Favorite pick ups: Spider-Man 3" set, and the Disney+ 2" record.  Smaller is better right?

Free shipping is only on orders over $75....

Well msot prices were oof for me...but did find one on my want list that was priced where I was a buyer.  So thanks for posting.

i know youre upset you cant flip them, but youll be ok. 

Ouch you got me...again I've been on the forum for over a decade and I guess there is still 0% chance I collect records myself...I'm only a little hobgoblin troll that is full of pure evil selling on eBay non-stop.

Higher prices and more releases that aren't even out of print....yay

Very excited for Professional Rapper to finally be repressed!

$50? On par with Mondo

Former Mondo staff.  So think the high quality of Mondo releases....with out the Funko destroying vibes.

Team Mutant....no need to bring up Funko...

Back up again now.

No love for VW on VC....their new LP is up for pre-order as well....

Pretty sure this has been up for 3 months...I pre-order my copy in December.

You guys should try keeping up with King Gizard and the Lizard Wizard....

New to me.  In theory it sounds great.  Thought I would set one up, and probems I see to start with:

• You have to make an alert for each item individually, you can't just import your want list.
• Once you make a search the maximum time it will be saved for is 90 days (the item I was setting it up for hasn't sold since 2018) so sounds like constantly having to re-add it.
• You have to put the most you will pay, unlike all other feeds that just default to "any"
• Finally I went to save the search despite the above problems and got "Failed to create alert"

So maybe this is really new and they are ironing out stuff...?

Jeez! How deep are they actually digging? 

Obie Trice had been out of print for 20 years...thats what it would take for me to come back.  Not Juice World LP that I can buy at any Urban Outfitters.

I cancelled before Juice WRLD, but would gladly sign back up if they dig something else out good and out of print.

Broken Bride finally released...hasn't left my turn table in two weeks.

It's their only good album (its actually great) the rest is forgettable 

Listen to In Defense of the Genre again, that album is great.  IMO Max's voice is almost always best paired with additional vocals (see also Two Tongues).

I keep wanting to know if bands are going to do this lol. If they did a 10th or 20th anniversary of an album, are they going to do it again 10 years later?

U2 and every other classic rock band does the same thing.  You tour the music that people want to hear.

I'm not a tax advisor but yes claim a net 0, don't just not fill out the 1099.  You will get a bill in the mail later with fees and penalties for being delinquent (that are possibly more than what you owed).

Crazy, this is the total opposite of what I've seen from other people's experience but good to hear. I'd love to see Cobra Starship and a few others but I doubt I'll make the trip.

Gabe coming out and doing Snakes on a Plane with The Academy Is was the highlight for me this year.  I was very excited (but also surprised Travis didn't join them).

Every video I've seen from people who went looks like they're having a miserable time so I think you're better off. People can barely walk from stage to stage, 5-7 songs from most artists, extremely long queue getting inside the festival, the list goes on. Having every artist on every day rather than spreading it out is super lame too. It's basically a festival for people who haven't listened to new music in over 10 years and think it's a great opportunity even though most of these bands tour regularly.

I went this year and you could get from stage to stage very easily (unless maybe you were up in the pit for Blink/Green Day.  I was very happy with the set lists from the bands I saw.  No line to get or out of the venue as I even went back to my hotel mid day to freshen up.  Only 2 real line, right when gates opened and then for the band specific merch.  

As far as pricing, to see blink or Green Day was going to cost $150+ for each show, so basically I saw them both do full shows for the same price + a dozen other bands all day.

I'm for sure going to go again next year, but I haven't bought tickets yet.  There was a ton of tickets on the secondary market both years and if you wait you can get them for way under face value.
