I just sold a single CD on Ebay for $107.50!

Jonathan Burk · 07-25-2001, 06:35 PM

It's the old Muppet Movie CD soundtrack re-issue from 1993. Turned out to be a really good investment!

I am stunned that a single CD could go for so much. I just got the money order today, which I wasn't expecting, to be honest.

Some of the now-discontinued MFSL CDs are bringing big bucks on EBay. A couple of months ago I got about $100 for Alan Parsons "I Robot", $50 for "Dark Side of the Moon", and a whopping $165 for Al Stewart "The Year Of The Cat"!!

I bought these back in the 80s when the MFSL releases were the only way to get these albums. I've replaced them with the current standard label releases for about $10 apiece. This may be blasphemy to some, but I didn't hear any difference - in fact I think the remastered "Dark Side" sounded better than the MFSL.

But I have to say $107.50 for a non-MFSL CD is amazing!!

HA!

I've seen that disc go for $150+ easy on ebay- and the only copy I've seen physically went for $245.

Whoever bought it got a great deal- I would have given you $100 for it no question.

Well, as someone who recently paid the equivalent of about $50 for a 12" single (mmm skyscraper i love you, by Underworld) I don't see what all the fuss is about

i've sold old depeche mode singles for close to $100 (3" cds) and some aphex twin 12"s for over $100 as well.

the most money i've sold any music item for was an old original y&b parlaphone mono copy of the beatles sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band. $220 - all original with a lot of gloss and all of the inserts.

gotta love ebay.

Alas, I'm on the other side of the equation, looking for music that was stolen from me in a burglarly at the end of June. Fortunately, there are only a few hard-to-find CDs (the Infinite Zero Gang of Four reissues are a bitch to find), but the soundtrack to "Permanent Record" (which has a bunch of Joe Strummer songs) hit $45 on one auction, which really gave me sticker shock.

Jonathan, Vince et al.:

Wow. I have a vinyl copy of the The Muppet Movie Original Soundtrack Recording in very good condition. Is there a (probably-not-as-robust) market for that?

Cheers,
Paul

Nope- expect $10-12.

There is several completed on Ebay from the last week, I think the most they sold for was $14.
