Well, you can get the CD for under 1200 yen, so I'm not sure why this vinyl would fetch so much (especially since LPs are usually cheaper than CDs).

Last release from the AY25 series and seldomly up for sale. The price is ridiculous though.

Not to mention that vinyl was being phased out in favor of CDs in the late 80s, so they probably didn't make a lot of these either.

Best case is that high prices like these will make more sellers try to sell it to make a good profit meaning that none of them will go as high as this one. This happens sometimes, although I'm not exactly optimistic about nabbing one of these at a good price.

There was one on eBay some weeks ago and it went for about $100. No obi though but that price seems much more realistic to me.

A lot of dirt on the back on this one and it seems to lack the sticker as well. So unless the obi is really that rare 70k sounds like a great payday for the seller here.

I can hear the seller laughing like a little piglet... if the sale is real. These days I don't even trust Yahoo sales anymore.
