www.gemm.com Like eBay, there are always some outliers on the expensive side, but you can still get a good idea of what the market price of an album is.
Looks like you got a great deal.

Amazing how much certain things cost…I got the very first Throwing Muses LP for $7.99, and one place has it going for $158 on gemm. I have the Catherine Wheel "Painful Thing" EP on CD and that goes for about $80. It's kind of fun to see what things I have that I didn't realize are tough to find. The original Wax Trax-pressed version of "Naive" by KMFDM still goes for $134, and mine is signed. Crazy.

By the way - I'm uncertain as to what the statement, "open through April," meant - although, I assume it meant the end of April, not the beginning (that would be through March)
Nonetheless - Orpheus Records in Clarendon is closing, and they're dropping all of their prices accordingly. It's worth stopping by if someone is so inclined to want to pick up some LPs on the cheap.

It's not uncommon for gemm to have some REALLY outrageous prices though. I've seen things that go for $10 on ebay list at $100+ on gemm. Buyer beware.

Really? I may have to stop in one last time to say goodbye to Rick and his scary toenails.

Hi! New boarder here! Just wanted to add to what dave24 said about Orpheus Records… they are closing down, but right now they'll be open until the end of April. I think right now everything up to $38 is priced at 50% off. I've been going there the last month and picking up some good stuff at a reasonable price. The pickings are getting slimmer, but there's still good finds to be found.
