I understand I could get a few but the same records x 2 i think is bullshit... Would be down for a trade if there are items you do not want!

They were like shrink wrapped in the bundle and it had a sticker that said 10x LP grab bag on it. You figured they would have a) more than 10 records total and b ) see i bought two and try and at least grab from another stack that would have less than 10 of the same record. As you can see i am a bit bitter on this as I have bought multiple grab bags from many labels, including relapse and never had that happen...

I don't think it was ever advertised as not a ploy to get rid of dead stock... but the 10 records repeated is pretty garbage. All that said... did they have this line there when the grabbag was ordered? It sucks that the dups are the actual grabbags themselves and not individual records, but they gave a vague warning. "10 randomly selected LPs for $40. May contain Relapse and 3rd party titles. If ordering more than 1 grab bag, you may receive duplicates. No refunds or exchanges."

deletedunknown Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Sucks that they'd send two exact same packs. I'm always wary of things like that with grab bag deals. For just one pack, the Relapse grab bag seems pretty decent, though. I got a number of things I've been putting off buying for a while and, on the plus side, 2LP releases didn't count for 2 of the 10. Christian Mistress - Possession Opprobrium (Incubus)- Serpent Temptation Goblin Rebirth - Goblin Rebirth Bloodiest - st Zombi - Cosmos The Great Tyrant - The Trouble With Being Born Coffins/Ilsa split Zombi - Spirit Animal Zombi - Shape Shift Windhand - Grief's Infernal Flower The last four are releases I own already, so if there were actually other releases in packs, I'd be interested in trades. And to add some deals, Best Buy has two of the Melvins solo EPs for $6.99 each right now.

It did have that tag of you could get duplicates. Im totally okay and understand that. I bought two of the last round of grab bags from them and i think i got like 3 duplicates? And actually had distro items which cut down on the possibility of duplicates. I totally get that these are on deep discount and it is a risk to do it but you figure they would pay a bit more attention to what they are doing.

Same thing happened to me with a No Idea grab bag deal. Got 2 of everything, but that particular deal stated if you ordered anywhere from like 1-3 grab bags, you would be safe from duplicates, so I emailed and got it sorted out thankfully. i ordered the 30 CDs for $30 instead of vinyl from Relapse. I got Ire Works by Dillinger and the latest Weekend Nachos so I'm pretty content. Some of the death metal they sent me is straight up hilarious though.

lexicondevil Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I have never had much luck with grab bags and I've never really heard of anyone who has had luck. Mostly because I buy and own so many records that I don't need crap that a label/distro is just trying to dump. It only takes up more precious room on my shelves or I have to turn around and try and dump it on someone else. Grab bags are generally great for those starting new collections. vinyl addict and Derek™ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
