Vinyl collectors and resellers are next level though. You'll see them go straight to the vinyl, check everything quickly and leave. And then there's the op shops themselves starting to list things closer to the resale values than the 'opportunity' value.

    It's insane when the shops ask prices as if the item they have is rare or pristine

    Op shops often don't have the foggiest idea what they are dealing with. it's supposedly too time consuming to look up everything, however I assure you that that ratty looking 1st Ed [whatever] will sell for more than the 18 perfect copies of Twilight that will never move

    Yeah. And the total opposite also, your bible from 1930 is neither old nor valuable
