Pretty good price for Chappell Roan's debut. After seeing all the stuff people online are saying about her wanting some privacy in her life, I checked out where to get this and bought it as other AU retailers are selling it for $100.
CamelCamelCamel.
Yep good price. Went with the 1 year anniversary AU exclusive for this tho
‘I heard she wanted privacy so googled where to buy her record cheapest’ is the weirdest storyline.
probably can relate as scalping celeb
the Meghan Markle story
I know you said this was $100 at other retailers, but almost $70 for a “pop” album is outrageous.
Boy oh boy I feel sorry for her teenage fans…then again, as the old saying goes “To be old wise, you first must be young & stupid”.
Still, In saying that, 10 points for a vinyl post OP, keep them coming👍🏻.
Exactly. Vinyl is only getting more expensive. I remember the days back in the early 80s when records were only like $3 - $10.
You can thank the hipster trust fund douchebags for the high prices now, they’ll pay anything for records because “retro is kewl dauude”. I heard this young kid the other day say she paid $80 for a 2xLP reissue of a 90’s grunge album because “that’s how prices are now”. I replied with “thank the hipster trust fund kidults and “you don’t have to pay just cause JB HiFi says it’s worth that much”.
Pottery at its finest lol.
You can blame your boomer generation for inflation
Albums in mid 80s were at least $20 and according to https://www.in2013dollars.com/australia/inflation/1985?amoun…
"$20 in 1985 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $69.03 today"
So paying $70-80 for a double LP is pretty much the same as it was in your day.
Now you can go back to yelling at clouds
@chiprillis: No I'll blame the hipster trust fund kidults from my, and your generation.
"$20 in 1985 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $69.03 today"
This kind of justification is ridiculous, if you want to pay outrageous prices for records go right ahead.
Now you can go back to trying to workout how a can opener works.
I don't know where you were buying records but in the mid 80s to mid 90s albums were $20-25
I really like this album and I certainly would not pay $68 for it on vinyl. I got excited for a second when I saw this post because it would be an excellent addition to the collection, but no deal at this price.
$68 is way too steep, I've applied conditions to my record purchases now and it seems to be working pretty well.
Double LP's have to be under $50 and as close to the $40 mark as possible.
Single LP's have to be under $40 and as close to $30 as possible.
Hopefully order isn’t cancelled 2 days before arrival
Halve it and she could take me, hot to go.
$53 now
ended
been this price for a few weeks now, it's pretty good. Extra 7% off if combined with another selected vinyl too.
