What a bargain!

Actually, I'm about 98 pounds.

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

But when they dont sell, they will go back down

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

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...

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.

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

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.
