Nice collection dude! I still have the one on the 3rd pic (Skull Eye Schooner) and a small one (Renegade Runner). They have been on a shelve for 10+ years now so you can imagine the dust on them. Plus I think there's tons of details missing (my cat likes eating legos).

So I have these I'm trying to get rid of, and am especially looking for No Use For a Name and Taking Back Sunday records I don't have. Dillinger Four - Midwestern Songs doublewhiskeycoke /300 Dillinger Four - Versus God silver /300 Good Riddance - My Republic tan /220 (I'll probably only trade this one for NUFAN)

for that money you had to buy that at least 10 years ago.

I think I read somewhere that there are 1000 red copies. Not sure though.

pics!

Thanks! though it's still far from finished, I just recently decided I'd try to get them all. No, the other one in the pic is Short Music For Short People test (there's a nufan song on it so I guess it counts:). I was this close to buying the second More Betterness test that was on ebay though, but I got another great (expensive) deal at that time so I decided against it. I know it would be kind of pointless to buy two copies of the same test, but I just love that record so much. Those two tests are also the only two records that I haven't played because they're sealed and I cannot get myself to open them.

Would you like to make that $50 back for it?

All the time, even though I realize how fucking off I am.

Well there's no "healthiest" thing per say. I have reaped a plethora of health benefits from vegetarianism, but if you aren't careful it can be incredibly unhealthy. You can suffer from serious malnutrition if you don't make sure you get enough protein or iron or B12. Do a little homework and decide what would be best for you. I don't care if it's vegetarian diet or not (actually I cannot see myself not eating meat), I just want to find a diet that covers everything a human body needs with as little extra unhealthy shit as possible. The best thing would be to find planned out meals covering an entire week or so, but I haven't found any good sources yet. Any ideas?

I was thinking about trying out the vegetarian thing. Actually, I want to try out the healthiest thing, whatever that would be.

That. I've been getting completely wasted 2-3 times a week till the age of 18, got drunk a few times between 18-20, now I drink a beer a month at most.

Do you have a picture of that? I have a black copy on wingnut, but have never seen a red one. Sure: It's been a hard one to track down.

Right. Because only owning music by five different bands CLEARLY shows your huge appreciation for a wide variety of music. Funny, you see some of us are lucky enough to live in a place where there isn't a single record store in the radius of 600 miles, so for those of us owning music and appreciating it isn't the same thing. I'd like to see your "wide variety" of music you'd own if you had to shell out $15 for shipping a piece (plus customs taxes). And when a person appreciates a particular band to the extent of "collecting" records (which is no different than buying band tees, hoodies and all that other shit) the likes of you think that you're so above all other for buying only one copy of each release. I buy records to listen to them. Had I the chance I'd buy ten times of what I buy, but I don't. Collecting on the other hand is a different thing. It's just my way of expressing the appreciation of a certain band/record. Don't think you're any better than me because you don't do that.

I'm neither of those.

If you got most of those off ebay, then you and me had quite the bidding war! I really wanted that Forecast Test! I also collect Test Presses, I've got quite a few but I usually use them to trade for my higher wants since most of those go to insane prices. Yeah, I got all of them on ebay. I remember you mentioned somewhere that you were also after that forecast test. The best thing is that it came fully signed (it was pictured in a plain white sleeve, I guess that the seller just put up the same pic for all tests he was selling)

$532 ppd for AFI - Dork $250 ppd for AFI - Behind The Times EP $215 ppd for No Use For A Name - Hard Rock Bottom on grey vinyl $190 ppd for AFI - Answer That And Stay Fashionable Wingnut Records tour pressing on red vinyl And I ended up paying around $240 together for the AFI 5xLP Boxset that I got for $140 ppd because the customs fucked me over.

I do, but I only got ahold of a few, it's a hobby that's too expensive. So far I have: Taking Back Sunday - A Decade Under The Influence V.A. - Short Music For Short People Dire Straits - Making Movies Hawthorne Heights - The Silence In Black And White No Use For A Name - More Betterness! Taking Back Sunday - Where You Want To Be The Forecast - Late Night Conversations And I have Arms Aloft - Comfort At Any Cost coming in the mail. It's not much, but I love them.

It's funny how people bitch over $6 for shipping, I'd be glad if I could get any 7" shipped for this low.

Thanks for the info Frank!

So I haven't been following this, how can I get a copy of it? I'm in Europe so that should make it easier(cheaper) right?

Just don't use nails, they look really bad, use doublesided duck-tape and cover an entire side of the record with it, that way it'll never fall down. You really don't want those tests to fall down.

Yeah I was at a concert and I bought this poster but it was really heavy and thick and I took the wrapping of and it pooped out this round piece of plastic. I was like WFT? Then I saw that round poster are in now.

I do. And I like it. I don't buy multiple copies of random releases, but I try to get as many as possible for the ongoing collections.

Yeah, that Explosion collection is so rad!
