We may be "indirectly proving the allure of such items" but we are also getting a 'direct' chuckle at the combo of this song and it's fetching price.
In a way, if potential buyers of this record saw this thread, maybe they'd consider spending that money on a multitude of records --- basically something else than what seems to be a competition of dollars and $ound$. Uh, no they wont, it's a 'one off' --- and an average one at best
From my experience, the ones thaqt mock highly-priced tunes are the exact folks who could never afford such an item. It's like they're enamoured with some sort of fantasy land.
With all due respect Jordandance - I don't think mocking stuff like this has much to do with affording or not affording such an item, nor being enamored by such a record.
I just find it very funny that so much money is being spent on what appears to be a very average, at best, sounding record. Like I said before, it almost feels like a pissing contest more than anything.
But I will also say, even some of the records I desire the most - I don't think I'd pay that kind of money. It just seems like it would take a little bit of the joy out of it if I had to plunk down $500.00 to get it.
And sure, it's all subjective but I think it's wild that this single went for more money than Hopeton Lewis' 'Take it Easy' LP.

I agree with you, there's very few tunes I'd pay that much for, but I've done ut before and I wouldn't put it past me in the future. luckily i live in a city where i can find 5 copies of this tune just sittting there unbeknowst of the latest CDN+ digi frothy mouths.
As far as the pissing contest, i think it has more to do with in the monet gotta-have-it bidding (that eBay auction process induces) more than anything else. Pissing comes after the fact.
