I am not a variant guy, I already own this on coke bottle clear, but wow this splatter is so awesome looking.... so tempting.

This thread is going to explode tomorrow if they go up and the inventory gets messed up and shows sold out when it's really not.

I think you're point applies better to a scenario where there isn't a currency conversion and an import surcharge factored in. Otherwise, I totally agree with you.

picked one up from SRC... saved a lot of money not having to make that trip across the world

fuck it, guys lets go on a road trip to the Netherlands to get these.

This is an European Limited Release.
So I'll doubt you will be able to buy it from an US supplier.
 

"Those 12 still unsold copies of Ice T's Greatest Hits." - every record store in my city

I want this as a bonus 7 inch for the soundtrack:

People who complain that it cost $12 to ship a record: Please don't ever move outside of the USA. You will not be pleased

At the end of the day, no one will ever be happy when it comes to this shit or any other fuckin' record that ever comes out. 

So what if they do?  WE HAVE ALL OF THEIR ALBUMS!

That's a fair point... I mean if all the stuff that comes out on RSD is going to get repressed then doesn't that take away from part of what makes RSD so special?

Guys give him a break, he's been lurking for years...

what are tonights lottery ticket numbers.
 
thx

Well, if I would have waited, I could have snagged one for less than I grabbed one on eBay (though I got a great deal). But... I bought that copy with $$ selling stuff on eBay that I paid very little for. I'll just tell myself that I traded a purchase I made 4 years ago for $40 for this boxset. I'll be okay with that.
 
I really wish Cake would have been more transparent with this entire release. If they would have said "900 copies for RSD and then a bunch via our website" the frenzy/flippers would have been reduced.
 
Oh well, live and learn.

No problem. Skully'z had all of the ones that got away this RSD. This year, I am officially out of the maw of eBay flippers!!!! Unless of course I decide not to bid on Jack White's Lazaretto, which can't be found anywhere else, really.  
 
Here's my friendly advice to people still searching for that "elusive" disc:
 
Stop obsessively refreshing those familiar websites: BullMoose, Earcandy, Turntable Lab, Amoeba, etc. They are pushing the envelope in being "independent" record outfits anyway. 
 
Instead, go out to RSD's participating venues at http://www.recordstoreday.com/Venues. Look at local record shops and then branch out from there. Find the listed shop's Facebook pages and find the phone numbers. Pick up that phone!
 
I've learned that in spite of it being 2014, a lot of truly independent record shops are still "low-tech" and do not have the capability to keep a live database (or even a website). In addition, posting leftover RSD stock to a site like Discogs is pretty expensive (8% + paypal fees), so I can see why small record shops go the Facebook route. Facebook is a very low-cost option to get the word out there. 
 
See you in the crates next year! I'm praying for a DELUXE REISSUE OF MODEST MOUSE - LONESOME CROWDED WEST. Take that as a hint for instant $$$$ to the RSD organizers out there....

Is this price really that insane? Plenty of places price single LPs (180g or not) at $15. So $30 for two 180g LPs isn't unrealistic, right? Yea yea I know back when you first started collecting all single LPs were $8 and all doubles were $12. I get it. But everyone should be used to pricing like this by now. If the hobby is too expensive then find a new one.
Sorry, I know this is a touchy subject. Just think it's silly to complain about a luxury item's price all the time. If this were the "Food For My Family Collective" complaints like this would be a lot more warranted.

This is an argument that's as old as time itself... I wish I could still pay 1.50 a gallon for gas too but that's not happening either... it is what it is.

Wait...4 replies and not a single sarcastic one?
