Interesting to see that at least six of these have been reissued in recent years. Do you think the availability of reissues has any effect on price?

As with rare books, I think a reissue definitely drops the prices on Poor to VG copies of the album. But the VG++ to NM copies will always command high prices because they're selling mainly for their collector value.

Terapeak is a great site for researching when you have a fairly specific search, because it only shows one page of the top results for whatever keywords you plug in. It's not great for broad searches. For instance, it would be nice to know what some of those $30 & $20-range lps are just below the page, but you can't see them. Searching eBay closed auctions in broad categories is best for that kind of research, even though it only goes back 15 days.

If you want to research the high prices for a specific title, though, Terapeak is your best bet. (your best free one, that is.)
