblin not the more elusive green for those playing at home) that he had also just unearthed. The size of his stock cannot be underestimated unfortunately where it falls short ultimately is organization, so things are just going to come popping out of the woodwork for a while yet.
The downside is of course it is that much harder to walk away when this stuff is physically in your hands, so it was an unexpectedly pricey Saturday...but less that it could have and should have been.
These VS dawns are going for so much, all the prices seem to be creeping up and up, and it’s not just soundtracks, there’s a manufactured scarcity happening out there and it’s making this hobby even more expensive since that it used to be right now. It’ll calm down again eventually but yikes
I have been in this business a long time. Now if I don't want to do a show, it's not because I got stage fright. It's because some creature from beyond doesn't want me to do the show. Now gangway.
