Actually, I'm about 98 pounds.flusher5 wrote:I was bidding on that one too, but it said it was a size small, and the sizes were a lot different back then, all my 1984 - 1985 shirts are size large and fit like todays size small, so unless you weigh 80 pounds, so don't get too excited about wearing it.
We're gonna yodel like it's 1999!

you would be lucky to get $30 for it in that condition, I paid around $10 for 2 of mine in perfect condition, and back in like 2006 I bought one on amazon for $55 because I wanted it so bad, and even that one was in good condition, but it has a few creases.
The People selling it on Amazon for $900 are idiots, its been selling for around $50 for years, but then someone listed one for $900, and people listening them are just going from there

Think that's bad. Someone actually paid $1500 for the Peter And The Wolf CD!

Re: Rare Al items that you own!
I was lucky enough to get Peter and the Wolf for just $30, because the auction was set to end at 5 in the morning and I actually set my alarm to bid on it. Nobody else seemed to be up.
Then I hear stories of people who found it in $5 bargain bins...

Re: Rare Al items that you own!
A few weeks ago I bought the Peter and the Wolf CD from the Singapore ebay for a buy it now of like $2.99, I bought it thinking they would charge $20 shipping or something, but the shipping ended up being like $7, so I got the CD for $10, and its in as perfect condition as you could possibly get, but I do know people who have got it for cheaper.

Wow, I got P&TW for normal CD price ($15 or $18ish) at Tower Records in 1997. I called every single record store in the Philadelphia area that summer, looking for P&TW and UHF Soundtrack. Believe it or not, the latter was MUCH harder to find.
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

Back in 1996/7 I had a choice between getting PATW or Alapalooza at Tower and went with the latter. I hate myself.

Re: Rare Al items that you own!
People need to look up the values of items before they buy them. $1,500 is a ridiculous price for a Peter and the Wolf CD. I probably wouldn't pay more than $60 for one.
As for the Authorized Al, I got one for about $40. I might be willing to pay $150 for a mint one if I couldn't find anything cheaper.
Under the rare items you own category, I recently obtained a copy on of the Compleat Al on LaserDisc (there was a sticker on it from some record store it was sold at that mislabeled it as the Compleat Beatles). Now I have a copy of it on VHS and LaserDisc, and all I need is it on betamax.
