Actually, the value of vinyl boots has dropped somewhat in the last 5 -10
years. At the best, their value has remained the same. The reason: the
internet, eBay, etc.
In the "old days" vinyl boots could only be found at used record stores &
record conventions. Dealers could charge $30.00 - $50.00 for them.
In the late '80s, I paid $50.00 for the GONNA RAPE YOU 3-record '79
boot. Most vinyl boots at record conventions & stores were priced in the
$20.00 - $30.00 range. I remember the excitement if I ever found a Who
vinyl boot priced at $8.00 or $10.00 (usually, these were single record
boots).
Now you can find vinyl boots quite readily on eBay, & they usually sell in
the $10.00 - $20.00 range. Some may reach late-'80s prices, but most fall
short.
But hang on to those vinyl boots! I'm sure in 150 - 200 years things will
turn around & their value will increase!
