[QUOTE="westy303, post: 683095, member: 6592"] I'm going to sound like I've breakfasted on the FT or something, but isn't this another example of globalisation fueled by the net? I bought a copy of Band In A Box - Get Dynamite a couple of months ago from a guy in Florida cos it was cheaper than buying it in the UK. Once upon a time, if I wanted a classic I used to have to go to somewhere like Vinyl Exchange in Manchester. And so did everyone else, so there was a finite supply of tunes to sell amongst a local market so demand was high, supply was low, and prices were pushed up. Bring the internet into the mix (no pun intended), and all of a sudden, if you want a tune, you can get it anywhere and the price will reflect that. You'll still get examples of tunes with limited pressings eg Parradice - Can You Hear Me - 200 copies pressed up, so you will only have no more than 200 people in the world who could ever sell it, and many of those over the years wll have been damaged or broken. I have only ever seen one copy for sale in the "flesh", so these will always retain their value. [/QUOTE]
