Well, one thing to look at is that vinyl is on the uprise. Large chains like HMV are expanding their vinyl floorspace as consumers realize they either miss or are just finding out about the whole "vinyl experience" of artwork, inserts, and the whole physical-ness of flipping the record over be it on a $10 garage-sale 'table or a $150,000 unit for the very serious turntable freak. CD's are waving goodbye and downloads are for the throwaway crowd who are either too young yet or are just as happy listening to a pre-programmed radio station.
As always, depends on the genre of music, where you sell it etc. Last time I checked, a 2-song 7" at the local wax shop was selling @ $6.
Would I buy it? Well, I'm a cheap bastard who gets most of my old vinyl at thrift & used stores, so I'm the wrong person to ask. Colored vinyl (solids and splatters esp.) and inserts are always a plus, though. If an upgrade to gatefold for the sleeve isn't much, there's also that to consider as well...
