You can get the repress of Finch's What It Is To Burn on Hot Topic right now.

Bit the bullet and bought it. I justify the price by telling myself that this record will bring me enjoyment for years to come.

Grabbed Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid for $17, which is cheaper than everywhere else.

Not the best but you get it. Clear splatter with colors the match the space cover art. Josephine Collective - We Are The Air

I know to each his/her own, but I still can't comprehend how people are spending so much on eBay for a two song split.

This FOB record is basically like a government bond, right? When can I cash it in?

Sorry about your job, man. You might want to put some ppd prices, especially if you're in a hurry to pay off the debt. Would be quicker to negotiate that way and you'd probably get more hits.

Wow. I have to say that I usually don't mind flippers, but this box set was the hardest I have ever tried to get a record when it went on sale. If I remember, it was around $130 + shipping, and the first time they tried to sell it, the website crashed because so many people tried to buy it at the same time. I had this is my cart the second time they tried to put it on sale, but sold out when I tried to check out.
 
Therefore, I realize that I will never get my hands on this unless I have a ton of expendable income. And therefore, I hate you and everyone else who barely listened to the records and are now reselling them at a 400% markup.

Risk waiting?
Travis has already stated that if this sells out right away he will get it repressed. Not a huge deal.

sry for hijacking your post. here's a free bumperooski.

Someone should pick up Stankonia if they don't already have it. Fantastic record.

Seller backed.

But what about those people that buy a record for $20 with no initial intention to sell it, listen to it, and then sell it for $100? It's seems like most people are fine with this. How is this okay, but flipping is not okay if the result is essentially the same? It seems like both of them should be condemnable.

That just seems like a poor way of justifying selling used records at a premium. This illusory grace period of a year between owning a record and selling it is very subjective and it still involves a party selling a record for an extremely high price to another party that may really want to listen to the record. This is essentially the same process as flipping a record, except for this alleged grace period. To put things into perspective, no one would complain if someone flipped a record for the retail price right after they purchased it. Therefore, the only tangible difference is the amount of money paid, which in both cases of selling a used record and flipping a new record amounts in a premium.
 
If you're going to go by the market, then flipping records should be alright since people are willing to pay astronomical prices for these OOP records. If the demand is as great as the price, people will pay premiums for records even though these prices may be greater in the secondary market.
 
Therefore to reiterate, I guess my overall argument is that if people disagree with flipping records, they should also disagree with the selling of used records at a premium regardless of any grace period.

mmmmmmm...Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Am I just totally oblivious, or have other people never heard of any of these bands?

Makes sense. Before I got into vinyl, I had never heard of Title Fight or The Menzingers, which I would probably be crucified for not knowing now. Glad I'm being exposed to all of these new bands.

I wanted to be good looking, but you already sold all the records that I wanted to ugly people 

Saw this today. It's not a Pro-ject turntable, but it looks pretty awesome with the acrylic platter. I think he also has a light that shines onto the vinyl above, which shines into the acrylic platter.

Awesome! We need more people like this.
