[QUOTE="lastnightadj, post: 662188, member: 497"] I think we're at the stage now where 99% of tunes have dropped in price considerably - and the odd (generally overhyped on the internet) has shot up to a stupid price (although these tunes generally drop in price after 6/12 months when the hype has died down) Bread and butter tunes that were worth £5 5 years ago seem to be going unsold at £2 I think everybody is pretty much selling/sold up at the minute - and not many people are buying .... TBH what' the point with MP3's and CDJs/Ableton etc? IMHO it's all about the long game - look at Northern Soul - mega expensive in the 70's (when the punters were in their 20's), dropped off badly in 80's (same punters now hit 30's - get married/have kids/stay in etc) and has been slowly improving thru 90's until today where it is pretty much back to the kind of prices it was getting in 70s (punters are now in there 40's, with grown up kids and likely to be divorced - start going out again and getting into their old passion -going to revival clubs/meeting new people/buying tunes again) Only difference now is that you can get pretty much any tune on an MP3 within an hour of deciding you want it - therefore you do not need to buy the vinyl definatley a buyers market - and theres not that many people interested in buying except the hardcore - who pretty much have everything they want anyway [/QUOTE]
