> I am not insane so I did not spend $1300 on a used vinyl record, I found mine for $2 at Goodwill.

How is holding onto it instead of selling it for $1300 any less insane than buying it for $1300 in the first place?

If they don't need $1300 cash, they don't have any real reason to sell it
Even if you think in purely transactional terms like "asset currently worth $1300", what's wrong with holding onto an asset? Especially one that's likely to appreciate, not depreciate, as long as you look after it carefully.

And in the meantime, you get to enjoy owning it.

all right let me buy one of your kidneys, after all you only need one.
The logic is a little broken for me... If he really wanted the record, and got it for $2, why would he then sell it and then not have it? Replacing it would cost at least $1300.

You're logic is why so much in this world if fucking broken. Everything is a grift, a hustle, an opportunity for profit.
