not the answer i was expecting

what record?

i just re-clicked @scutter 's link and got this: UPDATE: Discogs has terminated this sale because the Yeager test pressing has been determined fraudulent. So Prince’s $15,000 “Black Album” remains the site’s Most Expensive Record. Furthermore, a new NPR report suggests Yeager himself was both...

no. never heard of him before yesterday. seems like it might be him flogging his own rarities - maybe he won the lottery and is buying them too, to create a false market.

i'd be somewhat reassured by the description - seems pretty genuine.

i'd tread carefully on the russian one. not based on experience, but if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. would you be covered if you bought on visa? e.g. chargeback? re: cross-checking - not something i've done before, but will be doing in future.

i'd go for this one: http://www.discogs.com/sell/item/151208578 - €17.40 all in. portuguese one just seems to be a distro variant. aside from vinyl quality, i'd usually go for original pressing from country of origin. cooler climates mean fewer warped records too.

i usually go for the cheapest, allowing for postage rates (i've seen 300% discrepancies in postage alone). you could always ask the seller for pics of their actual copy if you're unsure. seller ratings are usually a good indicator.
