also did some checking, there are 1,576,682 results found for the search term LP on eBay today, and this is a great indication of the past several days....lots of records for sale on the big vinyl machine, no wonder prices have come down.  If I am still up to speed, eBay charges listing fees, whether the records sell or not.  So why would anybody list some of the most common LPs if there are already hundreds of them already up for sale?  What makes their copy any better than the other 600?  ebay is doing just fine, thank you......

some other interesting notes from searches on eBay on the August 14th, 2012:

10,965 results found for Beatles LP

and i'm not sure who's buying these records (my guess is not many), but ebay makes a killing on listing fees!
