Sadly, it's a little banged up, which I'm not surprised by given how long it seemed to be lost in the mail. The vinyl itself seems to be in good shape though. Man you really can't unsee the mouse pointer on the album cover once you know it's there

I think the normal version has no cursor, but each special or limited edition has its own. I'm pretty sure I've seen on reddit people with different kinds of cursors, in different locations depending on the edition.

CutCopy dropped a "the first decade" box set with a previously unprinted to vinyl first EP and really, really went all out on it. I really would have like a master edition of in ghost colors, as there are just as many remixes over every song on the album from that period where everyone remixed everyone and b-sides but this is really well done. Apparently only 1000 boxes worldwide? Getting this just after seeing them at the millennial nostalgia fest, Just like heaven, is really a 1-2 punch of feels. https://i.imgur.com/lguyvLT.mp4 https://imgur.com/gallery/Wk4oPfA

I was blessed to go back and swoop up the credit card cancels a few days later by hitting the link directly. Deffo a second run is coming but that's apparently it. I'm sure there are stil bands that are unaware just like how desirable their poo poo is (to want and keep, not for speculation. Box Sets really do get loving unruly) even after the clearly sound bell of the vinyl boom.

These people are so afraid of getting ripped off or something, but the reality is they have stuff they aren't using taking up space for no reason that is earning them zero dollars. Were they even her personal collection? I explained all that to her incidentally. I hate to be a dick but if I'm being brutally honest she didn't seem terribly bright in general. I was very obviously giving her the lowest possible price I found reasonable because I wanted to haggle. I was very willing to give her more but anyone knows you never start with your top price. She wouldn't even consider giving me a number to counter. Plus she was mystified by all these "weird" albums which I think she thought were bizarre esoteric bands because somehow in her 70+ years on Earth she's never heard of ZZ Top, The Cars, and Neil Young. What doesn't make sense to me is why she didn't just tell me to come by when her friend who apparently sells the poo poo for her was available. I also happened to come across her because I was going to yard sales the other day and she said she had records to sell. I figured maybe they were in like some part of her house stacked on a big shelf which is why she told me to come back today. But nope, we're talking about maybe 3 milk crates worth of stuff in her shed. I have no idea why she couldn't have just showed me the records there that day. So on the off chance she doesn't want some absurd price for the poo poo I'd have to go waaaaay out to where she lives a third time. So gently caress it. I think part of the problem is that older people hear that "the kids are into vinyls again" and then they see a bunch of click bait articles about some ultra rare Beatles record that sold for tens of thousands of dollars so they just assume every single record out there (especially if it's a Beatles album) is a priceless artifact. I'm hoping she calls me back because I'm dying to know the number she's going to give me. Oh and I just remembered the reason she made a point of looking up that Tom Petty album is because she heard Petty's widow was selling sealed copies of his albums for a thousand dollars a piece.

They hear someone found Action Comics #1 in the attic and sold it for a million bux. Now all comics are worth money.  Now its rare records... like Fleetwood Mac or Herb Albert that will make them rich. She is sitting on a goldmine but just needs to find someone who realizes the true value! Or she will pass away and they will be thrown in a dumpster or sold at the estate sale for a buck a pop.Oh well. Sounds like you aren't missing much unless you are into boomer rock.

There were some good titles in there but nothing I can't live without and a lot of the stuff she had which I would have been interested in is stuff I already have. I'm mostly just annoyed at her wasting my time and generally being a moron. Totally makes more sense to have a second person sell the records for you and take half the money instead of cutting out the middle man and having someone give you 100% of the money. Relatedly, the day I met this lady I got a VG+ copy of There's a Riot Goin' On by Sly and the Family Stone from a different yard sale for two dollars.

I got back from the UK and Ireland yesterday. Ouch... I spent a lot of money on records. Crossed three major albums of my list - one from Felt, Sisters of Mercy, and Fatboy Slim. Safely packed 20-something records in two hardshell suitcases that were in checked bags for the trans-Atlantic journey. Next time will definitely be buying a dedicated case for transporting vinyl despite that.

A lot of the time, the warehouse workers from amazon wont seal the mailers completely so I can pop them open and they're basically like new. I've been saving a bunch of these for the purpose of flying with vinyl. Going to Canada this summer and I already bought 5 records from a friend there.

It feels like this ordeal has been going on for months, but looking at this post, it was actually only 2 weeks. Well, I got my refund. The seller never replied to my messages on discogs, and never participated in my claim for a refund through paypal, so just a few minutes ago my refund was automatically granted.

Nihonniboku posted:What do you mean? Records, especially punk records, are identified by their pressing, eg “first press,” “second press,” and so on. When people stop buying them, or possibly other reasons, the label stops pressing them. If there is a new demand, a new pressing may be ran, which is called a “reissue.” For “reasons,” first pressing or original issues are far preferred to reissues. There may or may not be small differences between pressing or issues (eg address changes, logo changes, inserts, etc). I am under the impression the Fugazi stuff never went out of print, and you’d have to exam the record and sleeve to determine whether you’re buying a original pressing or not. You could be paying nearly $200 for a record you could buy from the label for $15. Given the seller obviously isn’t looking at their stuff, I was making a very funny joke.

I knew rear end in a top hat punks back in the day and they were hardcore (no pun intended) gatekeepers. I also knew some cool ones that were just happy to share the music. I thought Fugazi records never went out of print and were cheap as well, but it looks like Repeater is going for $30ish on the normal market and is out of stock on the Discord website. All my Fugazi records have the price printed on the cover.

My friend was in town the last week, and he told me he put his head into a market stall that was overloaded with records from different places. Some in racks, some just idly stacked on top of them in 'the bad way'. I went with him on the weekend to see if there was anything I fancied and holy poo poo, the pricing was absolutely insane. Talking like $40-60 on regular new releases I could get in down the road for probably $25-30 tops, which is still crazy but that's the marketplace these days. I expect that guy has been there years and years and it boggles my mind why he gets new releases cos nobody is paying those rates for them from what we saw.
