I was kicking around YouTube and one guy mentioned an eight thousand dollar selling price for a MoFi Santana album, that now has to be re- evaluated because of the digital step. And the fact that the digital step means no more real limits on production . Contradicting two important elements, because of the manufacture's dishonesty, that drove the collector and retail price.
I suppose for normal collectors that would cause a bit of concern, but really , a person willing to pay thousands of dollars for a single record can probably take the hit.
If one was investing for speculative profit in a record business, he can probably write off a partial loss on his taxes.
Maybe MoFi will get smart and reissue the high demand albums so that more people can enjoy the quality, and to make hay while the sun shines on vinyl records.
I suppose they will stick as closely as possible to the established pricing structure, and keep the collectors happy be treating the records like baseball cards, instead of music , a cultural enrichment.
