  1. According to Google, pretentious means, "attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed." You are saying that musical value is of greater importance than monetary value. It can be debated as to what has more importance, but that is a case by case basis. No one appointed you judge and jury about what has more value to someone. I regret a ton of stuff I have sold that is not expensive, but if I start a thread saying, "I'm so upset that I sold The Blood Brothers - Burn Piano Island, Burn" (a record that has many pressings) it doesn't really matter because a copy is easily obtainable, not to mention the amount of "who cares" comments I would get. I don't want records because they are "expensive," I just regret selling something that would become hard to purchase without spending hundreds of dollars.
  2. I'm from Milwaukee too. Good to know there are other people from the area on here.
  3. Bought Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut on CD when I was in 7th grade because of Stars. 20 years later I still jam it regularly.
  4. Maybe it's time I sell off my OP... Even with the news of this new pressing, it's hard to justify.
  5. That's misinterpreting it. Letting go of a record because you think it can be easily replaced, then having its value skyrocket, is way different than regretting the amount it could be sold for now. Taking the pretentious position that musical value inherently outweighs any monetary value is foolish at best. I would sell my entire collection right now if my family needed it for financial reasons. It doesn't mean there is no musical value.
  6. Just now I see this on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hey-Mercedes-Everynight-Fireworks-AUTOGRAPHED-braid-cap-n-jazz-friction-/181374606604?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item2a3ac4dd0c#viTabs_0 I know it's mine because my nickname used to be Goat and I had it signed when I purchased it at a show. Another one I'd really love to have back.
  7. I'm so embarrassed to say. $40. My signature really fits this post.
  8. In the mid 2000's I thought I was "getting out" of collecting vinyl, so I sold off almost all of my collection. I had orginal presses of Coheed and Cambria IKSSE and Deja that I sold for well below what they are worth now. I also had a clear pressing of Pinback's Blue Screen Life that I sold for super cheap. I don't think I'll ever get over selling those. What records did you sell/trade/lose that you are eternally pissed about?
  9. All three copies of the Modern Baseball/Hundred Acre Woods Split. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251516074508
  10. Unreal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pinback-Collection-of-Blue-Screen-Life-Loro-Some-Voices-Tripoli-CDs-More-/161270749449?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item258c7c5909
  11. Got my "splatter" yesterday just opened it up and I'm a little disappointed. The record feels incredibly flimsy and the label by the center hole got some wax intermingled with it.
  12. Yeah, it sure does violate the terms. It's okay to do pre-sale items, but they're not supposed to be more than 30 days from date when they'll ship. http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/pre-sale.html
  13. Excuse my naivety, but how would Fat be able to link up the order and the Ebay account? What can he be reported for?
  14. If someone can get Cave In - Jupiter for me, it would be much appreciated. I'm stuck at home with a sick wife and baby. Thanks so much.
  15. Also, Fireside - Fantastic Four Fireside - Do Not Tailgate Fireside - Elite
