DETROIT — While Jack White’s untitled, secretly released new album was given out for free, it’s fetching big bucks on the secondary market.
On eBay, sales of the album — which was issued to customers at Third Man Records locations on Friday, free of charge, with any purchase in the store — have reached as high as $1,000, and several more are listed on the site for between $500 and $1,000.
As of Monday morning, 51 copies of the album had sold on eBay, for prices ranging between $299 and $1,000. Of those, 12 of the sale prices were undisclosed. But the 39 with prices publicly available sold for an average of $494.82.
White has so far been silent on the release, which came with no warning.
The album was issued on white vinyl in a white sleeve with the words “NO NAME” written in blue on the record’s label, and was only available at Third Man Records.
