顺便把Princeton Record Exchange里关于LP收购价位的说明贴出来,让“LP肯定能升值”的口号呼喊者好好看看,人家愿意出多少价钱来收购“rare items”:
While the market for Classical records has diminished in the past several years, we will still pay from 25¢ to $1 per disc for some strong-selling string, chamber music, 20th century, avant garde, orchestral and instrumental classical records in near-mint condition. We pay more for certain Classical records, especailly audiophiles, and up to $10 or more for certain rarities that are in great demand.
看到了吗,一般好的品种收购价才25美分到1美元;特别稀罕的那些,“up to $10 or more”,有可能把“or more”的平均价格讲价讲到$100吗?——能讲到平均$30一张就很不错了。
