What is it worth?

[anonymousbrunette]

This thread is for seasoned and budding collectors of Jack White related merchandise. Thanks to Scheckywhite & Barrowc for their earlier work coming up with estimated values on White Stripes gear. Please remember that the market value of collectibles fluctuate, and are based on current sales (when available.) Thanks for contributing.

[Scheckywhite]

I attempted a rather long winded version on the littleroom which probably needs some serious updating. I'll see what I can find and repost it.

THIS IS THE FIRST POST UPDATED with recent auctions, private sales, current market and new items.



Ive Just updated this list, have a look and tell me if there's anything missing or wrong, this is just a starting point really.

Please keep in mind that items can go for more or less and that the prices reflect their current value. When the band tour or when its christmas the prices can go up significantly.

I hope you enjoy this its taken hours.

I have used ww.all.at/expecting to find out about the different pressings (but not for GBMS items). And have used ebay for the values.

"It Had To Be You..." Thanks Sean and Colin! This is a huge help - your efforts will not go unappreciated.

I wish there were something akin to Expresso Beans where the community can contribute to maintaining the list of current sales. Not sure what it would entail.

For the record, the inchophone has gone up considerably over the last 6 months and the accompanying 3" records sell for $175 US at Third Man, which is considered a good price.

www.popsike.com/ is a good starting point for prices

These were sold at a triple record release party (the other two were Hentchmen records) held at the Gold Dollar 23rd of October £5000+ (name your price)

I was recently told a hand painted version of LB would be approx. $15,000 USD from a person with 'connections'. Wow! Is this really worth that much? Is #8-15 worth much more than #1-7? I have a Love Buzz test pressing (1 of 10) and know of others that I could buy for $5,000 to $7,500. Seems to me Nirvana's first single, Sub Pop's first Singles Club release would be worth much more. Even the Sex Pistols A&M unreleased GSTQ 45 recently sold for about $13,500 (unplayed mint). I guess my real question is, does this reflect the fanaticism of WS fans (maybe similar to Misfits fans) or is that price estimate BS?

The £5,000 price seems more reasonable. Believe me, I understand it is 'worth' whatever someone is willing to pay, I just question how many people would be willing to pay $15,000? Anyway, just thought I'd get a conversation started. Cheers!

I have been made the same sort of offer, I would think there are not 15 people in the world that would pay $15K for this single, if one came up for auction it might reach that if a couple of people got into a bidding war, but I have my doubts as this one has been around for a while with no takers.

On the other hand if I had one would I sell it for $15K - NO

[candycaneboy03]

so are those prices the current avg prices or are they still the same from when posted in the LR ages ago?

[Scheckywhite]

still kind of the same ive edited the post with a few small corrections
