[Leykis101]

Fucking sorry, I like Syre and all, but I know damn well it wasnt this good.

I see a lot of stuff like that with outrageous prices. Do the die hard physical CD buyers/collectors really pay those sort of prices? I find it unbelievable.

There's a sucker born every second and these sellers know it....also there are plenty of people around with more money than sense....

[Darkstone]

I've just realized that price is for the 2016 reissue on the official DDR website.

It's not even an original 1990 copy. I'm even more gobsmacked. 

I could not give two shits about owning the actual physical disc. For me it's all about the music.

Who the hell would pay that much for a reissue?

 

[martinsane]

I'll sell you my original cassette tape of this album for $1,000.00. You'd save some money...

 

Seriously goofy.

Shane Martin from DDR posts here occasionally. I would love to know if these sort of prices are paid regularly. 

Shane?

Also, a lot of you guys have been on this site for many years trading, collecting and interacting with some of the older, no longer active, hard core traders/collectors. I can't imagine too many other collectors as obsessed or fanatical than past members of this forum.

Have any of you or any one from here that you know of, ever paid anything close to that for a disc?

I picked the reissue up for a tenner and bought it because Id read it was remastered,dunno it doesnt sound much difference to my original cd from '90 

[martinsane]

James Gebbia, aka Staryder1 used to pay dumb money for cd's as he had an addictive personality, had some money and well some members took advantage of him.

 

I have spent about $25 for a "rare" cd, but that was my cap.

[Leykis101]

That Syre CD was remastered? I couldnt tell it had been mastered to begin with, horribly quiet and very low db's, I sold my original Syre on ebay for $50, bought a new one for 25, and with that mastering job I wouldnt pay more then that for it, the most I ever paid was 80 fpr a Eddie Money Wheres The Party CD, I sold a American Angel and Noize Toys cd for 100,

Back in the day I paid $50 for "Robert Tepper - Modern Madness" Japanese import and was bitterly disappointed. 

That's the most I've ever paid.

I'm sure that price is an error/glitch.  I shop DDR's site at least once a month and I thought I've seen that title listed for 19.99 not long ago.  So it would be interesting to hear from Shane to clarify things.  That would be beyond crazy if it is the correct asking price, lol.  As was mentioned, even if brand new/sealed condition I'd have to believe the original wouldn't go for much more than $50

I thought it might be an error also. Although, I see prices like that all the time on the main site homepage. 

Even if this particular case was an error, those prices do exist. Crazy shit.

yeah, I've read/heard of some pretty outrageous sale prices for hard to find indie releases, it is crazy, I'm a collector myself and prefer to have physical copies, early versions, in good condition and all that but I don't recall ever spending more than about $40 on a cd, if it's that rare and expensive I'm more than happy to have it on cd-r and print up artwork myself

I don't think Shane is with the label anymore.
