This is unbelievable Glenn. Ive run in to similar situations (though not $2500) at a few flea markets. Water damaged Beatles represses going for $100... absolutely nuts. As Mr. T used to say... I Pity the Fool that actually falls for this and purchases it... great video..
@@monaural2.988 I wouldn't doubt it. Lol. And not only because it's a classic but because he has it slabbed in that plastic baseball card grading thingy. Lol. Thank you for your comment 🙏🏼 I appreciate you. 🤟🏼😎
Yes, the prices are ridiculous. Just to be clear, you understand it was not "him" that did the grading? Just wasn't clear if you were aware it service you send off for just like cards?
@mrhoffame I was not even aware that this was an actual thing in the vinyl community. I did my research, and this guy is not the only one. I found this seller's page on eBay. He has a high approval rate. People actually buy this stuff. I just can't believe it. And the bottom line is it's overpriced, and that Thriller isn't even vintage. But if he can sell it sure , more power to him. Lol, I'm just trying to make my VC friends aware of it. I appreciate your comment 🙏🏼 Thank you for the info, too. My frustration is definitely exaggerated in this video. Lol 😆😂
@@tokyorecordstyle Absolutely Brian. I had to share this information with everyone. It's outrageous. And come to find out, this is actually a trend. Unbelievable.
@davidkenner-rb8go Yes. Thank you for that info. I just looked it up. It's an Eminem pic disc for his album JDGAF. I just googled it and found this actual copy on EBAY. Same seller, and he wants $450. Is that a four hundred and fifty dollar record? Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate you. 🙏🏼
@jorgeacevedo7934 My friend told me that he found these at the Burbank Card Show in the City of Anaheim, CA. He did not get the name of the dealer, though.
@carpal08 Apparently, this is a trend. It's called "Slabbing."" These records actually get sealed shut, so you can't even open them up to play rhem. That just makes these prices even more ridiculous. Lol. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it.
@@therealglennthebaker yes for vinyl you can thank Steve lame ass aoki I think he was the one who got it trendy. I saw a grade tape of Nevermind and the dude wanted like 3500 bucks. Shame normies and opportunists are ruining every hobby
Great video. I don’t think that record slabbing will stand the test of time. A record is different than a baseball card. And these prices are insane, seller from slapped records at factor 10 to the value of a record. That is ridiculous.
@Souldisco Thank you so much for watching. I agree. I don't think Slabbing will stand the test of time. But, to my surprise, there are some folks who actually buy these. But it is all in the name of greed. And greed is never good. Thank you for your comment and feedback. I appreciate you.
@vinylrichie007 I just learned about slabbing Rich. I had no idea this was a thing. Turns out you can't even open these to play them. It just gets worse. Lol. Apparently, these records do sell to some collectors. I just saw Noble Records' video on the subject. I had no idea man. Thanks for the info, Rich.
Yea, this seller is definitely looking for some clueless person with more money than sense. I enjoyed the video and until 10:45 . TDS kicking in doesn't help an otherwise decent video.
@Stomp409 Oops. Looks like offended a MAGA. I knew that might happen. And if you are not a MAGA, then you should know that a little joke towards the orange one 🎃 doesn't exactly mean TDS. It just means I'm making a little joke. Sorry if you couldn't handle it, but I appreciate the view and the otherwise decent comment...
@darrena1869 Not a silly question at all, my friend. These are gatefold sleeves and ordered them at vinylstoragesolutions.ca They have all kinds of different sleeves for all your vinyl storage needs.
@@therealglennthebaker I only have like 300-400 records as it is but there's at least 100 I don't listen to. Interesting that people are selling collections ..
I can understand a little how you could be finding all this sellers out of touch pricing totally ridiculous and insane but why get all fired up?? At the end of the day who the F cares? If this guy can sell those for even close to his asking then good on him. You or your friends certainly aren’t paying that so why worry. I sold an older well maintained BMW sports car 3 yrs ago for 2.5 thousand more than I thought it would sell for and that’s 3.5 more than I paid for it 4 yrs earlier. So ppl will either buy or not …. Simple, you just never know. Yes insane stupid prices but so what. BUYER BEWARE.
Wrong wrong wrong! The more greedy “entrepreneurs” charge for “collectibles” that are essentially worthless bits of plastic and paper - the closer we get to hell. Wealthy tech bros spend 3 million quid on an original Homer Simpson fart imported from Japan, while our own communities die in starvation, drug addiction and poverty.fck capitalism and the military industrial complex, it’ll be the death of us all and you should bow your head in shame for being so blindly and proudly obedient to it. Peace
@@therealglennthebaker wow ol” Glen got all fckin touchy. Listen only you think he’s RIPPING PPL OFF”. What an ignorant statement from what I was saying. So stupid, If the seller is making claims that are untrue or misleading or using false advertising or taking advantage of a crisis. Then it’s considered Ripping someone off. Retail 101: the seller can ask what he wants, the buyer has free will to buy or walk. Fck man what an angry simpleton.
