What's the most dramatic price drop you've experienced?

[Flowjob]

Especially on ebay we witness rare and hella expensive CDs drop dramatically in price every now and then. typically after some overstock or forgotten batches have been available. what's the most dramatic price fall you remember?

the one that comes to my mind is Ray Luv's Last nite CD-single that went from $100+++ to $2-3 in a few weeks a couple of years ago...

That "Fuck the Cause" compilation :cheeky:

 

[InDO]

yea but the fuck the cause compilation was made 2004 by playya so that was no wonder

IFA - International Family Affair

had an extra copy sitting on my shelf and was getting $300-$400 offers for it from some japanese dudes. i got greedy and held onto it because i saw people selling it for $500+ and then 209 came out of nowhere with a shit load of sealed OG copies selling at $50 a pop.

haha all good though...i bought my extra copy for only $3 so its not like i loss money.

kansas city original sound - k-otic

used to sell for $1000 plus. first time I sold a copy for $425. next copy was $200ish. now it's probably hard to sell one for much more than $100

TRUE.
Do you think demand will ever rebound?

Then it got re-released.

P-Folks Smoke Inhalation used sell around 99$
Then it got re-released.

Wasn't that just an old batch that was released? Is there any difference between the OG and the re-release apart from the ring code, like a poor cover scan, one-page booklet etc?

 

[flaimm]

TRUE.
Do you think demand will ever rebound?

i hope it does my brotha i got a gang of shit i wanna sell when we get back right again.

4 different Tech N9ne CDs (calm, worst, worst 2k, celcius), due to a local spot repressing them all. Although, you can still tell the difference between the originals and the repress, they still don't go above $20 each anymore.

I know a lot of Big Boy and Cash Money shit have dropped.

 

[AdolfOliverBush]

B.O.M. - SOLD REALA RIDE FOR $100 (USED TO SELL FOR $300+)

Thanks for the honesty in your post. Some sellers are so secretive about what they sell and the prices, etc. I won my B.O.M. within the last year on Ebay for about $80.

 

[chriso]

unspoken vandals - when it rains it pours
used to be pretty rare and sold for 200+ and is now on 10-16$ or something

that fuck the cause is one of the albums that dropped most. i remember outofprintrap sold the first for 700+ lol

 

[basment-music]

the one i've noticed was Pimpsta - Dickies and Houseshoes which made me happy cause it meant i got the cd version for like $10 and can stop with listening to the damn tape

 

[209]

Young Dre D - Troubled Mind 1996 OG now sells for about half of what it used to, thanks to the reprint king calstate007 and him pushing the 2008 repress of the cd.

 

[diggler]

layziemarv's list of current sales prices don't seem that bad to me compared to what i've seen lately.

any rare r&b cd's have taken a dump.

 

[jay deuce]

That KC compilation I can't remember the name of it. Grim sold one for $600. I sold one for $300 then the next for $100 then the next for $60.
