How much were vinyl records selling for?


Does anyone know what the list price for records was when
CD's took over?

If I remember correctly, back then you could still get a brand new VW Super Beetle for about $2K. I'm not sure what that means to this thread. :-)
Oooo. I may have been going too far back. Let's say it was still below $3500 by the time ceedees became really popular.
In 1986 I bought a luxman lv105 and went and bought some albums before I came home to hook it up. I still have the luxman and the original bill I threw in an envelope in the box with the manual. I also put the receipt for the lps in that same envelope for some reason ( probably laziness) . Cd's were from 14.99 to 24.99 here . The bill for lps 3.99 each for Pink Floyd Animals, The Wall, ZZ Top Tres Hombres, Ian Hunter "You're never alone with a schizophrenic", Flash and The Pan(no bar codes on any of them ). Plus the last two Msfl copies he had in the store, Dark Side of the Moon and Steve Miller Fly like an Eagle both what I thought was expensive then at 15.99 each. Plus I got 10% off for buying 5 or more lps for the original pressings but not on the Msfl copies. Still have them all and all in great shape. Bought them to replace the first ones I bought that were not handled well during crazy parties and some of the covers stained with one ellicit libation or another. Was,t ME though, thats my story and I,m sticking to it just like that brownish stuff smeared on the front of that BIG BAMBOO album ! Cheers
I was getting ripped off!! I still have a bunch of my records with the price on the plastic. I obviously didn't shop well, it was convenience I guess. Cactus was open until 1 am.
It was Peaches in the southeast. We paid a little premium, but they got the releases before most any other vendor back then. Even on our relatively modest system back then, most of us still resisted ceedees well into the 90's. And only then as an additional source.

Thanks for sparking the memories! My wife and I are having a good laugh at the thoughts of the age of our kids back then along with the memories of good times and good friends!
