get a load of this. Super rare VU LP was found in NYC and was bought for 75 cents. Im guessing bidding is going to go past $50,000,000.

start hitting up the yard sales folks.

12/2/2006 2:44:00 PM

you're off by a factor of 1000

12/2/2006 2:50:24 PM

^hahaha. i was about to disagree with you, but then i read the original post.

12/2/2006 2:52:41 PM

please tell me you meant to say $50k

12/2/2006 2:58:01 PM

I don't know what this is, but they should rip it and release it on the net if it's as important as that auction makes it seem.

12/2/2006 3:03:56 PM

It was $25,000 when I looked at it last night. The auction doesn't even end for 6 more days; should be pretty absurd.

12/2/2006 3:05:24 PM

^^that would be incredibly stupid. part of the value of this is that no one has these recordings. the high bidder will likely sell a digital copy to some sort of record label or release themselves (for big bucks i would imagine)

this thing's already at $37,000 and there's still almost a week on the auction.

If anybody on here is looking to get me an Xmas present...

12/3/2006 12:29:56 AM

This is The Velvet Underground?

And what is all the fuss over them?

12/3/2006 8:51:04 AM

This is the Velvet Underground



Surely people know who Lou Reed is

12/3/2006 9:52:27 AM

Who reed?

12/3/2006 9:57:42 AM

they're no nickelback but what you gonna do.

12/3/2006 10:04:43 AM

^^^^ Since I can't afford this acetate, I'll take the Epiphone Coronet from the picture...or maybe that bizarre-ass baritone SG.

12/3/2006 10:41:10 AM

Ahahahaha I didn't notice that.

Wtf IS going on with that SG?

12/3/2006 12:28:34 PM

probably a shadow

it looks like 8 tuners, but if you look there is only 6 tuning posts

12/3/2006 1:13:36 PM

i bid on this

12/3/2006 2:38:18 PM

What do you want to bet it's a homemade fake?

NYC???

Better believers it

12/3/2006 2:48:22 PM

^ its not like its a painting you can remake

also this has made me start listening to this record again. Its awesome.

you can get lathe-cut acetates printed overseas fairly easily without any worry of copyright. it is totally possible to make a copy of a record like this and have it look/sound almost identical. you'd still have to get your hands on the original to do something like that, though.

12/3/2006 4:30:09 PM

It's gone over $100,000

Forget the number. Look at them. They're bass-style elephant ear tuners, but the scale is too short and there are six strings which are obviously not of bass gauge. It's a baritone SG, mang.

12/4/2006 12:21:15 AM

I won't lie

I have no idea -- NONE -- why this is worth more than $.05

12/4/2006 1:16:17 AM

read the ebay description, noting that this velvet underground album was one of the most important rock albums of the sixties.

12/4/2006 1:18:17 AM

if it was that important, wouldn't they have made more than one copy?

12/4/2006 9:41:58 AM

reading is key.

wasn't trying to argue if it was or wasn't a baritone. it was just after looking at it i was going wtf? eight tuners? then i figured out that it was a shadow and i thought thats what you guys were wondering about.

I hate hate HATE it when people write "Moe" Tucker instead of "Mo." She's a classy lady, folks, not a Szyslak.

12/11/2006 12:43:46 PM

auctions been relisted... think they would have learned their lesson that you really can't sell high priced stuff on ebay. why they haven't just taken it to christie's or sotheby's i don't know

12/15/2006 10:51:38 PM

it's at $20,000 now w/ 3 days left. i wonder if they buyer will hold onto it for a little while and then just resell at a real auction house like ^ suggested
