Hi, i think this might be a useful thread in terms of asking each other what the value of certain hard-to-find records is. discogs is not always a help, as there's maybe a couple of copies for sale, but what if it's never been sold?
so,
i wanna start this topic with a record i found at a local store today.





It looks like quite a rare and unofficial release to me, and was recorded in 1982, whereas "mad max III" came out in 1985.

is this even a soundtrack, and if yes, how much would you pay for this (in vg condition)?

Did you upload a picture? I can't see it here...

Looks like a boot that has literally nothing to do with any Mad Max film.

Most definitely a Motorhead bootleg LP.

Popsike is a great site that shows auction results for harder to find LP's.

You can find the auction results for "Mad Max 3" HERE

A couple of things about popsike - you can see how prices fluctuate - sometimes you'll see an LP that used to catch $100 every time it was listed in the early 2000's, but only sells for $40 now - and vice-versa. It is an awesome asset though. I used to manage an independent retail record store, and there were times that popsike was an invaluable tool. Another cool thing - especially when there are several listings archived of a rare LP - is that you can get some more information on records that you can't seem to find anything about elsewhere. Just scrolling through the "Mad Max 3" list - someone has it listed as a show from Paris in 1982. A little more research into each listing might yield more information.

Sure, how many actions can you perform as a registered member?

[Se.Vero]

oh, my bad.. but i searched a quite a few last night, and had no problems.
this is what their faq's say:


As a member, you can perform more queries than an unregistered user - but the number of daily queries is still limited and depends on server load.

The only proviso with Popsike is ..... see post below!

The only proviso with Popsike is that it only recognises and stores a sale when a record goes for more than $25. So that record might well have sold 100 times for less, and you won’t know. I tend to second source a value if there are only a few (3 or less) on Popsike, just in case they are the exceptions. Obviously if there are a lot of sales of a particular release you are on safer ground.
