I was thinking about upgrading my Virtual Reality headset and considered selling a few things to do it...when I stumbled on the current second-hand prices for the Star Trek Original Series 15 CD set from La La Land. Some sellers have it for over £500, I've seen some sellers at £1, 499!

Is it really that valuable, or are these prices inflated? It's just that I bought a copy when it came out so am slightly tempted to offer it for sale.

And on a wider note...where do you tend to look when you're determining how valuable certain scores are?

Seriously? I bought two copies and am not tempted at all. The internet doesn't behave like a normal "free market" or the price would drop since the set is being mostly re-released. But you can check the sold price ranges on Discogs, and on ebay by ticking the "sold" and "completed" boxes to look for recent sales.

eBay. Ended auctions show if people are actually bidding/buying at the listed prices.

Discogs, which shows how many are on the market (via that site at least), dates sold, helpful info of that nature.

We just sold four of them in the Brent Armstrong estate CD sale and while I don't want to give the exact prices (which I don't recall anyway) it was more in the $300-400 range.

A lot of titles go on eBay with crazy prices, but don't sell.

The internet can level the playing field like the "free market" is supposed to, but there's alot of ugly parasites trying to exploit the "limited release" market. Day 1 of the release, they try to sell double the price on ebay because being limited, it's technically "out of print." Pathetic.
I can understand discussing buying options for OOP releases, but this after-market selling discussion here where the LABELS sell is insulting to the labels who originated the product.

That's the cost of two new tires for my car!

Yeah, I needed 4 new tires recently to pass car inspection, $500. Point taken. But also sort of proves that LLL should get the profits.

Car tires? I'll be on the bus listening to Star Trek on my Sony Discman!

I'm looking for one of those sets, but not going to pay astronomical for it. The new individual sets are going to have to suffice for now

LLL had sales in general and on TREK releases, so there were ample chances to get The Box.

"Glorious....glorious!"

Now that most of this music is being reissued (one disc at a time), I would think that the price for the 15-disc set will start to come down.

To be honest, I hadn’t realised La La Land had reissued the music in this set.

What type do you get, formula one!? I'd get 4 for less.

"Is the 15CD La La Star Trek really valuable?"
IIt is to me. I have enjoyed it very much ever since I acquired it and it keeps on bringing me joy.
I only bought one box and I'll not sell it.

D.S.

Not as much as the "Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny" CD.

I had to get four new tires this month. $760 total including installation, disposable fees, other taxes, etc.
Think of all the soundtracks I could've bought with that much money!
