Out of Breath Records

Hey man I understand you guys enjoy being pricks but I'm new to owning vinyl alright?
I'm sure you didn't come out of the womb crushing suitcase turntables with your baby fists. 
I apologize if spinning records is a spectator sport, I'll make sure you to leave it to the old pros like you.
 
And to everyone else who was actually helpful and answered my question, thank you.

You sure about that? All I ever come across are shit-tier HeavyHeavyLowLow and Fidlar ripoffs, and neither of those bands are better than Snowing.
You're more than welcome to post whatever you want but why go after Snowing fans? Everyone was chillin' before. Pun intended.

I'm also looking for a copy of I Will Be My Own Hell. The guy in this thread
 
 
isn't actually selling them. Please shoot me a message if anyone has a copy for sale. 

Shit - I can't afford this collection anymore. jumping ship.

I like Panucci's Pizza.

There's no denying they're a good band, but what's with the instant sell outs and 8 presses this year? I mean they're not THAT good. 
 
Edit: I pulled a South African deaf signer right there. I realize it was pressed in 2010. But still wondering why they are so popular with collectors.

Hahahahah, just saw your tradelist mate. Sorry if I offended your musical sensibilities. 
 
To each his own.

Alright I completely buggered out really hard right there, my bad everyone. But still my statement about them being so popular stands.

Hey me and a couple of buddies were interested in cutting out own lofi records, and I know everyone says the sound is pure shit but I've heard some recordings and apparently you can get good enough for it to sound pretty cool! I heard you can cut into lots of things like CDs, plastic plates, etc. I also heard you can cut into 12" laserdiscs! So I bought a few neat Japanese anime ones on Ebay. (What's with our fascination with obsolete formats?) I just wanted to get people's inputs on making your own recordings at home, and cutting records for your friend's local bands etc. 

Not a record, but easily the coolest thing I listed today:

We have a similar 'brand' here in the UK called oxfam. Same kinda deal, anything of interest goes online while the stores just carry endless rows of oklahoma soundtracks and copies of bat out of hell. I did manage to pick up The Misfits - Walk among us for £3 but I think that was because it was halloween and it had a sticker proclaiming 'scare the kids this halloween with monster rock'

I find these downvotes very odd as well, you haven't been rude whatsoever.
Christmas is over, everyone's back to hating everything again.

OK, so Ill try to be brief.
Goodwill is a giant umbrella label and unfortunately with so many apples in the barrel there is some bad ones.  Goodwill is ran independently region to region, so my experience/knowledge is only what the STL area does for our community.  We helps thousands of people in our community in a number of areas.  We have housing for battered women, work programs to keep juveniles out of jail and off the streets, and yes our biggest outreach is helping to train and employee people who would not other wise be employed.  This employment is not mainly in our stores but in various environments depending on their work skills/abilities.  We have one workshop where works strip used computers to be recycled, a large crew that cleans offices/factories at night, and teams that repackage "local brand" products for area stores.  Some of the people in these work shops make more than me and yes some of them make less than minimum wage, it is based on what their work output ( basicly a per peace pay and not hourly pay.)  We are non-profit company and every penny we can raise goes into local organizations.
 
That being said our reasoning for online sales is we want to make as much money as we can to help as many people as we can.  We sell items in stores at reasonable prices most of the time, but yes some items have a high value.  The average customer we get into a store does not look to spend hundreds of dollars on their visit for a diamond ring or top of the line record player so we sell them online to broaden our customer base.  Once again I can not speak for every areas sales goal online, but only what I do locally.  Yes some of the stuff we sell goes for more than it's worth, but a lot of it sells for way less.  I would say about 75% of what we sell goes to resellers who buy from us to make a profit themselves.  I have 0 problem with what ever people do with an item after they buy it from us, but in my opinion I want to try as hard as I can to get as much money as I can to our organization and not let people buy stuff cheap from us just to make their own profit.
 
On that note...I should get back to work.  Check out what we have for sale because you never know what you will find at Goodwill!

I can not wait to see how elasalle evolves on these boards. 
Best new-member-burn of 2013. I spit out my coffee when I read this.
Welcome to the boards, elasalle. Please don't go anywhere. We need more new members like you as opposed to the influx of ding-dongs we've seen this past fall.
 

I've got myself a DJ Technics SL 1200 (thanks to my mother's old hobbies), and I have it hooked up to my tiny kit guitar amp so far. I mean it sounds fine and I'll get some nice speakers from Goodwill soon probably, but I was looking at portable record players and of the reviews, all the trendy kids seem to like the sound and everything on the Crosley's (thanks Urban Outfitters), but I notice some older folk say the sound is shit. And I've been looking at some on EBay, like the Fisher-Price ones, and other older portable record players, even the battery operated ones (think Moonrise Kingdom). How's the sound on portable record players? Is there really any point if I own $500 turntables other than for ease of use and novelty?
