DiscoJon Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Saw a guy at the first place I went to buy $700 worth of stuff. Went to the next store down the road and he was there, his total was another $200 or so. Crazy to blow almost a grand in records in one day. I mean, more power to him, but still. I'm sure he bought more at the other stores in town. Edited April 22, 2018 by DiscoJon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiverse Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The guy in front of my girlfriend and I bought a fuckton of stuff. Turns out he was just a super-friendly dad and this was his first RSD. He works at a different record store that wasn't participating. Half of what he was buying was non-RSD stuff and he was just happy to be partaking. It was really wholesome in the sea of grody peeps monsterrod, backpackoat, tape and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most single LPs were $17-22 and I didn’t pay more than $30 for a 2xLP. Craziest thing I saw was some lady in the front of the line held it up for 10 minutes because she couldn’t decide what to add or remove from her list then proceeded to yell and curse at the employees because they didn’t get one record in that they thought they would.

The crowd there is usually pretty mixed. I rolled up at 9:30ish expecting the line to be gone and ended up just sitting in my car for a good half an hour or so before actually hopping on.

Derek™ Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Sufjan was the only questionably priced RSD item for me, this year. As a 10”, it was just a few bucks shy of what I paid for a double LP. Other than that, I think the prices were decent. Based on what I was after, anyway. Craziest thing I witnessed was an actual crowd at my local record shop, who gobbled up half the releases I was interested in. I say “crazy” because the shop seemed way more inactive last RSD. It’s also located in a tiny Northern California town where most customers only buy classic rock reissues, and never give me competition for the “indie shit” I enjoy purchasing. Clearly I underestimated the demographic this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtrCtyWx Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The most ridiculous thing I saw yesterday was Escape-ism live at Third Man Records in Detroit. Ian Svenonius is an experience (and I mean this in the best way possible). The Cass Corridor location had all of their exclusives (including the Sleep album on green) in stock as of 5pm Saturday, which is also ridiculous because I always equated Third Man with the most limited availability of releases. youspinmeround 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he got caught up in the hype and thought all the releases were going to be able to sell on eBay for triple. Haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoa Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The saddle of my bike broke. Bolt snapped right off and nearly obliterated my butt as I went to sit back on it. So didn't actually make it to any stores in the end FFS, but that was silly and shit (and annoying). Dojo Daniel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dojo Daniel Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Mine was 2 older ladies holding a spot in line outside for a younger guy (son/nephew?). Guy ended up coming 10 minutes before the shop opened and skipped about 30 or so people in line. I was at the front and was too far up to yell at him, people behind him didn't seem to notice or care. All 3 proceed to buy all the 'flippable' releases, looking at their phones most of the time, making sure they find the right records to flip. There were a few rarer releases that the shop only got 3-5 in, and of course all 3 would go and snag em up. Pieces of shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Speaking of prices and rents. I pay 1400 for a 1bed garden apartment and feel like I'm getting a deal. Thus why I need to be stingy on vinyl most of the time. Was out of town for RSD though, called every single record store in Pittsburgh, not a single one had a copy of the Mac Demarco demos at 10am that day. I was kinda surprised by that. Snagged it online instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
