So I checked ebay sold auctions and people have already paid anywhere between 75 and 150 dollars for the Fiona Apple Tidal LP that no one is in possession of and you can still order for the original retail price. Why are people this stupid? It's not like it's hard to just google that poo poo and find it for sale on Vinyl Me, Please.

Imagine how stupid and easily manipulated you think people are. The truth is they're probably 100 times as stupid and easily manipulated.

stay depressed posted:the backbone of all human civilization is taking advantage of other's stupidity This is correct. And the sad thing is any attempt to fix it will eventually be exploited by those who are good at manipulating others. Off to chug a prozac shake and listen to some synthwave on vinyl.

I wonder what happens when someone gets one of the defective copies second hand. Send it back to the flipper who then has to send it back to VMP? It looks like VMP has gotten rid of the single month option maybe some people just want the record without the hassle of joining the club... who am I kidding. People are dumb.

You can probably find the Guest soundtrack for retail price by now. Usually the poo poo that stays expensive is from big name/iconic bands. sporklift posted:I wonder what happens when someone gets one of the defective copies second hand.

Only things I've bought over $50 were big box sets like 69 Love Songs.

The problem with that record is that there's a synthwave scene with a lot of crazy assed collectors, and it released under people's radar, so you usually have to drop $50 on it. An Amazon seller or a discogs seller will occasionally list it for less if you're patient. I grabbed mine for $25, still sealed. quote:That explains a lot Gotta make a living somehow.

Offtopic but don't know where else to ask: are albums/movies waaaaay overpriced in Australia or is that just videogames? I heard a few years back that stuff like Morrowind sold for around 100AUD a pop. e: for content, just picked up the Zig-Zags' Ripping Death/Riddle of Steel single. Pretty nice, very 90s feel. Cover comes with guitar tabs slathered in high-school metalhead doodles. Grand Prize Winner fucked around with this message at 08:50 on May 12, 2017 |

I heard a few years back that stuff like Morrowind sold for around 100AUD a pop. Yeah basically everything media and technology is overpriced here. We are far away and retailers have historically failed to realise that the internet exists. They are all currently making GBS threads themselves about Amazon opening warehouses here later this year and promising to undercut the hell out of everyone. Since I buy most of my music from bandcamp or amazon in the states, I can't wait.

How is the build quality of that bobs burger set? I was thinking of surprising my girlfriend with it, but $70 is steep for a tv music set.

It's good, and the $70 version has a hardcover lyrics book and a piano and ukulele sheet music book and a bunch of other more useless things. I got it for my wife's birthday and she loves it.

Thanks for recommending the bobs burgers music album, it came in today and has been a charm. One of my favorite releases this year and ive already bought a lot of dumb poo poo for the year not being half over. Records are ok and not that bad. edit: i got the standard edition that comes with the white 45 (?), not the box

It is kinda pricy, but it looks like it'd be sweet if I had room for it. I'm using an Ikea Kallax shelf to store my records now, but I'd much prefer to be able to go through them crate style instead of just seeing the spines. What's everyone else using for storage?

This guy I know who runs a junk shop near me has a bunch of long (like a bit over 2 feet) thick plastic boxes that were used for storing auto parts, and he sold me one for like 5 bucks. They're pretty much the greatest thing ever for records, they're the exact width of an LP and I guess you could even turn them on their side and stack them up like shelves if you wanted. Then whatever LPs didn't fit in the plastic crate spilled over into a small cardboard box. I guess I'll have to hit that guy up for another auto parts crate eventually.
