I found 2 of those AIC s/t at Welfare a couple years ago. Paid $40 a piece. Flipped one last year.
 
Nice score mm!

Man, this is pretty low. This is definitely not a board I want any part of anymore. At least I know when to throw in the towel...

I wonder if your business model isn't failing because you come off as an overly whiny, entitled, tempramental butthole? Just own up to not knowing what the fuck you're doing and stop complaining about "big business" running smaller labels out. It's called adapting... change, or get the fuck out of the game.
 
And to anyone complaining about RSD and still buying things... YOU ARE THE REASON THERE IS A PROBLEM. Not Asian Man, not No Idea... whatever, this board blows. I swear I haven't been able to click on a title without reading incessant bitching. Did that other board go away?

Lol more contradictions. Atick to your guns...or dont.

LOL...YOU see above
The first post of mine you quoted...you completely contradict yourself...and you continue to do so with each of your posts in here.

Exactly. Gotta love it huh. People shit on it declare its a joke and still participate. Hypocritical idiots. Not old enough to know what "boycott" means?

Well, thanks for keeping tabs on me, chum. I appreciate it.
 
Just for the record, my point is that I am not going to participate in the day's events this year (because I don't want to queue up to visit a store I visit and spend money in every week of the year). But I haven't contradicted myself because my original point wasn't that I will be boycotting RSD.
 
My personal opinion (stated above) would be that I think it would be great if more stores considered boycotting RSD, like a few stores I know will be doing this year. I know of local stores/sellers that still have stock from 2010/2011 that they haven't been able to shift. My point being that it's possible that more and more stores feel the pressure to stock unreasonable amounts of RSD exclusives for fear of losing potential sales, but only end up with surplus stock at (sometimes) unreasonable prices.
 
Just because some releases this year are dropping on RSD doesn't mean that I shouldn't get them? Or is there a rulebook I don't know about?
 
Either way, good chat.

okay.
 
edit - see above

I'm guessing that was aimed at me? I'm not boycotting - I didn't say I would be, I'm just not going to queue up for hours to fight through hordes of people to pick up something I would ideally like to pre-order (like any other album being released) and pick up on any other day. It's something that will likely not sell out but I'd rather give the store the business and ask them to get it in so I can, you know, buy it.

I think we should all play it safe and agree to blame Miles Davis for the pressing quality.

For what its worth I know exactly how it works and instead of saying "sold by newbury" i just said newbury..  the jazz releases that they have been exclusively involved in selling have not been up to snuff.  I know they're not pressing records but they're putting their name on the releases (sticker on shrink) and taking my money, so they're gonna get some of my scorn. panties can be unknotted, dudes.

Ha!
"I'm not going to RSD. I'm boycotting. Plus, I have friends picking up RSD titles for me!"

I won't be going this year, definitely. I am interested in one or two things and through a friend I can make sure another store reserves them for me. I didn't go last year either, but my girlfriend wanted a few LPs the year before that so we queued for a little while. It was bullshit, I fucking hate queuing.
 
 
 
Awesome, thank you. It completely passed me by.
 
I have to admit that I do feel the attraction when the RSD lists come out. I skim through and I'm usually "oh nice, I'll get that. That looks good, I'll get that." etc. I have to take a step back and thing whether I actually want to bother with the queue, with the tussles in the shop, and then think about whether I want to spend a premium to get a RSD exclusive. What I'm trying to do more and more is estimate what I could possible spend on RSD releases, and then spend that on second hand stuff elsewhere in other indie stores (and get a lot more for my money) or spend the same in the RSD-participating shop at a later date... with no fucking queues.

Anyone talking shit on Mike Park/Asian Man can go fuck right the fuck off.
Carry on.