Lol, yes a sucker is born every second but so are vultures. You can rationalize how you want but you seem like a real peach. 😂 you must be a used car dealer
One of the reasons I got out of the sports card business in 2020 was because of grading. It just made the greed even worse. I'm all for flipping and investing in cards, but unless you bow down the grading gods, it makes selling raw cards almost impossible. Everyone want immaculate cards that they could grade for a 10.
So interesting. It's crazy how much the seller is trying to flog those records at a baseball card event. The pressing for "The Thriller" album was huge so IMHO the value of a record also depends on its rarity value on top of that, the vinyl and sleeve condition and so forth. It would be interesting to know if he actually sold any of these over-priced records. Excellent topic and video!
@retromusings Thank you, RM. A lot of us are wondering if this seller has actually ever sold any of these. I doubt it. This might be like another eBay situation where anyone on there can ask for astronomical prices, but they aren't exactly selling them. Thanks for your feedback, RM. 👍🏻 😊
Hey pal. Great and fun video. Thanks for sharing. You had me at Gemco. The first record I ever got was in a Gemco in the city of LaMirada. Though I have to say your first album is cooler than mine as I chose Chipmumk Punk. One funny story is I never kept that record but I was in Fullerton at White Rabbit records and they actually had that record. I couldn’t resist and had to get it. Played it once for nostalgia but probably never again, though I am thrilled to have it in my record collection. I think the bigger question isn’t how much that crazy dude was selling those records for at that astronomical price. But has there ever been someone who actually bought one from him. That is absolute bananas. Thanks again for the video. Have a great day my friend.
@user-zx6oc3bi3b Hey, what's up! Another Gemco club member. I do remember it was a club store just like Costco. My folks were proud of their Gemco Club card. Lol. Thank you for watching, and thank you for your feedback and comment.I appreciate you. ✊🏼😎
@@therealglennthebaker Yeah my parents were proud of their member card too. Me and my friend used to go there often on the weekends to play on their video game consoles and also look at all the new music. We would stand real close behind any adults walking in and pretend to be their kids to work our way in the store since we didn’t have a card. Appreciate you too and keep on keeping on my brother. Take care.
That was some great response on the tag. Working on mine and hopefully it will be up soonish. Funny thing about the glow in the dark...I got a record that have that feature, the sound really sucks... lets stay black. Cheers
I just watched this. Great video. Nice score on the Alice Cooper with all the origin accoutrements. Love that Lauryn Hill album. I just subbed to you channel. Cheers.
Great job. Nice picks. I’m new to the VC. Brian at Tokyo Record Style was one on the first people to sub and reach out. I want to do this tag as well. Cheers.
Hi Glenn, enjoyed your tag. You showed loads of my favourites… Murmur, Let’s Dance, Swordfishtrombones! Plenty that I’ve not heard too… interesting stuff. I’ve got some Turkish psych too… crazy stuff! Liked and subbed. Cheers, Jack
Do it! Vinyl Richie! It was long cuz I really wanted to just make it for myself. But do a 1/2 or a 1/4 or less. Make it dead easy for yourself! It would be a great honor to have @vinylrichie007 participation!
Hi Glenn, glad you’ve picked up Brian’s tag, hopefully other will follow as I think there are some interesting categories there that give lots of scope for some interesting choice. Lots of the records you showed were new to me, which it great. I loved the choice of Swordfishtrombomes as glorious mess, I know exactly what you mean. I also have the same relationship with Let’s Dance. It was my introduction to Bowie as a teenager in the 80’s I loved it them and still think it is great! Andy
@martinsvinyl1985 Sorry, I haven't responded to your thread, Martin ( Why do I have multiple copies. I must try that one) I'll catch up, but thank you for watching 👀 🙏🏼 ☺️
@@therealglennthebaker Welcome you know it, happy to subscribe to your channel keep up the great work. I'll definitely go out there to Pasadena to check out Sinylline Records
what lp record player do you own im curious but i would like to know what stereo system you have head to tails complete ? let us know the complete system .
@Dave30867 Hey, how's it going? My player is a Fluance RT 85 N. It has a Nagaoka MP 110 cartridge. The amp is a tube amp I found on amazon. I forgot the brand. The preamp and the speakers are also Fluance. I'm definitely going to do a video on the entire rig soon.
Dude! Super SUPER SURPRISED and GRATEFUL for the mention and channel shoutout, and PUMPED for you that you scored that Happy End Record! I think it's such a killer record and I hope you really like it. It kind grows on me more and more over the years. My favorite track is called "Kakurenbo" (かくれんぼ, "Hide-and-seek"), the 2nd track on Side 1. Super goovy and soulful. As I said in another comment, you got a great stage presence and I'm looking forward to your future vids. Stay in touch (let's get online on a stream sometime together and hang - my gears are truning) Thanks again and speak soon!
@tokyorecordstyle Hey Thanks Brian. I totally appreciate your feedback. I'm game for a live stream. Let me know how that works. Thanks again for your comment....🙏🏼😎
