I almost pre-ordered an album I already pre-ordered, need to start making lists of things I'm expecting

If you don't have records.txt yet, you need to level up your collecting game

I have definitely come home with records that I wasn't 100% sure I didn't already own and the other day I was convinced it had finally happened and I'd accidentally doubled up. But I hadn't.

I've told this story here before, but I doubled up in the same day once. Basically I was waffling about whether to buy something at one store, and by the time I got to a second store I incorrectly thought I'd landed on not buying previously, so I decided to go for it. The silver lining is that the first one I bought had a defect affecting playability that I didn't see, so the second one was needed anyway.

Toe Rag posted:I'm not very materialistic, but my records are something I do feel an attachment to. I've given away a few over the years, but I've never sold any of them. Even records I have I don't listen to anymore I wouldn't want to part with because they mean something to me or remind me of something Same though I am a bit more materialistic, what with my home video collection and my books collection and my stupid funnybooks collection. But yes most of what I have I hate the idea of selling because they all meant something and the electric goop in my skull wants to cling to the past.

I'd probably end of getting rid of all my records rather than pare it down if it ever came to it.

Been going through my collection again, this has got to be like the 5th time at minimum. Trying to work up the nerve to get rid of the casettes as it's not really a format I want to return to. I'm sure I'll also fall out of the honeymoon period in another ten or fifteen years.

Barry posted:This might actually be my white whale but I sure as poo poo ain't paying $600+ for it (or any album for that matter) or buying some jankass bootleg I always wonder who the hell is buying these things but I'll bet they're also people who don't ever dare listen to the record. I paid a hundred dollars for a record ONCE and I ended up selling it later for more than triple that.

I was mirin my records on discogs and found a surf curse record spiked to trips in the last two years or so. I had to dig and found out they were partially me-too'd and were dropped by their record label. So anyway, what horrors of profitability haunt your guys' collections? Difficulty: No (charles) manson. Apparently the allegations were unfounded or retracted. They seem to be playing gigs and they played coachella...which wouldn't book em if they felt the situation was bad.

Not a record but I have a poster of Melvin's + Napalm Death + Melt Banana from the Savage Imperial Death March tour that if someone wasn't aware they'd assume I'm a fascist. It's in a nice frame and I should probably sell it tbh.

I thought PWR BTTM was great and they got huge immediately and then it turned out that one of the band sexually assaulted a fan at a show and the other one enabled it and they lost their entire fanbase over night as well as their touring musicians and all the bands that toured with them. I was super bummed out about it and they went from one of my favorite bands that was I was super excited about to never listening to them again. But that's just a story about me being sad that I band I loved was trash people. I don't really care what any of my poo poo is worth and I very rarely sell anything. So far all the stuff I sold is Third Man Vault stuff I didn't want. Nihonniboku posted:I'm a huge fan. Saw him perform a few months ago, phenomenal live Absolutely. Hands down my favorite concert I've ever been to and that's saying a lot. He came to Boston earlier this year but I opted not to go for a variety of reasons. I was not happy with having to do that.

Really feel weird about my Micheal Jackson records now. Dunno if I'll ever play them out again. I had this record in my collection for a long time and finally just threw it away because it is mostly just a bunch of bigoted rants. Joe Speaks Anyways. Here is a palette cleanser. I grabbed some random colored wax from the shelves to make a gif.

I have a bunch of Brand New records I could sell for a nice profit and probably should since I haven’t listened to them since Jesse Lacey got outed as a huge creep. But I have a problem letting anything go pretty much all of the time.

Now is probably the time to point out that if you have pretty much any classic rock albums you've got a few dozen to throw in this category.

pwn posted:Before anyone gets too excited about this, in 2008 I bought a Stephen Malkmus double LP from Best Buy for $13.99, a new Cat Power LP from a Madison record shop for $10.99, and in 2007 (2006?) I way overpaid for a limited box set of AFI's December Underground in 7" format at Hot Topic—an extremely mid-2000s sentence—for Please note I had to update the AFI price after referring to the original hype and price stickers, adhered to the inside of my DVD of Pink Floyd The Wall.  I used to do this when I bought multiple things on one day and an item had no place for the hype sticker. Now that I have acetate sheets I may try to remove them. At any rate it was very important that the correct price be posted. Please resume Problematic Bands chat Fake edit I stopped mid-post and fukken did it    Feels drat good. Hype preservation. A bit of heat from a hair dryer loosened the glue up, rather surprised it didn't give more of a fight after 15-16 years of adhesion. That should boost the value if I ever decide to sell it, especially as we approach the Hot Topic phase of the millennial nostalgia wave I also just noticed that the price was crossed out and I paid $12.98,  that's not nearly so badReal edit CPL593H posted:Now is probably the time to point out that if you have pretty much any classic rock albums you've got a few dozen to throw in this category.

I opened the discogs app just for you guys and sorted by value a couple ways and the Foo Fighters Hail Satin RSD comes up pretty consistently much to my annoyance. At least to my knowledge they haven't done anything problematic, but did have their drummer die unexpectedly. Other contenders are the Triumph Allied Forces 40th Anniversay box set and one of the Queen 40th anniversary CD box sets. Blasterpiece by Bear Ghost, and the Pikachu vaporwave album that suckered a bunch of us shows up as well and oddly when I sort by max value a bog standard edition of McCartney iii shows up. I'm betting some one accidentally spent $283 dollars on it and thought they were getting a fancier edition.

I’ve been looking it up occasionally on eBay, hoping that it will eventually drop below $100 for an opened copy. I want to listen to it, damnit! They gave their music to some lovely film early in their career for some film that questioned the link between HIV and AIDS. They’ve scrubbed that from all of their web presence, I think they’re trying to forget they supported that. Especially when they then went on to do things like troll the Westwhatever Baptists scumbags. That’s all that comes to my mind for lovely things they’ve done.

I'll have to double check my math to make sure I haven't yet hit the tax limit for selling online, but for $100 I could be persuaded to sell mine. I'm not a Foo Fighters fan and my mom was disappointed in the covers.

My vinyl junkies order just showed up, big thanks to whoever said they had the tron sound track a couple months ago. But holy gently caress am I glad I'm not a collector and bought these to listen to because the cardboard got beat up in shipping. Thankfully all the actual records seem OK.
