No one is going to build a better mousetrap out of platinum.
What is it with the violent smashing of square pegs into round holes that some of you find so appealing? it never works, the shortest distance between two points is never platinum. My apologies.Unless we can see some documented actual platinum buys and sells with all the details about the spread at the time of the buy and sell and how hard it was to put the deal together the answer is never going to be platinum. It blows his mind that a vinyl record can produce video. He does however think my collection of CED's and it's working player is astonishing. He still thinks my 8-tracks are a waste of time though. anything? I believe in constructive things. Why would I deprive my own flesh and blood of the joys of. Since then, he now visits regularly, we talk, he and I go for drives in the car (he drives, natch) and I can safely say he's felt like more of a brother in the last four years than in the last 40. Why would I do that? Just don't wreck it." Until I threw the key fob at him and said "You're my brother. Because he never shared anything in his life, he was under the impression I was going to lord it over him. Within 30 minutes of me posting on Facebook that I'd ordered my new car, he was on the phone tearing me a new one.įast forward 'til he came to visit and I'd picked up the car. Regardless, he was insanely jealous - and I mean, climbing the walls. But as the years have gone on, he's softened up and I think has learned a thing or two about how relationships with people work. Classically, my brother and I have never gotten along. What do I enjoy the most about it? It brought my brother and I closer together.
Yes to whatever question people can come up with about it. I'm not a Ford guy by any stretch - it's actually the first one I've owned. In 2016, I bought my first new car a 2016 Mustang GT. That's sort of what I think hobbies are all about: sharing our passion with others. Those are the moments that make life worth living. That's cool that you got to share that with your brother. The other day I saw a Pioneer QX-9900 listed for more than a Marantz 4400 with a working scope. Though it does seem that some of the hardware has gotten a little out of hand. It's not necessarily a bad thing though! For those who are still into or just getting into this crazy little hobby, things have become affordable. What used to go for $300 is now going for $70 or less. My collection exploded over the last few years because I've been able to score stuff so cheap. Like Boss Man says, the peak time for the vintage formats has come and gone. But that's a far cry from the $300 Buy-It-Now that you usually see it listed for. Hell, I was squeeking paying $122.50 for the Elvis in Memphis CD-4. It's about as good as a lowly DTS CD can sound. It's good - very good for being "just" DTS. Dude I did some horse trading with once upon a time sent it along during one transaction. By the time I die, I highly doubt much of what I've collected will be worth anything and it's probably all going to get binned. I have no heirs, I have very little family and generally despise what little is left. I've spent an inordinate amount of time and money on my collection of both stereo and Quad 8-track, Reel tapes and LP's. This is one of those things that keeps me up at night. Is it worth 130-metric tonnes of Gold-Pressed Latinum? Quark says "no". Yes, it is a very rare tape and totally part of the historical musical landscape. there might be some weight to my side of the argument. Clearly, with a starting bid like that, and NO bidders. Is it worth something? Absolutely! There's no denying that the item itself does have some intrinsic value! But as a source to hear the Alan Parson's mix of Dark Side? No. Is this cartridge worth $675 as nothing more than a curio? As a collector of these very things, I say "no".

So, there really is no "value" in the contents anymore, when a fellow could (potentially) go out and buy the boxed set for whatever it's going for ($120 or so I'm guessing) and have in full fidelity, the exact same mix. But lately, a lot of these mixes are seeing the light of day on better, more stable modern formats. There was no other way to hear these surround mixes, other than playing the vintage tapes. I'm sure most of us (in the case of myself, most certainly) chased down these old tapes to hear what was on them. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's very hard to put a price on some of these items now. $112.63 if it was signed by all the members of Pink Floyd. heheh.īut I can't see any of us shelling out $675 dollars for a used, Q8 tape to listen to the discrete version of Dark Side of the Moon. I'm a collector, too! I enjoy it, and I love to show off and brag.
