Hey. Cut it with the ableism. You got a temporary ban for making jokes about domestic violence, said that "dumb sluts" had it coming, and other trolling comments. This is just as bad. We didn't forget. @Shitty Rambo  @jhulud

Congrats on getting triggered enough in a fucking Deftones thread to succumb to that.  Fuck off and out of here you edgy 14 year-old degenerate.

This was the same kid?  Seems like a really solid and levelheaded individual.  A real contribution to society.  Glad he’s allowed to bless us with his posts again.

Wow what a great insult!
 
GTFO with that shit.

Wondering if anyone could offer some advice or experienced this before:
 
I sold a record on eBay on August 17th (I bought this album brand new, played it one time and never spun again, still in shrink wrap and everything). Someone swooped in at last minute to bid on the item and payed immediately. I shipped out the record the same day. They just received it about an hour ago and messaged me saying there is a "large scratch" on side B that causes skipping in half the songs. I know this is not true as I played it once before and no skipping occurred, and I visually inspected the record before shipping it to make sure there were no flaws. I don't offer returns/refunds on my eBay so I'm unsure how to approach this situation. They are threatening to open an INR against me and were extremely rude in their message. I have 100% positive feedback on my eBay and don't want something like this to affect future sales but at the same time I don't want to allow a return if they are a scammer. The item was only $14 so not a lot. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
 
Edit: They just sent me a photo of the scratch  but from the picture I can tell that's not the record I sold them. The coloring is off.

I got mine in a couple of days ago. It looks like MerchNow isn’t using Frustration Free mailers anymore as the last two packages I received from them were in old vinyl mailers. Needless to say my State Champs record came in damaged.
 
I have had nothing but trouble with MerchNow and they do nothing to fix the problem. @IanRees please get Pure Noise away from MerchNow or ask them to go back to the Frustration Free mailers. It sucks when you’re forced to buy something from them and they won’t fix their mistakes.

Of course I have, I think most people have resold something at a value that’s been established over time.  That’s never been an argument.  You buy a record because you enjoy the artist or the release.  A year later, maybe 2 or 3, you’re making space on the shelf and you realize that $80 is the median price that record now goes for.  You’re not a monster for trying to sell it around that value even if you paid $25 PPD for it back in 2017.
 
But that’s not the reality for stl_ben, RareLimiteds, and a dozen other scuzzy flippers who deliberately lurk VC and Reddit to hop on “hyped” releases for an immediate resale.  Ben and the gang probably haven’t heard of 70% of the shit they peddle.  They’re going purely off comments (interest), label value, artist history sales, etc.  It’s pathetic.
 
I’ve missed out on releases I would’ve genuinely loved to own and hold onto — because I was in a conference at work or had some real world responsibilities to attend to — and found them for sale on Discogs just 3-4 days later, for quadruple the sale price.  That sucks.  Those people suck.  I think it’s fair to voice that.  Saying “oh well you all have the same opportunity, no sense in complaining” is garbage.  Having some greasy haired couch goblin call me out as not being an adult for “minding my own business”, because I’m venting about instances where I miss out on cool shit because of adult obligations... well, that’s garbage too.  It’s a shitty practice and if you’re cool with it or keen on turning a blind eye, that’s fine.  But don’t come at me just because I’m not.

Grabbed the /300. Almost grabbed the Pool Kids 7" and LP, but I've spent wayyy too much money last month.

Didn't realize the full album dropped either. Listening on bandcamp: https://dikembe.bandcamp.com/album/muck
 
A couple tracks in and enjoying it thus far.

Picked up that /300. It looks like it should be beautiful. Also picked up Pool Kids LP and POOL 7", some Vasudeva since they had that nice black in clear of Generator and some older titles. I'm glad they had free shipping because I spent wayyy too much money lol.

That song was A+

Wondering who all the people are that come out of windows. I see we got Mike Kinsella at 2:56. Not sure who else there is.

That's who I thought the two were, but I was like "aren't they in Florida?" Also saw on IG that Erik from his other band Pet Symmetry 

I recognize some but the only others I knew immediately were 2 members of Pool Kids

I had this in my cart but, I'm at the hospital and my wife literally birthed a child 10 minutes afterwards... Oh well! 😅

Imagine using your flipper profits to prioritize new vinyl over a basic online English / grammar course.

That's a good call and I should have my credit union look at it. I'll take blame for not remembering to follow up (a third time), but it always grinds my gears when the answer to a customer complaint is "we can't". There is nothing prohibiting them from taking care of me... it's a lack of desire to do so.

Imagine defending flipping and your only excuse is “it’s so I can buy one” ME ME ME ME ME ME

Imagine defending being a flipper

Imagine defending being a flipper

Yep. And things might get worse since the Orange Turd is trying to destroy the postal system.
 

their actions are well known in the local chicago music scene. The local apologists pushed people away from the local scene as they tried to shush victims and supporters

Shout out to this band for being a bunch of abuse apologists and liars since they knew since 2016 and called the victim an "accuser" after she sat down with all of them. Hopefully Pure Noise holds up that code of conduct Jake talked about in 2015. I respect them for giving Sam a second chance after the victim sat down with them but after lying and acting like that never happened this band does NOT deserve a platform since Sam has proven he hasn't changed. But now that multiple people have come forward along with theft and behavior issues that they tolerated, who knows who this "accuser" is anyway (by that I mean that it's very obvious who 2 of the victims are so it's unclear who they're referring to since they're lying).
