thesubcon3 | 18 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I was sent this today... $4K for a vinyl pressing with an inspiration from the artist Banksy. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264514796545 This is crazy to me that it would be in that high of demand!

Bronty | 187 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) i read the description and I'm still not sure what it is exactly. So this is some soundtrack? With an image inspired by banksy but not actually by banksy? Is that right? Edited October 31, 2019 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s definitely not actually banksy, but it’s crazy that it still sold for 3K as a best offer from what I was sent! I’m just surprised that vinyl is in that high of demand, unless it’s this specific release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyree_Cooper | 752 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Or maybe nobody cares, but the seller has 25 copies and is trying to inflate prices because it's a common thing to do nowadays. (Especially with "limited edition" soundtracks, where 80% of the stock gets purchased by resellers and ends up on eBay 12 hours after item is out of stock from the publisher.)

acromite53 | 337 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Yeah the underground VGM Vinyl scene is big right now. Copies of "Moonshake" Zelda & Megaman 2 are going for around $300 each right now. I was lucky to get both when they were released. There are a lot of other labels like "2D Ninja Records", "Select/Start", "Kawadeka", "Totakuribo", etc. They are exclusive groups and you can't buy them outside of them. It's very frustrating. (If anyone can get me on 2d Ninja, and Totakuribo mailing list/facebook group, let me know) Edited October 31, 2019 by acromite53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s definitely what happens now, however most people didn’t know about Moonshake as he was one of the first and it was only on an email group. I only got a copy of this vinyl seemingly random by chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyrulevyse | 151 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I remember when the Zelda moonshake 1/500 was on eBay a year or so ago and forgot to bid. Still haunts me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesubcon3 | 18 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'm still not 100% certain I'm going to sell any of my Moonshake records, as they are amazing, but that sample pressing is just too expensive not to consider it! It could fun my Switch spending for a week at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neodolphino | 267 Homebrew Team · Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I find it hard to believe that actually sold for that much, with there being so many out there (and with how niche it is). I happen to have that one, along with all of the other Moonshake releases (not the variants, so much, but at least each entry), and though they are great, and very well done, I can't fathom one selling for 3k.

OptOut | 8,883 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Wow, never even heard of any of this! I'm always surprised when I hear about these little scenes where there are such dedicated and hardcore fans in a little world I never knew existed. Neat!
