Johnny Cash "At Folsom Prison" Discogs Sales History

I recently acquired a Johnny Cash “At Folsom Prison”. Checking it on Discogs I discovered an unbelievable sales history with an outlier of $300 for a mint sealed example. If I saw a second high seller, I would suspect a little scam but this was a one time deal. Not sure what to make of it. Any ideas?

It was sealed. Mint/Mint grading. I don't think it's worth that much but somebody did.

 

Yeah. Some things just go for crazy prices. I guess some people have money to burn and don't really care. They can afford to not have patience.

 

I have a mint sealed Tommy Dorsey - Greatest Hits.....anybody got some money to burn?

 

During the initial eBay gold rush, my brother would sell refurbished Atari 2600 kits complete with games for not much less than a current Microsoft or PlayStation bundle. We figured most of the buyers were doctors, dentists, realtors and the like. If you're making six or seven figures a year, what do you really care about the difference between $50 and $300?

 

Exactly. Some buyer got something they wanted and the seller got a premium (IMHO) for the sale. At the end of the something is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.

 

It's not what I would spend $300 on

 

There are two more offers for sale of sealed copies......around the $300 mark. I’ll be interested to see how long they sit there. Sealed vinyl is a mystery. Is the record warped...is it the variation you expect?

 

That $300 sales record disappeared.
