Some records worth a fortune now, at the time when they came out no more than any other. What modernish albums might be future classics worth a bob or two? Just curious not speculating! *disclaimer* Just spent silly on a single album, buyers remorse not kicked in..yet!

The ones that don't sell too well !
If 'old' they can score well
The price of some old Naim kit is getting daft

I go for 180 & 200gm limited edition stuff, most not cheap but should be worth a few quid down the line.

cool... have a few of those in my stash. The Daft Punk might keep its value, provided I don't break the shrinkwrap.

It's always a surprise what becomes valuable. That's how it works, because if everyone knew, it would never gain value!

Not to denigrate any ones reasons for purchasing music, but I can honestly state I have never knowingly bought an album as an investment. There have been some happy accidents along the way although oddly enough I find myself unable to part with them...

Those albums that were released on vinyl just as the labels were winding down production are getting silly prices now, it seems. The Donald Fagan album Kamakiriad is a good example, the first 2 or 3 Oasis albums, Pulp etc.

I actually got Iron Maidens soundhouse tapes back in the day but got lost in the travels of time A friend sold Alpha Centuria years ago before it became valuable I also had some garage tapes by Metallica but that also disappeared years ago

Pulled trigger on Daft Punk Tron Legacy 180g vinyl. *ouch* One of my favourite film soundtrack/electronic albums (ever), seems to be rising in value? Have it on digital so HOPE I'm not tempted to break the seal, might lose money right there. Buyers remorse not kicked in yet and yes, I'm "sharing it with the group"

I buy what I buy because I love the music and I want the best recording of it I can find without paying ridiculous amounts.

Eye To The Telescope by KT Tunstall was widely available on vinyl from release until 4/5 years ago. Suddenly shot up to £100. It's not super rare and it's not audiophile quality. I bought all the early Goldfrapp vinyl from Amazon at heavily discounted prices (early 2006). All now fetch high prices. The first 3 Oasis albums are being reissued so can't see why anyone would pay high prices now. The Elbow box set from 2012 is already fetching serious money. 21st century releases fetching close to rare 60s and 70s vinyl.

Now that surprises me Were they only pressed in fairly low amounts ?
Are 'collectors' and speculators moving in ?

The price of some old Naim kit is getting daft What about the prices of the new stuff. You could spend a couple of year's salary easily if you're not careful. As for vinyl. I've got hundreds of sixties/seventies/eighties rock LPs. All original releases, some scarce. All in good condition. Haven't looked through them in years. Maybe now's the time.

New prices are mad, but what gets me is how the really old stuff is going up in value.
I wonder if the same thing is going on with records and kit - being bought for reasons other than using it

I just checked my Amazon Account history - Felt Mountain and Black Cherry cost £15.98 in total incl postage. Also bought The Rising (Springsteen) just before that but doesn't show the price (3rd part seller?). All these are now £80-£100 records. One thing average cost of new LPs was about £15 (Amazon pricing) about 10 years ago so price increases since the vinyl revival have been a lot less than people claim.

I just wish I had them, not for their value but to play
