Tommy Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Ghosts is probably my most prized record in my collection. I remember buying it for $50 on eBay back in 2009 from a guy who didn't even take a picture of it and just listed the CD cover on the listing. I think most people passed on it because it wasn't clear that it was the LP version and the seller didn't list the quality of the item. Pretty shitty job by the lister, but he probably had no idea the value of the record he was selling. untiliwakeup and GreatGreenOne77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been tempted to sell my signed promo AFP from time to time, I Just could never bring myself to do it. No, it was my original one ordered from Aural Exploits way back when they existed. Dunno why my slack ass didn't order two or get the marble one they had as well. Back then I never dreamed in a million years I would end up parting with a single piece. Had all my RHP done besides an op of DCH. Sold Ocean Beach, Roller Coaster, and Ghost all in one swing. Now the car is in a junk yard and I want my records back lol Edited September 26, 2016 by GreatGreenOne77 untiliwakeup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy listed for auction starting at like $30, so I write him and offered him $65 straight up for it, he turned it down. I was the only bidder, and took it for $30...lol untiliwakeup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are about 2 hours from me but have been posting pictures of it on their IG and I'm pretty sure they do mail order. Maybe they can hook you up with one. http://www.monstermusicsc.com/CustomPage/3881 So they have one copy of Perils. They said it's the higher priced one in the system of the 3 copies they have in the system but there's no sticker or anything insinuating it's the promo one. Is there ANYTHING telling it's the promo on the outside? I don't know if I want to do a $50 gamble to get a record I already own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pretty much grabbed everything I could directly from Koz/VF/Caldo Verde for the past nearly 15 years or so I guess? I had a sealed autographed copy of Ghost that I paid shelf price for and sold it to someone in Sweden because I had to have a car I know eventually ghosts will get repressed. It's too much of an essential album to be out of print forever. I loved aural exploits, I've heard people got ripped off from them but I never had a bad transaction. I bought the marbled April and blue SFABG from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint was just about every record I got from them had corner damage, but I just assumed that was to be expected when my records were traveling all the way across country. But they were great for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to screw me on a PJ Harvey release that they took preorders for but never actually put out but I managed to get refunded after a lot of effort. They also took a lot of orders for a Jesu album right before they vanished and didn't fulfill them or refund people. untiliwakeup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say I loved when Mark was working with 10 Spot Distro in Greensboro simply because anything I ordered was basically here overnight or two days later since it's 4 hours from my house lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to pony up $150 for a sealed copy on discogs, around the same time '08 or '09 . How I afforded that while making, I think, $8.50 an hour, and paying bills is another story lol.

simple_torture Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'll only mention this once, since I don't want it to seem like gloating: I got a shipment confirmation for the marbled AFP from Bull Moose. I ordered it at 11:36AM if anyone wants to try and compare their order time to see if they've got a shot. I'll shut up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they aren't willing to ship this? I can get all the way to the payment page okay after it calculates shipping. So it should work. I'd call them tomorrow if you keep having issues and really want it. Their stock is all in real time and they should ship anything listed on their site if it has an "add to cart" button. I probably wont be able to make it down there until at least the weekend or else id just grab it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackshidt Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Ok, thanks for checking. I fiddled around and I see I can ship to an address in Michigan but not to an address in California. I have sent them an email and hopefully I'll hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
