I would be willing to pay a BIT over cost + shipping (might as well try)

SlamGlam said:

Nice try

I wouldn't sell one for less then $200 at this point and I doubt anyone else would either. It's obviously going to be a huge collectible but the unknown right now is how many or how few have gotten out. If not many at all get out the $200 could end up being a good deal. Even if a relatively large number get out the value is at least $100 because they will be scarce.

nawww it is going to come out as is in a month or 2...

SlamGlam said:

One of them for sale on Ebay says that there is a black magic marker through the barcode and another says it has the holepunch through the barcode which to me would indicate that maybe the new one will be a new printing.

Who knows....maybe not... but a withdrawn Prince album has tremdous value and if you have one you would be foolish to sell it a little over cost anticipating that the release in a month or two will be the same.

I haven't really been following the rumors but I do know for a fact you ain't getting one for a "bit" over cost.

lovemachine said:

not everyone is as greedy as you are..

SlamGlam said:

Okay Let me know when someone sell it to you for a bit over cost.

lovemachine said:

well i am going on the idea it is going to be released in may or june... so it is not worth more that about $25...

some are on ebay for 57 shipped.

lovemachine said:

I just hope that its officially released and makes your versions worthless..your just so damn greedy

ontheonevegas said:

well i would not HOPE that... remember that the people selling them are the jerks. the ones that bough all of the ones they saw... and i did manage to get one for 33 shipped...given it would take an hour and 2 gallons of gas to go to the neares best buy... that is an okay price.

so you're saying if you had extra copies you wouldnt sell them????

i would sell them but not at a super high price. maybe $30 shipped... and you would still make 10 bucks

SlamGlam said:

I would have sold them at cost + shipping and politely request they throw in a CDr of a concert I don't have if possible.

I bought extra USA Today's with the 3121 ad and sent them to people for free. It's all about sharing the purple funk. Money isn't the most important thing to me...

Exactly. I think $35-$55 shipped is reasonable, Buy it now price of course. No need to drag it out. I just couldn't bring myself to gouge fellow prince fans by charging $100 or more for that cd. There was just an auction on ebay where it got bid up to $102. Now that's just crazy.

ecp when it is very likely the same exact set will come out this summer anyway...

every once in a whil ethey pop up for reasonable BIN prices

besides, it will get released anyway, so there is no need to outprice yourself

i found 5 more copies

pld71 said:

can i have one? well i'll pay for it,,,

ontheonevegas said:

There's talk of it being released, but with different artwork. For some reason Prince doesn't like the artwork.Someone over at Housequake called Universal and they confirm this.So the ones that are out now will still be collector's items.

I've looked everywhere, can't find one. I sure hope my copy comes from Amazon.

Maybe he doesn’t want to compete with himself?

"My only competition is well me in the past"

personally any of them with a buy it now for over $30+ i wouldnt buy.. thats me.. this is the same cd Target was set to sale for $10... now if i would got copies.. yeah i would put them on ebay.. but lets be real.. if someone wants to pay $100 for a cd.. let them.. if they got the money to waste let them have it.. i wish i could had a copy.. i still want a copy.. but if it is going to come out with different artwork,, so be it.. right now i would be happy with a cdr.. let the greedy be greedy.. and when they cant sale what they have the prices will drop...

btw love the dog! wish i could get my dog to sit that long to put cds around him and take a pic...
peace

So I guess you wouldn't pay $31.99 + tax at the Virgin Megastores in NYC to get a copy? C'est la vie and more for me to buy and sell at cost + a CDr of something "live" I don't have. I'm off to Virgin right now to pick up several I have waiting for me...and then I will ship them to the people who asked me to get one for them last week... I definitely don't think that's being greedy...some of the people live in different countries where it's even more difficult to find and I'm only recouping my costs + a CDr of something I don't already have. Everyone wins (except maybe Prince ).

i got mine at VIRGIN MEGA STORE in CHICAGO for 31,99, it's worth it
