Well, it's a dollar sign so US or Canada likely. Those records aren't sitting in Australia, that's for sure.

Man, I feel you jordandance.
Haven't seen any deals like that on Jamaican press stuff here in the US either.

I paid 1€ for the Prince Far I one and the Ashanty Roy On U sound 10inch, but not on ebay :). 2 killers IMO.

And don't compare the prices to eb's one, all his records are the MOST overpriced I've ever seen, really !

right Ernie B's are like 3-4x what they cost elsewhere. Why is that?

One word for this : speculation, they think they get more money from selling few but expensive. On the other side, they sell repress low to get all the market and choke it, killing all small shops. Not my taste definitely !
