I was looking on Amazon at KMFDM singles on vinyl when Tin Omen single came up. I happen to own it, but was curious how much it was going for. I checked on eBay, same price! Anyone else sitting on this little fortune?

Never buy records from Amazon. Problem solved.

Yeah they'll randomly jack up prices on shit once production stops. Not just records but any kind of tiny commodity like that. Plus you've got second hand resellers going through amazon so it'll automatically select a crazy expensive item priced by those sellers. I haven't used amazon to purchase something directly in years, pretty sure. Always a bummer when I get something off ebay and amazon fulfills the order without telling me. Absolutely hate ordering anything online. People call me batshit for it but idk I'd rather not line Jeff's pockets more than I have to.

Well it's usually third party sellers jacking up the prices but I also have had issues with damaged records/jackets sold directly from Amazon but it's used to be an issue with defects.

I'll never ever buy music on eBay again after checking out discogs, unless of course I cross reference and it's cheaper, but that hasn't happened yet.

No one will buy it for that price. A record is worth what it sells for.
If I already didn’t have it I could stretch to around 25usd for a Tin Omen in excellent condition. I recall buying it for around 100sek (approx 10 usd) sometime around the year 2000. But not many aside from dedicated collectors cared about vinyl back then.

Discogs or EBay if you REALLY want it. I don’t think it’s one of Skuppy’s better singles. Hell the best version (IMHO) of Tin Omen is on the Worlock single.
