Back in the early 80"s MFSL made UHQR's that listed for I think $50. Have great packaging and sound fantastic. Now the new 45's sound really great and they sell for about $50. They're not quite as good as the UHQRs, but with inflation, those $50 records would probably cost at least $200 (maybe $400 depending on what inflation numbers you look at). Try buying a used UHQR of Dark Side or Sergeant Pepper. Much more than $400, and if it is new, probably $1000.
I resent the collectors who never play and enjoy an album, and then try to sell them later on for profit. It's not a stamp or a coin. If someone is going to enjoy a record, then they can pay whatever they think it's worth. If they are a monopoly money VC or investment banker, then their opinion of worth are usually a lot higher than mine.
