b2000b Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I just purchased Coldplay The Singles for $40 (USD). All the Vinyl's are there, and the box is is good condition (excluding for a tear in the left corner of the cover) It also came with a bag (no mug). I believe i got a good deal, did I? Is the Bag rare? Thanks for anyones help ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Sounds like a decent deal to me. If all the vinyl and sleeves are clean, it's a good grab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technicolour TX Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Got this awhile back and it's really great. I still love spinning vinyl so having a singles set is perfect !! The sound of these are very good too....they are pressed on thick heavy vinyl (180 gram or 200 gram, I don't remember). Good stuff here. I've never seen the bag before, sounds pretty rare to me.

Jedi Leo Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Really makes me wanna buy a turntable :( Maybe I can wish it for Christmas! Anyone can suggest a good one moderately priced? (Can you get a turntable with earphone plug by the way? I don´t have decent speakers :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Honestly that sounds pretty good. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AerodynamiX Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I've bought the set (new) for 90 euro's so it's a bargain! I love it too, en the audio quality is extremely good :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I bought mine on eBay for €28 (or £28, I can't remember). It's still sealed but it came without the bag and mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Can you get a turntable with earphone plug by the way? I don´t have decent speakers :( You can always buy a portable turntable that has the speakers built right in (the "suitcase" models, if you will). You carry it around like a piece of luggage, and just plug it in to hear it. There are lots of models to choose from, but I'd stay away from Crosley. I hear there are always problems with those. Or, you can buy an actual turntable that you connect to a receiver as more of a standard home audio piece. Speaking of which, in my opinion, Ion and Audio Technica both make decent turntables at good prices (usually under $80). I would suggest one of these as a good entry-level turntable. Usually Amazon stocks them. Not sure if you can plug an earphone in them though. Do you have a receiver? If so, you can plug the turntable into the receiver and simply use the out-jack of the receiver to plug your headphones into. As for speakers, they are relatively cheap nowadays. In fact, if you have any pawn shops, thrift shops or charity stores in your area, you can usually buy a good decent pair of used speakers for around $20 or $30. Later in time you could always get something new, again, through Amazon, Fry's, Best Buy, or whatever else is around your neck of the woods. Despite what people may say, you don't have to spend massive amounts of money to have a good quality sound system. And at the end of the day, it's whatever you want, what fits your own budget, and getting to hear the music you love. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Can you get a turntable with earphone plug by the way? I don´t have decent speakers :( What kind of stereo do you have (like a mini component or a tuner/etc...)? In either case, a nice little pair of shelf speakers won't cost you much. Not sure of any turntable with a headphone jack, but if your system had a phono connection you can run headphone from the stereo. If you run mini component, seek a phono built for that system. Denon makes a fantastic entry level Turntable for under $100usc, but you can't go wrong with an old Technics, if you find one at a garage sale, etc... (wouldn't pay the price for new). I'd stray from Ion and other mid-level brands, since they have so-so reviews for reliability, but I see Ion has good cartridge availability, which is a plus. Personally, I like Denon, and primarily use their components in my audio system, so I'm biased, but it will last you forever. My first Denon turntable is 25 years old and still runs without issue. My newest Denon is five years old, purchased for its USB copying capabilities. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzBox99 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I actually got a really good deal on this for $30 at my local Newbury Comics. But there's a problem, on the Blue Room EP the package wasn't completely glued and the label on Speed of Sound says Thing I Don't Understand on both sides. I know it's not that big but it annoys me that I don't know what side is what song. Do you guys think I could return it for another copy? I know they take defective products back and give you another copy, but I'm not sure if they'll consider that a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samc83 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Ordered a copy of this yesterday $19.99 which is cheap converting it into £s. But then postage took it up to £41. Still I reckon it is a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle-o Xyloto Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Sounds like a bargain to me... if only I had a turntable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz1853 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Looking to buy the singles 1999-2006. What price does everyone think would be good for the set? I'm looking at around £40 without the bag and mug. Is that good or is there a chance they may pop-up for cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowTeardrops13 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 In New England, we have this record store called Newbury Comics and they sell the box set for $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrman78 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Definitely. I bought mine four or five years ago for about $55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trey2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Got the set last week for about $40. No bag or mug, but I love it soo far. However, I jumped the gun and bought the cheapest record player I could find, which apparently only plays at 33 speed. This meant extra editing on most of the tracks to speed up the playback to that of a 45. I'm considering taking back the turntable for one with adjustable speed. If the store will let me, that is. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billdaniels Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Yes, purchasing Coldplay's "The Singles 1999-2006" vinyl box set for $40 USD with all vinyl included, except for a tear in the cover's left corner, and a bonus bag but no mug, likely represents a good deal considering the overall condition and completeness of the set. The rarity of the bag may vary, but the inclusion of it adds value to the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
