What's the price of Dreamscapes? - Alphaville Forum

nova2001 · 22 Sep 2013, 17:22

Hello everybody, I always read the forum but I never write. I hope it is OK for you if I write now to ask an advice from you. :)

I (reclatantly) decided to sell my copy of Dreamscapes (in excellent conditions) and my Little America DVD. I haven't found them on Ebay, but I have seen a copy of Dreamscapes sold on discogs for 597 (!) dollars. No hint for the DVD.

Is this price correct? How should I sell them on Ebay?

Thanks in advance!

Out of curiosity why are you getting (reluctantly) rid of it ?

nova2001 · 22 Sep 2013, 18:55

Sorry for the error ;)
Of course the same old reason: I need money...

ah, not for musical reasons, good to hear

$597 for Dreamscapes?! What a difference a few years makes. I bought my copy off eBay in 2004, for $300!

As for the Little America DVD, when I bought it off eBay, it was at the same $40 price as it was when it was first released.

It is on sale on discogs now for 500 Euro (or "make an offer"). The site suggested me 650 euro but I think it is too high. If I can't sell it there, I'll list it on Ebay in a few weeks. Thanks for the suggestions!

Ok, Dreamscapes is a very beautiful box to have but 600$ => Never

And I'll be happy if I could find one on the internet cause it's the lonely cds I don't have but not for a price like that

why pay shitloads of money for CDs when the whole stuff is available legally as mp3 on iTunes?
I have rare CDs like the first uk edition of underworld's "dub no bass with my head man" or "dog man go woof"; both rare - and both corrode: they are unplayable as the silver data layer within the plastic disc got brown spots and shows holes (I never thought that was really possible). Or the collectors edition of the cd maxi "in your room" by depeche mode (released as gatefold cd set). it's ready for the trash today as the glue used by the manufacturer to stick the paperback cover to the plastic cd trays killed the CDs (top side fine, data side looks like you sprayed some acid on the discs).
if dreamscapes was a vinyl box I'd say a 1.000 bucks are a fair price for such a rarity. but CDs? that's dead matter, my friend.

I am searching to have Dreamscapes....
I found it on E-bay at 450 € + 90€ for sending.... but that was a "folie" then I passed my turn....
I think you can sell it very well ! but before let me know your price !!!
good luck !

Actually I sold it after just one week on Discogs for 500 euro (675 dollars) + shipping. I am a bit sad to let it go but, on the other hand, I'm very happy to have 500 euro in my pockets
