Case and point, Ryan Adams' original Gold lp would sell for $100-$135 consistantly before its re-issue. After the re-issue, it NEVER goes that high. Doesn't even break $25 now. Same goes for Elliott Smith when they re-issued XO ($100) and Figure 8 ($200). Prices plummeted. Next up: Ben Harper. His vinyl is doing the same thing.
Most people don't care if it's an original or re-issue, only collectors do. The people bidding those up so high just wanted the vinyl - now they can get it for cheap. They see no reason to pay $150 for a record they can get for $20.
Just my $.02.

Exactly right, and if it's a 180g repressing most people will think the new one is the better one, even though no two records sound the same.
In which case the original goes down even more.
You could probably still move it for $350, but you'll have a lot less takers and it'll take a LOT longer to move it, like several months on Discogs.
