Anybody know this kook??
 
Or why he's trying to shyste me on Discogs??
 
He just "sold" Thrice's Alchemy Index and a few other high-ticket items, so be warned if you bought from him, your stuff ain't gonna show up.
 
 
Holla.

May as well go to eBay on that if you're looking for $250. Just some friendly advice.

You guys are both perfect examples of members that I'd be comfortable allowing into the raffle.  Not sure if it's your avatars and signatures, but I see a lot of your posts around, in the short time you've been members.  Not restricting these giveaways to folks who have 1,000+ posts, by any means... but also not looking to give them away to lurkers who create an account just to score freebies.
 
If anyone has a suggestion on how to determine the winner, please feel free to let me know.  At the moment I'm just leaning towards a name-out-of-a-hat drawing.

Cheers, and thank you.
A lot of this stuff has very little resale value, so I'm not too concerned about members taking advantage of the giveaway to make a $6 profit.  As selfish as it sounds, the main motivation is for me to whittle down my own collection and bit, and free up some shelf space.  If I can hook up people with a record they'd fancy, or even a new band they've never heard of, that's just icing on the cake.
 
I think it'd be cool to do something other than just a random giveaway, too.  Maybe some sort of riddle or online scavenger hunt could be fun, just to mix things up a bit.  Not really sure.  I'd also like to hook up my fellow VC night-owls.

This is super nice of you, dude! A good deed goes a long way.

All aboard.



///// WHAT IT IS
People like free records. People like to feel good about themselves. And people like to free up shelf space. Why not take the opportunity to enjoy all three of these luxuries in one single thread? +Karma Train is an ongoing giveaway of good feels and free records. The rules are simple: one item is offered up at a time, and will be raffled off through various means. Enter if the record appeals to you, but note that if you win, it is your turn to clear some shelf space and give away a prize of your own choosing.
 
///// HOW IT WORKS
There aren't too many rules at all. The winner of each giveaway becomes the raffler for the next, and it will be up to them to set any specifications, which should be made clear well before it is time to determine a winner. Some things you may want to consider, if it is your turn to give away an album:
Are you limiting your giveaway to members in your country? Are you willing to ship outside of your country, if the winner covers the costs? Should the winner be required to have a certain amount of posts? How many entrants will you allow? 10? 20? Everyone? At what point will you cut off entrants? Using a # cap? ("First 20") Or by time? ("One week from this post.") Do you have a mailer and shipping supplies on hand? Are you willing to cover the cost of shipping, or will you be asking for ~$4 to cover Media Mail? How will you draw names?* From a hat? Using a random generator? Name tags fastened to a slip mat? Most of these things should be established in either a post or a PM to yours truly. I will update the first post of this thread to ensure that we're all on the same page at all times.

*If you do not have a method of drawing names, I will create a looped GIF to randomly generate names for you. You may draw or you may have me draw in your place. Whichever you prefer.
 
///// THE GREEN LIGHT • NEW!
Effective May 19, 2014, there will be a new rule implemented to this thread.  This is the green light rule, and ensures that no one is taken advantage of.  The rule is simple: if you win a raffle, you will not receive your prize until you've submitted an entry of your own.  This means that you must verify what you'll be giving away, when you'll be declaring a winner, and also confirming that you have both funds and materials to physically ship the prize out.  If you do not have the means of shipping a prize, you will not receive your record.  (And you probably shouldn't be entering in the giveaways to begin with.)
 
Members who fail to abide by this rules of this thread will be added to a black list, where they will be denied entry to all future giveaways.  All it takes is one member being shitty to derail this whole thread... so let's all be on-the-ball, and see how far we can take this thing.

Why would he accept $40? He paid a full $26 for that just a couple months ago.. Don't you know how investments work?

Bought Circa Survive OLG Purple Marble variant from a user on here AdamRFox (same guy on reddit and deadformat)
Wouldn't reply to any of my PM's and kept making excuses to not ship my record. I opened a dispute with PayPal to get a refund he said don't do that I will ship it..I believed him and closed the dispute.
 
Now I get no responses from him. I trusted him cause of his feedback but nope, fucking scammer. Now I gotta call my credit card company and tell them. STAY AWAY FROM HIM, horrible seller and scams people. Don't believe any excuses from him!
 
*edit* here's his profile http://boards.vinylcollective.com/user/6267-adamrfox/

Please refrain from making any further posts. Thanks in advance. 

thanks,,, just hoping for the best

Hate that i missed the preorder.. Really liking the the new sound.
Hoping someone has a extra or willing to give me a fair price.

One new peeve. If your inner sleeved isn't a plain old paper sleeve, such as the sleeves with liner notes on them, for God's sake do NOT ship the record in it. Use a cheap generic sleeve instead. Those artwork/liner notes sleeves are fragile and seam split like nobody's business. God why are people so fucking dumb?

plot twist: its #jenkins

i dont.
 
but ill keep my eyes peeled for ya OP

Me and some friends have started some kind of record company. Thunder & Lightning Records. It is a Swedish non-profit record label. We release limited 7" vinyl singles by bands we like. Saving the world one record at a time. We will print 100 copies. The band/artist will recieve 10 copies. Remaining 80 copies will be traded by Thunder & Lightning Records. We´re not making any money. Instead we´re paying for all costs ourselves. If someone wants a 7" split single, all they have to do is send us a 7" of choice and they will receive a copy of our releases. Trading is the new black. This is our small contribution to the music world.
Our first release is out now, volume 1.
Two swedish bands that Lemmy would be proud of:
Suomen Pojat / Dance in the moonlight
CCK-9 / Whitelined
Want a copy? lets trade. You give us a 7" vinyl of your choice and we send you our release. Simple as that.
drop us a line at [email protected]
Cheers / Mik

I can't help you out, but I really hope your luck turns around!
People can be really shitty but you can't appreciate the good without the bad, right? 
 
 
 
Good luck and happy birthday!

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.

Please give re-listens to NMH till it clicks. I just saw them play in DC and it was an absolutely amazing, beautiful performance.  It also sounds perfect on vinyl.

10-4. Thanks. Just let me know. 

Also looking! Get at this guy first, though.

Dedication.

Dedication.

Diary is a difficult topic.
My 70 year old grandpa told me he hasn't had a glass of milk since the marines..which was when he was in his twenties..man does NOT like milk
