geezfools Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 That in a nutshell is why I was never on the VC board. Fall Out Boy, ugh years ago, back in the suburban home days, it wasn't that bad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatassets Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'll be sticking around but it will most likely be mostly as a lurker. Most of the threads on this board at least are about bands I either don't know or don't care about. rudeboydh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeboydh Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Had to order on my free time at work. I ordered at EXACTLY 1:00. Hope it went through... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I blew it - meant to gift cash but did this from an ipad at the gym. I sent an extra $10 to cover the fees with a note to Todd. Hopefully it makes up for things. If not, that's what I get for trying to lose weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkdude Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Todd, I forgot to put my vc user name in there, not that it really matters because I rarely post here. My question is, are you going to post just the user names of the people who got the tie dye version, or the actual names of everyone that got one? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixedfrequencies Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 ordered about a minute into the sale, but i forgot to change my papal payment to "gift" and include my VC username. d'oh (that's what i get for panicking/frantically trying to get it over with).

rudeboydh Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Were we supposed to pay as gift? I must've missed that... I also didn't put in my VC user name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Paid as gift but forgot user name. Just be happy to get any set really though Todd promised a tie dye a while ago just hope he remembers. If not c'est la vie.....

maneatingcow Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 If I don't get the Metal Box I will just use that money to buy a kitten. I will then drown said kitten in a bucket of my tears. thebiglebowski, bathroommonkey and Eric Lolligagger 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniquemel0dy Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Didn't gift, no username. Wanted the sack white variant. You think Todd will give it to me since I asked for white as priority? I paid using goods by accident. I thought it was the gift option. That's what happens when you rush. I would email Todd but I feel like he is getting flooded with mail. Should I or no, just let it die down? By the way is this the same Todd that owned Todd the vinyl junkie AKA ttvj store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeguitars Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Doesn't it look fishy if you get thousands of dollars in gifts on PayPal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathroommonkey Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Doesn't it look fishy if you get thousands of dollars in gifts on PayPal? yup. i didn't really want to gift it but i did what i was told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 yup. i didn't really want to gift it but i did what i was told. I too was completely unenthusiastic about paying via gift. Especially when it's that much money. I wish he would have just let us paid normally yet added the 4% or so in paypal fees to the price. But I figured the likelyhood of shenanigans was small. Plus the upside is if I get screwed over I'll have a fun story and can one up the Virgil and RJ victims. Again I'm not saying 16rpm is a shady guy, he sure seems like a good guy. It's just on a purchase of that size I've got to think about all possible outcomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 if you guys have any questions, email him. Better to get sorted out now then bitch about it when your record shows up and something is wrong. He'll get back to you eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Doesn't it look fishy if you get thousands of dollars in gifts on PayPal? http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=372002&page=2 Just some random site I found but seems to be some info. Todd might be getting a phone call from them. Probably doesn't like to advertise the business end of things on a site. Seems to me like the worst case scenario would be they reverse the transactions, Todd still goes by the original order times, and everyone would have to repay with a couple percent added for fees. Pain? Yes. But it will all work out. Non-worst case, might not even see anything on our end if there is any paypal bitching. Not worried at all about getting my Sack record.

ray weiland Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Todd I gotup and set up the pay pal with very detailed infro about 10 -12 min. or so before 12:00..felt great about my chances...ordered metalbox and normal and listed the rest as alternates, but when I hit send paypal "timed me out"! No sweat I has time to replace order, but as my luck goes these days the cap lock got stuck and I couldnt get back in to Pay Pal. I rushed around and got a borrowed computer but by then it was getting close to 1:00. I rushed the order with much less details except a quick list of what I wanted. I put VC ID but also missed gift and sent a goods. Didnt see to mark as gift. The order went through (PP deducted the $250 bucks) but Im sure I missed the metal box but hopefully got a normal one. I sent a detailed email to you (Todd), but I dont think that helped. (???) Shit, lost my job of 32 years, wife got cancer, transmission blew on my car and now this!!!! As Star Fucking Hipsters said "when did life get so hard" Im so down...please take the pins out of the voodoo doll (I should say gris-gris doll being south Louisiana (lafayette). Is there anywhere I can go to check status of order? I'ii stop now...just whining. Todd can you help me out with this???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrocks Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 paypal still gets their fees, just paid by the buyer and not the seller. the main difference is that you dont have much/any recourse through paypal claims. the better thing to do in retrospect would have been to have todd add in 3 percent for fees or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the flood of orders it would be really tough to immediately sift through it all to check the status of your individual order. So looks like best bet is to join the waiting game.

16RPM Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi all, this is Todd's wife, things are a little crazy around here. He's going through all the orders and making a spread sheet and there's a LOT to go through. If you need a question answered or have an issue, please email or send a pm instead of posting here in this thread. Your post could get lost in the shuffle. It's going to take a LONG time to get this all sorted out and I promise he'll get back to each of you as soon as he can. Thanks for understanding and thanks for your orders! rhinosuicide, Grimbl, Satan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray weiland Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Oh I forgot to mention I'll trade a Mint copy of Toxin III ep w/ Irock,Iran for a metal box version? I did the art work on it back in 82'...Im am Old fart punk (62). I also have a bunch of punk/hardcore/power pop/pop punk I would consider trading. (both vinyl and CD.) If interested and I missed out you can contact me at [email protected]. And NO it is and im not a racist. Toxin III was not a white power band nor is the image...Its a joke son....
