re: Is there a website where you can determine how “rare” vinyl is?

On the top right—the CBS Half-Speed Master (1980).........worth around $450



Err...not exactly. And it wasn't released until 1982.

Those are two current examples with totally different pricing, both in great shape, and you're still claiming that the going rate is more than double of the high one?



And a domestic copy of The Wall would only fetch $12 if it's in bad shape.

Little bit of an attitude there, eh?

Well, you seem to be the authority on this because you went to eBay and got one auction from Europe on an opened copy—good job.

Your second link is a totally different album (WYWH) and it is the reissue from around 2015.

Let’s see now, my SEALED CBS Mastersounds copy (I have 2-one sealed and one opened)(and these numbers are from a website someone posted above, not the real world at audio shows which I attend 3 times a year where hundreds and hundreds of rare LPs change hands) shows $676 for one copy and $577 for another. The opened copies (a few of them) were averaging around $250——so let’s just average those 2 sealed ($626) and then average the sealed and the opened ($250)—- (626+250/2=$438) so my “around $450” is pretty frigging close (and I did this without any websites—I know from experience of buying them). That is at LEAST what a SEALED will fetch at a record/high end audio show.

As for the date of the release, I was off by a couple years...went by memory—-you really showed me there!

As far as the original U.S. pressing, they can be had from $10-$15 in decent condition in many places. I have seen it too many times in numerous cities and record stores.

I have been doing this for 30+ years and have over 6000 LPs.
