Through my experience,
the reason, why some represses are so expensive, is SOLELY THE ITALO DISCO AUDIENCE.
Why? Because most, if not all, are fanatics.
They want the record now, not tomorrow. Not after a month, no way.
They want it REGISTERED SHIPPING, SAME DAY DELIVERY, DELIVERED ON THEIR BED.
The Italo disco market is based on the idea of: "Rare / Mega Rare / Super Rare / Ultra Rare"...basically anything that can lead (young - and foolish as we all were?) vinyl addicts to be convinced and be driven to participate in a lifetime fairytale where a record copy is drawn out of an attic, or some old lady's old house, or cellar, gets immediate attention, gets priced and is now repressed, as it was for so long hidden like a mystery from the eyes of all mankind to be revealed in 2014.
This psychological beahaviour (on behalf of the buyers) became know to all those who wanted to be involved in repressing (sellers as well) so...be prepared for those prices. My opinion: Dont buy. You will live.
W A I T...the price will drop. It will.
