...this is only owned by a certein amount of people which is about 18% of the people in the world.

Let's see...18% of 6 billion is, :scratch2: is, :scratch2: is, :scratch2: yep it's rare all right.

missed it by that much!

Let's see, 6.8 Billion people x .18 = 1.2 Billion people own this record.
Must be the highest selling record of all time. Gee, and I'm not one of the 18%.
How did I miss out on this record???

I don't know what the gibberish is about. This is a regular LP issue that was sold at concerts given at the original Hall in New Orleans, but presigned by the musicians. One of the concerts was recorded by PBS. As for the LP itself, I have that exact title, though not signed. It's worth $20 - $75 to a collector, with the autographs being a nice bonus.

It's a small world I guess. I don't have one either.

 

[jhoyt]

Please tell me that wasn't a serious CL post...

For $170000 I think you could get all the original members to show up at your house (even the dead ones) and perform the record twice for you... maybe even get the drummer to dress like Barney the Dinosaur.

Ok, but are the signatures worth the extra 169,925 bones?

 

[superdog]

I wonder what they think when they get no serious calls?

 

[finnbow]

I'm considering taking a 2nd mortgage for this one. For some odd reason, my wife disagrees. Go figure.

Hey, now's your chance!

 

[tboat4]

Hey, now's your chance!

There you go, I'll just dip into my retirement accounts and invest $170k in an album. I'm sure my wife and my financial advisor will understand.:nono::nono:

The seller has got to be out of his mind, or trolling for someone else who is.

I have dixieland records on small independent labels way older than 1985, and I doubt I could get more than a few bucks apiece if I wanted to sell them.

That whole thing sounds weird - the feeling I get is an Asian language badly translated to English.

Sorry, I'm not like this, but did you really DO that math? If I missed the joke, I apologize
