I agree, this is just how the market works, nothing more. high demand and
not enough supply results in rising prices. Compared to other UK dealers his
prices are moderate - at least if you're a vinyl junkie. Take a look at Greg
Vandike's website. Now that's what I call overpriced.
Still, I'd love to find that shop or dealer where you can get the Top 100
Freakbeat rarities for nothing. Let's face it: if I had rarities to sell I
wouldn't gice them waway for nothing either.

Compared to European dealers he's still reasonable. But do you mean US 6Ts
punk legend THE GONN (Blackout of Gretely)?
