That box is too nice to open! 

bro... i hate to break it to you... looks like you might have been scammed :/

I would be down for this. Anyone?

Ummm...so we should wait then?

9 years ago, when I moved I sold my whole collection, bought a pickup truck, and packed up all my belongings. It was painful. But, I had to sell items to better my situation at the time. It wasn't about flipping for me, it was about doing what I had to do, profit or not. I've purchased items before and down the line sold them for a profit, not for the intention to flip, but to earn money to buy something that came up that I liked more. If people pay it, then why not? Then again, when people buy a dozen of the same product, and sell I can see why some people get upset. My opinion is I really don't care. I will never own everything, I enjoy hunting, and if I get it, great. If not, I will live. 

Also, SomethingVinyl was extremely fair with me on a recent trade. In fact, more than reasonable. I wish I had joined this wonderful community sooner in fact, but with teaching, life, a child, it didn't happen. Cool place though, think I will stay for a bit. 

 

And Discogs has them less than 100...

The house I just purchased had surround sound built in for every room. Not going to lie. I dragged out my old receiver, hooked it up, and love when I can hear my vinyl in every corner of my house and the garage. Especially, when cleaning the floors. 

Should work fine. Is it perfect? Who cares! Listen to that stuff! Also, if you can't return the Crosely, and your folks don't mind. I am sure someone would purchase it on the old craigslist. Sucks for them, but for you! 

you guys should watch rehab addict. she admits she's a flipper, but she's also "not your average flipper." she's also hot. i feel like i had a point before i started writing this, but...

One of my 3 year olds favorite 7"s is my copy of The Mob "Step Forward". I've been offered 150 for it. I let him put it on and off and place the needle. Nothing about that record (one of my favs) has ever given me more satisfaction than sharing it with him. Maybe Im nuts but I know 99% of folks on here wouldn't let their kid do that to a "valuable" record. They really mean shit without the sentimental value they accrue from connection to the music or object and sentimental value doesn't accrue in a frame or unplayed on a shelf. This shit has been stated way too often. Buy for the music and sell if you don't listen to it and all will be well in the music world.

I understand why flipping is frowned upon, especially here within the "community," but vinyl is vinyl. When I've bought records to sell for a profit (doesn't happen often and not for much money) I usually put that money into records I actually want, because most of my disposable income is spent on vinyl because I'm dumb. Making ten bucks off a record is nothing when I'm spending 4-5 times that much in a given month on things I genuinely want to have.
 
I also don't care about flippers because 1) having rare variants is cool but I never spend more money for them and 2) I don't feel entitled to be able to afford all the records I want. Get that paper, Timbo_Slice, and if that means you gotta profit off of pop-punk teens then go for it. Just limit that to ebay and discogs, because you'll get torn a new one on here.

Hey VC. 

My dog has hemorrhoids so I need the money. I have 15 copies of Riot by Paramore Sealed! Please PM me!  

Seems like VC is full of people who hate the market of record flipping, but contribute to it by spending dumb amounts of money for a limited color, pressing, or some other nonsense. 

I know a guy who knows a girl who'll sell bananas for .50 cents.  

I think you would be surprised how cheap bananas would be if they weren't essentially "flipped" by companies like Chiquita. The only difference between record flippers and them is that bananas are "flipped" before they get to the grocery store and records are flipped after. The same concepts apply to both.
As for someone buying out all the bananas from grocery stores and reselling them trust me someone would be doing it if the price/market would allow it. 
 
The only way to "solve" flipping is for labels to stop doing a million different pressings in small quantities, which will never happen because it is a way for them to get people to buy the same record multiple times.
 
 

I like VC and most people here so I won't go off on a tirade about how I don't care what you guys think. But, I REALLY only care a little bit. And while, yes, on the surface it looks like I'm an awful flipper, it's just not the case. So, seriously, outside of doing it to be humorous, down voting is so passive-aggressive and petty. Grow the fuck up! (I anticipate lots of negatives, so I'm prepared.)

Now, just to clarify a few things:

We can all do whatever we want, we have freewill, so trying to police who buys and flips what is so absurd. Furthermore, we've all done it to some extent so quit acting holier than thou. Flipping is about intention, not the amount. I have bought something intending to flip it, but it's just not the case here.

Next, I love the band. If anyone bothered to do any research and look at my records, you'll see that I own everything by them and since I'm a completest, having YAMS is essential. The first copy of the record I bought directly from T$N in 2008 or whenever it came out. I listened to it. Someone wanted it for what I thought was a high amount, so I sold it. Sometimes money is better. Then I found a copy in the clearance bin at Park Ave CDs in Orlando. Yay, I had another copy. Then in 2011, after my son was born, someone offered me $100 for it. I didn't immediately take it. Then he offered me $120. HOW COULD I NOT TAKE THAT? I had a son less than a year old. Shit, 95% of you would do the same without a child, so stop judging. Finally, I found a nice guy who was willing to trade me my current copy for three 7"s he really wanted. He didn't know the value and while I didn't offer that info up, I made sure he got what he wanted and thought it was fair. When he found out that it's pricey, he didn't pout, piss and moan on the boards, he said "Good for you."

Lastly, I always try to make fair deals and help people out, especially if I've traded with someone and my end of the deal didn't meet their expectation. To insinuate anything else is idiotic. Ask any number of the 100+ people I've bought/sold/traded with in the past four years, I assure you 99% of them will speak my praises. Not too many other people on the boards have that kind of reputation.

 

Nerd Editon came today, and hot damn it's snazzy lookin. I'll give it a spin later on.

I just got the one I ordered. Came in an oversized box, wrapped in paper.
No seam splits, no dented corners, most importantly no warp. I really lucked out apparently.

That splatter is absolutely beautiful.
