    Didn't realise that was worth money, I have the LP with that track on, got a few of his lps, another 80s fave of mine is Soft Cell. If you hang around long on ebay you should find them on there a bit, or a lot, cheaper than discogs.

    Trouble with E-Bay is they are mostly not dedicated Record sellers so do not post out in correct mailers hence you basically gonna get a crumpled sleeve, effectivly throwing your money away if you are like me insist on M/NM Records & sleeves....

    The Tubeway army 12" is an established asking price, who ever created these prices need a slap . Same with the Italy only 12" single release of Simple minds "New Golden Dream" nutty money.. Yeh you can get the LP's with the tracks on but they are not extended & secondly the sound quality sucks in comparison..

    Soft Cell were great. They are ok prices. Some of these extended jobbies are now available on CD but the same magical sound is just lacking.

    Discogs...ouch.
    Paid full bhuna for a sealed “limited numbered edition” of Daft Punks 2LP “Tron Legacy”... talking a couple of ton.

    a Month before Disney decided to reissue it.

    Have a look on Gumtree there is often big collections of 12" singles up for sale on there. You may get lucky and find one near you or you may need to travel, there was a 1000+collection down my way not long ago. Just have to buy up on average £0.50 to £1 each so about £500 - 750 for a 1000, then you select the ones you want and sell the rest either to cover cost or make a profit for more. Its tricky to get right but not impossible, just can take time, never know you might end up with a small records shop.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.

    Or alternatively you end up with 1000 bits of junk that you can't get rid of just like the last bloke

    Even the less expensive charity shops (think of Oxfam as Harrods re high pricing) are upping their prices.

    There’s one nearby that have upped the price from 50p/£1
    To £2.49 minimum.

    Must be a lucky streak, I was watching five 12" single i wanted, one went for over a tenner but the other no more than £2 each. Suppose that is a result, However i cant understand why im buying them as im not bothered about records anymore. I think its just the compulsive illness. But honestly i wont bother playing them..

    Oxfam here always did charge stupid prices. If they had charged more sensible prices for their wares, I would have spent literally hundreds of pounds with them.

    Ironically Oxfam have now started to reduce their prices, just as other charity shops have increased theirs.
