Tom Delonge's UFO

It is not foolish or pretentious at all.   I just noticed that no one regrets selling anything because they think its a great album or great music, everyone is just talking about how they regret selling something that is now "expensive".  That is what I would consider foolish. I don't have a single record on my collection based on its deemed value.

 

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.   

 

Ordered.

So glad to finally have this for a non-ridiculous price.

It was at Acme Records.  Juan and I were there one day, but he didn't pick it up then.  I wonder if he went back... haha

I'm from Milwaukee too. Good to know there are other people from the area on here.

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.

Maybe it's time I sell off my OP... 

Even with the news of this new pressing, it's hard to justify.

My favorite part of this thread is how it is centered around monetary regrets and not about regretting letting something go because of musical value. 

 

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. 

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.

there were only the original presses for IKS, it hasn't been repressed, which is why it's so expensive. How much did you sell IKS for?

 

I'm so embarrassed to say. $40. My signature really fits this post. 

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?

Bump. Only a few more hours left.

All three copies of the Modern Baseball/Hundred Acre Woods Split.

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.

Cave In is getting a wide release in June if that helps.

Thanks!

Dang I'm really striking out here.

Me too. All I want is Cave In and Pinback.

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

What a shitbag. Hopefully Fat catches on and cancels his orders.

 

Reported that dude!

 

Excuse my naivety, but how would Fat be able to link up the order and the Ebay account? 

 

What can he be reported for? 

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.

Also, 

Fireside - Fantastic Four

Fireside - Do Not Tailgate

Fireside - Elite

I'll pick this up a year from now when it's on clearance

Fireside - Get Shot

 

Hum - Downward Is Heavenward

Manchester Orchestra - Cope 

 

PM ME.

My white misprint just got in. Minor differences in die-cuts. Only noticeable if compared to the ones originally shipped. Etching on D-side doesn't look bad at all, but it does look better on the non-misprints. Overall, misprints look great.

Just got mine white in and they were definitely worth the price.
