"yep, he's a "monster" "

Let's quote him, really enjoyed this topic from him:

which monsters you think you bought for bargain prices compared with their ultra high average price histories??

for me:

sensitive- driving ($567)
limit eccitation- in the dark ($510)
patrol invisible ($486)
roby totondo- for your love ($400)
david gray- let's dance tonight ($362)

The rest of the topic is very cool too: http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/197787

You gotta love that guy!

that thread on discogs has quite a "penis comparison" factor to it

and he's so proud the HE, yes HIM, TRANS-IT, is the man who bought Moskou - Come Back for over 2000 USD, I really love that guy!

Beter duur dan niet te koop, zegguh ze welus. (Better expensive than not for sale they sometimes say).

Allow this man/boy (?) his pleasure, I'd say. Just because we knakenpoetsers don't want to spend such amounts on italo, does this give us the right to make fun of him?! I sense some (penis?)envy from you in this...

This thread on R4r has a large knakenpoetsers-factor to it.

Ofcourse it's not an investment. It's a (crazy!) passion. You only live once, right? If you're gonna think what records will do when you're a grandpa, that's not good I think.  But if I look at my dad (almost 65) or other older people they still listen to the records from their youth so even if you look at it that way it's a good (though crazy I agree) "future-investment".

And what we're talking about is one of the most sought after records by 30/40 year old italo-nerds so...

Really? I didn't know that until it was sold for that amount a couple of months ago, is there other italo stuff that is "worth" that money? I know the original Oxo and Karl Olivas is very expensive too but damned, 2500 euro is a lot, to say the least. As a matter of fact, I do like that song but I never knew it was that hard to find and expensive (although he had to bid against Italoheaven which is always over the top). You guys know a lot more about italo than I do, which one is the most hard to find? I'm just curious.

And yes: to each his own, it's just that trans-it can be very funy sometimes

My (deeper) knowledge is also only from the last ten years of surfing on the net etc. Visiting italo-nerdish sites and viewing what people have on their wantlist or personal top 10 or so. And that Moskow-record I've seen on a lot of lists never knowing what the fuzz is all about then. So in that "gesloten cirkel" it's much hyped probably. People or groups of people create their own holy grails so to say. In that perspective it's very understandable that if you look at this from the outside, spending a couple of thousand euro's on a piece of vinyl can look outrageous. That transit had probably some money left on the bank and followed his (hyped?) italoheart. Can you blame him?

Well just listen (very hard) and try to understand...still working on it myself...

Like said, to each his/her own.

Personally I don't do coke or hooker-stuff (don't you feel dirty after that?).

With a few thousand more it would be a new (small) car for me or some pieces to begin a studio...

maskio?

you should know these things, scarf
