Rated X wrote:50 bucks ? What kind of crack are they smoking ? You could probably find the vintage record in a thrift store for a dollar. Or more likely in a vinyl store for under 20 bucks. I used to DJ. Even the rarest records could be bought for under 20 bucks once CD turntables were invented by Numark.

Based on the Amazon.com order page, there's nothing that justifies this price point. I'm not angry about it, and I'm just not buying it.
Records and toys are different in my mind. I'll happily spend up to $15 on an LP, maybe even $20 depending on what I'm buying and where. $50 doesn't even make sense. I've never seen a price tag that high for something brand new and for something not being sold in secondary markets like eBay.

Vinyl collector they buy it wouldnt think twice for someone like us who buys stuff like this http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11788&mode=retail same person will say samething 80. For toy to keep in box not to be taken out or display on shelf to collect dust depends on person

Granted it's been ages since I've dealt with the music market but back when I was building up my Metallica music library, I wouldn't have (and often didn't) think twice about dropping that kind of change down for vinyl and that was back when most of you 'bots still had training wheels. If it wasn't for the fact that I still have my cassette and original CD of this soundtrack, I'd probably drop the 50 creds for the vinyl now but I just don't feel the need to have a version I can't even listen to.
Y'all should know better by now than to scoff at the prices of various collectibles. Audiophiles are even fussier and hungrier creatures than those folks dependent on their "plastic crack" addictions and the markets operate on two entirely different wavelengths.

I have a huge collection of 80's vinyl but never got into getting newer albums on vinyl but this is a must have!
I need you to recommend me a record player. Got rid of my DJ turntables years ago and don't have a way to play vinyl at all since then.

Where is this information in the listing that its's limited to 1000, and is a japanese import? I didnt see that. Color shouldn't affect pricing, though.
