$6,400 for the t-shirt... Is it gold?!

I agree prices are completely out of control. 2312.99 for a white Bleach is insane even with poster.

This one is also going out of control:

I am pretty sure this is a bootleg

I love when people say things like this (the LB "test pressing auction"):
"I can say that I haven't seen one like this before ever which in any case makes it a curiosity."
Yes, you never saw it before. I bet you searched for it A LOT, scouring the deepest corners of the Internet and really tried your hardest to find another over a long period of time. Actually in this case it is probably a "curiosity," there were probably not many made of this junk. Still, in most cases when sellers say something like that it means "right now this is the only one on my regional eBay site. Hopefully."
As for the legit stuff. Beyond crazy. Wish I had collected more in the early 2000's...

I spoke to a friend about this today and he reckons it’s because of Covid, people have more disposable income with no holidays abroad, pubs and fancy restaurants all closed etc.
Not quite sure myself.

Total fake, it doesn’t have the outer ring around the spindle hole.

The LB thing looks like a sticker-label

as much as i love collecting the unofficial love buzz variants
these counterfeit test pressings seem like a waste of money
and im sure buying the different unofficial love buzz versions is waste of money too
i just like the way they look
even the russian flexis too
RE: Inflation!!! (Dedicated thread to track and discuss crazy sell prices) - miguelimarques - 02-16-2021
We all have soft spots... some collect only sealed items... others only tapes... there are even some that waste all their allowance on official test pressings, but... collecting is a way to make us happy and to maintain our minds sane.
If it makes you happy... who am I to judge that you have spent $40k in one record!?!
I know that I am a sinner with no salvation...
Now,... who is the gentle soul that is going to help a poor devil to find those annoying Aussie Cassette Singles for a bargain?
