ozfacter Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 6. Where can I find pressing info? How many copies of my record were pressed? The best source for knowing how many records of which color at which pressing were pressed is Discogs. Dead Format is also a nice source. id also say to check the labels website as well. also.... google is your friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonbeams Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Does anyone know how to make a hyperlink within a thread? I'd like to make the How do I clean my records? How do I fix a warped record? How come my records skip? clickable so that when you click on it, the browser redirects directly to the question.

somethingvinyl Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Not really a FAQ, but it's obnoxious to read "ultra, mega, and/or rare" in every eBay and sale listing. Don't just use buzzwords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a FAQ, but it's obnoxious to read "ultra, mega, and/or rare" in every eBay and sale listing. Don't just use buzzwords. How is this? Don't use "ultra, mega and/or rare" in the title of your eBay listing if more than 300 copies were pressed within the past 10 years. Please modify the number and date. I don't feel comfortable dictating a blanket rule for selling because there are always exceptions. It is frowned upon by the vinyl community when "ultra, mega and/or rare" are applied to recent or mass produced releases in their auction titles. somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minor incident Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 don't put other bands in the title. I searched for the band I was looking for, not some other band. Agreed. I hate that. If I'm looking for a Jawbreaker record I don't want to weed through 150 shitty pop punk band LPs just to find the band I searched for.

Who am I trying to help, the seller or the buyer? What about side projects? I know it is easier to search alkaline trio and have slapstick, heavens, and emergency room stuff come up. That actually helps both the buyer and the seller. On whatever "the old lp" site used to be called there was an option to search by band or title line, but eBay doesn't have this option.

The side projects thing makes perfect sense, but adding "Jawbreaker" (and others) to every auction for albums by Rancid, Green Day, Blink, Sum 41, and every other band where the seller says "this kinda sorta sounds like Jawbreaker if you plug your ears and hum" is just silly. tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this needs further debate because we're encroaching the territory of personal opinion. For instance, I got a great deal on the remaining Teen Idols records I was missing because someone listed them under "Screeching Weasel" and I check SW a few times a day. But if you're looking for NOFX, it sucks. I search for Misfits everyday as well and weed through stuff. But it doesn't bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's some legitimacy to it, but it really depends on how assholey the seller is about it. I mean, listing a Green Day record and tagging it with "screeching weasel rancid nofx jawbreaker nirvana lawrence arms" is just shitty. Which is something I see a lot of on eBay. It's all together different if you're tagging a Sundowner LP with "broadways lawrence arms". I think what I'm saying is that the key is to be tasteful about it, and not border on spamming. That's all. TheCrimsonKing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This exactly. Including Coheed and Cambria in the description or even title of your posting of a Prize Fighter Inferno record makes sense, as a fan of Coheed and Cambria is reasonably likely to be interested in a band member's side project and may have not known about the side project. What I'm sick of is when I search for a band and I get a dozen other bands in the search results, half of which I don't give a shit about.

I have nothing on eBay now. 2. I only have one American Psycho. 3. I recently gave away a huge chunk of my Misfits variants (including Famous Monsters) to someone here who lost their collection in Sandy. That person didn't ask and was humble enough to try to refuse the offer. 4. You should buy your own copy. minor incident 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think that there are enough "rules" to being a new member that we need not limit how they choose to post items for sale. If you're too lazy to sift through only mildly-relevant posts to find the record you're looking for, you must not want it that badly, IMO. moonbeams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tittus Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I wish there was a version of this in the Turntables/Audio Equipment subforum. I'm attempting to piece together a new setup and a thread like this would be a great reference point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
