WHY ARE PRICES SKY ROCKETING?

Interesting thread.

I have been in business (not records) and a warning to whoever said it: You can price yourself out of business; I remember Stanley Gibbons going down once.  I've seen stuff on ebay 10 times market value. It costs nothing now to put the pot on and there are plenty of sellers who will do this and at that level it's just sheer greed. It might not be the sellers entire fault but its not a good business model to just rip the odd div off. Apologies to the fair deal sellers incorrectly tarred with the same brush.

 

 

It's vicious circle for collectors. 

The prices of the records on their wants lists are going up fast.

To get the money to help afford them, they need to get as much as possible for the records they are willing to part with!
