    So you're not willing to spend less than $20 on a record?

    Mista Raws got a reaction from 19841gg3 in HydraHead TEST PRESSING SALE   
    I bought a condo two and half years ago as a short sale while the market was at it's lowest point.
    I put offers on 30+ condos and was repeatedly underbid by investors with cash. Despite my higher bids, banks were taking less money from those with cash as opposed to losing more money by selling to a first time buyer with a traditional loan. Which, at the time, was considered very risky due to the high amount of people defaulting on their loans. The majority of these cash buyers were buying the properties to upgrade a couple items then wait a few months to resell the properties once the stock of short sale properties had been depleted.
    I was pretty much being forced to lower my affordable range so the money I had saved as a down payment registered as a higher percentage when compared to my newly lowered price range. In the city I live in, this difference in price range would have relegated me to living in a neighborhood where it was quite unsafe for me to walk around in at night.
    It pissed me off that people with money could just come in and swoop up these properties and force me into a crappy neighborhood with no intention of ever living in them while I was looking to purchase a place I may be living in the rest of my life.
    When compared to this, buying records to make a profit like people buy antiques, baseball cards, comic books, art, etc. doesn't really seem like a big deal to me. After all, record collecting is a hobby right?
    I'm also aware that this long boring story about me buying a condo would be about as effective at changes someone's mind in regards to those who buy records to profit off of as me simply responding with a sarcastic Confucius quote.

    These will if anyone wants anything before they go up there.
    They will all eventually be on discogs or eBay but at 10% higher.
    I've subtracted 10% from all prices since that's what eBay would charge if they sold there. I will also ship media mail in the US for free or credit any other shipping $3.50.
    If you think these are overpriced, don't buy them. I'm in no hurry.
    If you don't trust me, I will do a private sale on eBay but each item will cost 10% more.
    If you want more info about the quality of a particular item, send me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

    Someone flipping a record doesn't get me all worked up.  It's inevitable and something we all have to deal with in this hobby (and I'm guessing most hobbies that involve limited editions and what not).
     
    It does annoy me when people try and do it here and even more so when the seller tries to come off as a nice guy by 'trying to cut us a deal since he's eliminating the middle man (eBay)'.  If he wants to drop $2500 and try to make a profit, whatever.  I can't do anything about it besides not support it, but keep that shit away from here and stop pretending like you're doing us a 'favor'.
