  1. So someone unloaded a MASSIVE new wave collection at Easystreet Records in west seattle and I went pickin' yesterday! I'm such a sucker for stuff thats still in the plastic wrap and if it has the original hype sticker I usually buy it. Well, these person was a HUGE depeche mode fan and there are tons of great singles and almost all 1st pressings of the 80's albums. If you live in Seattle, I highly recommend you swing by and get some of the good stuff while it lasts. Everything is near mint and clearly it came from someone who knew how to take care of a record.

     

    With that being said, I picked up the following: 

     

    Depeche Mode: Strange Love in plastic wrap w/ original hype sticker

    Depeche Mode: It's Called a Heart in plastic wrap w/ original hype sticker

    Depeche Mode: Shake The Disease splatter vinyl variant

    Depeche Mode: People Are People Gold Promo Stamp

    Full Metal Jacket OST w/ gold promo stamp

     

    and finally my GoHasting.com variant of the new Manson record came in as well. :)

  2. Stopped by a Hot Topic today to see if I could manage a copy of the new MM album, no luck, but I did have my dog with me and the manager fell in love. So much so that she offered to give me a buy one, get one 50% off deal on any two vinyl I wanted since the MM was not in stock. Here's what I picked up.....

  3. I have no idea who this band is but Easystreet Records in West Seattle had a TON of their LPs up on their wall today, it looked like a die-hard fan unloaded their collection or something. If you live in Seattle, head over and take a look at whats posted. I would have taken a photo for ya'll but I didn't pay too much attention since I don't know anything about them. 

     

    Hopefully someone here can swing by and maybe score some rarities :) 

  4. ^ Those Are all great finds / flips but... They aren't from Goodwill. I'm sure we all have many, many instances of leaving stuff at Hot Topic. I know I do! Lol.

    Any chance you want to sell? Lol.

     

    Yeah, I guess my post isn't needed in this thread. I was dealing with a bout of insomnia and wasn't paying too much attention. As far as flips go, they were not purchased with the intent of flipping. I'm a pretty die-hard U2 fan and it was very difficult to let those records go, but when my ex fiance and I broke up I needed cash to pay off the damn ring and move myself into a new place. I cut about a 4th of my collection down since I had nothing left in my savings after buying the ring. :( I hate flippers and never plan on being one anytime soon.....

  5. That kind of stuff is cool. I wonder if those of us who actually preordered from the official store as soon as we could because we're fans and don't need rare promo incentives to pre-order get this as well?

     

    I'd say that if it was pre-ordered from MM's site, then you have a good chance. If it was pre-ordered from Amazon, most likely not. 

     

    Easystreet Records had about 20 copies of this 10" and they wouldn't budge on giving me an extra copy :(

  6. My killer finds come from Amoeba in Hollywood.....

     

    U2 - I Will Follow Promo 12" - Paid $4.99, sold it later on eBay for $150

    U2 - Wire Promo 12" - Paid $7.99, sold it on eBay for $350 

     

    .....and then a small indy shop in San Diego (I forgot the name) 

     

    U2 - Bad Promo 12" - Paid $1.99, sold it on eBay for $140

     

    and my biggest missed opportunity - Hot Topic around 1999-2000 - Nine Inch Nails THE FRAGILE for $9.99 on clearance.  I only bought one copy when they had roughly 15
