  1. The simple point is that, if a producer chooses to capitalize on a product's scarcity (making it 'out of' a relatively low number), especially in a market particularly based on rarity, then later, after the money is collected, renege on that 'agreement' and make a bunch of copies of the exact same fucking thing, no one should be shocked or surprised that there is backlash from the consumer. Yes, yes, 'more records for more customers = good thing,' but - echoing many others in this thread - if that's what they wanted, they should have done it open to begin with. If they were gonna make a bunch eventually, every record shoulda been cheaper. But this 'hype' 'snooze ya lose' bullshit about buying new records forces people to be quick on the button, and when that hot-on-the-button savvy is cheapened like this, everyone who paid money ahead of time thinking they were securing a coveted spot is stabbed in the back. You can downplay the 'rarity game', but it's ever-present when buying new releases. There are websites and forums and a gazillion notifications constructed to make sure people are aware of new, limited releases. There's dozens of new PO's in this forum every day for that sole reason. It's an inextricable part of this community. People SHOULD be mad, because where does that stuff end? Soon every 'limited deluxe' that costs 60 bucks for 'true fans' will just make more when the preorders are done, and the value of everything decreases, and people will stop preordering because who cares, they'll just make more. Then smaller labels preorder advances will shrink and smaller labels will fold left and right. I know I'm taking an extreme slippery slope view, but I can't help but be drawn to these conclusions. Seriously, just make a separate second pressing, how is it not the same thing? Why make it identical, just to be sure to spit in the face of the preorders? And no, a tiny sentence indicating the second press isn't good enough if that's the only difference. I'll agree to that much.
  2. 'Heavy Goods' shipping in the US is 12 dollars for some reason, making it 48.99 for one deluxe double LP. Pretty steep. But I don't have this yet and I'd like to get that cassette...
  3. Glad to have been here for this preorder after so many recent fails. I knew this one would go quick and I did not hesitate. I missed Thee Oh Sees and Gizzard, but I got Macintosh Plus and this one, so... aesthetic.
  4. This is exactly what happened to me. I spent a good amount of time re-checking Thee Oh See's for the extra copies, and while I'm doing that Gizz goes up and sells out before I even know about it. How did I miss both?
  5. Sold a couple things, added a couple things, bumping. These prices are not set in stone, please feel free to offer, I really would just like to see this stuff gone.
  6. Shipping for the one record and the one tape (plus pins I guess) was 11 dollars within the US. Doesn't appear to be any media mail option. Beware.
  7. ???????? Always glad to hear about new tera melos, but that description is completely baffling.
  8. Selling some extra and unwanted records. Open to all offers, all prices absolutely negotiable. $4 unlimited shipping, US shipping only please.. High priority to multi-item orders with at least one 12" to save on shipping materials, if you want multiple things I will shave the price. If you don't like my prices send me a message and we can figure something out. Open to trades for things on my signature. My collection is in the signature, less chance I will sell but I would hear reasonable offers.These items are also for sale on my Discogs but better deals, cheaper shipping and free 7 inches in every order through VC. 10" F.Y.P and Chaniwa - Let's All Go Sidewalk Surfin' [/1000, sealed] $3 Lizzie Huffman - Lizzie Huffman and her Brother Band [whiskey coke /150, unplayed] $5 12" Acid Witch - Midnight Movies (unplayed, picture disc /111) $30 Annie Ellicott - Lonesome Goldmine (played once, letter press edition /50, FFO Joanna Newsom) $18 Caddywhompus - The Weight EP (unplayed, black vinyl /500, highly recommended noise pop) $10 The Capones - Drop The Crown (unplayed, Mud On Her Gown edition /50) $30 Caspian - Tertia (unplayed, transparent red /100 4th pressing) $30 Ceremony - Rohnert Park LP (transparent blue /1000, lightly used item looks almost new) Cloud - Zen Summer (unplayed, yellow vinyl limited to 300, Irish import FFO Panda Bear) $22 Father John Misty - Pure Comedy (deluxe edition 2xLP + 7", aluminum and copper vinyl, and stickers, unplayed) $32 Frog - Kind Of Blah (sealed, black vinyl /300, jacket has a visible crease, highly recommended alt country) $10 Fuzz - II (Unplayed, white vinyl /200, rarest variant, poster) $??

  9. Here's a sample song. Sounds screechy AF. Waiting on Castle Face.
  10. That VMP Exclusive still available? I'm looking at the site but it won't tell me either way because I'm not a member. Not really sure if this would be worth signing up for, I've resisted VMP as long as I can but... Fleet Foxes is different. It would really suck to sign up and find they're sold out though.
  11. Well that sold out quick. I appreciate you posting this, I bought it immediately.
  12. Looking for any Coyote Clean up tapes, CD-R, any other merchandise. Send me a message and we'll work something out! Double Trouble CD-R Downhill Express Cassette Double Doom Cassette Frozen Solid Cassette /denmother - #Blast Cassette Disarm The Settlers 7" (any color) And anything else not on this list! Already have the 2 Hot To Wait LP so not too keen on that. Anything else please let me know!

  14. Gonna have to go with Derek on this one. I read the entire write-up twice, but I had to go to the bandcamp link and see that some guy called it post rock to know that it was post rock.
  15. Auto tune and sayin 'nigga' 80 times was played out like ten years ago.
  16. Yup, similar story. Also in the market for the colored version. I thought I was mistaken when I saw sold out on the site and kept switching back to this thread. I know I slept on it too long in the first place.
  17. EDIT: I only read the first page like an idiot and didn't realize how many people repeated the same words I just said. Regardless, I ordered through Sub Pop and am hoping for the 7". If I don't get it, I may send an email citing the original phrasing and see what happens.
  18. I'm in New York and the shipping is indeed 20 euro. No cheaper option is available except in-store pickup.
  19. I received this yesterday - thinking "holy shit that was fast" - but haven't been able to play it til today. It came with no liners or bubble wrap or anything so a couple dings, but I think the gatefold probably held up well. The pressing IS fantastic, I haven't been able to hear a bit of static or noise or skips at all, everything audio is clean as a whistle. Bass is strong. The gatefold is nice and everything I want, with no real frills or extras. This record is a good memory of an exciting time in my life, and has been on my want list since I started collecting despite my taste stretching out in various ways. I'm very satisfied to own this, and if I paid 40 bucks plus shipping I would think it was a high quality buy and feel very lucky. This buy was strange because I haven't bought anything new for myself in about a month, so I felt I could treat myself and didn't balk at the price. The fact that so many balked ensured I could acquire one, so that was different from the mad rush at the first second of availability. It's a real shame they couldn't press a higher quantity of these, pleasing more fans, discouraging flippers and probably lowering the price for the bulk order. It could have gone the way of Robbers & Cowards and press so many you just shut out the flippers past and present. I don't have an extensive knowledge of contracts, but I can definitely see how they eventually fuck over fans and do weird things to the market. tl;dr It was worth it to me
  20. Having a one-per-customer limit cuts down (doesn't eliminate) scalping. Higher prices do not stop flippers, and actually, some might have the mindset that since a product was inexplicably uber-expensive, perhaps more people who really wanted it had to miss out.
