Pre-orders of Taylor Swift’s Collector’s CD, Cassette, and Vinyl editions sold out fast — especially the CD, now flipping for £50–£60+.
Sabrina Carpenter’s rise from Disney alum to global pop icon has been meteoric — and her hit single Espresso only added fuel. This 12” single pressed on liquid vinyl — one of the most collectible formats in the vinyl world — was launched via Blood Records in an edition of just 1,000 units.
With over 65 million monthly Spotify listeners, the demand was baked in. The vinyl’s unique design (literal liquid swirls inside the disc) and limited nature made this a high-velocity flip even before its official release.
Retail price was set at £45, typical for boutique variants but premium enough to filter casual buyers.
Only 1,000 units released — and because it's a liquid vinyl, the collector value skyrocketed.
Our staff held off on pinging until the last minute to avoid leaks and price crashes — a tactic that worked well.
Immediate resale prices hit £300, over 6x retail, with buyers flocking from both music and collector niches.
Listing date considerations came in: official release is 4 July, so pre-orders should go up no earlier than 4 May to meet eBay’s 30-day rule.

This flip was a perfect storm: low quantity, high-profile artist, premium format, and stealthy execution. Liquid vinyls already sit in a niche of their own, and when paired with a chart-dominating single like Espresso, it’s a recipe for resale success.
Our staff’s decision to delay alerts kept bots and scalpers at bay — a rare win for the early community. While we expect resale prices to remain strong, post-shipping flips in July could bring another price bump. If you got in early, you brewed yourself a winner.
