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.

If anyone has the Only Boundaries /100 Preorder by Balance and Composure, I will straight up trade my white copy of SSTB for that.

Someone buy the ITTCT that I didn't!! Great album, and great seller!

TEST PRESS UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I got ahold of Scott yesterday to see where things were at. He said he'd sent them to Damascus already and was waiting for the return shipment of signed goods! Jackets are completed. I've yet to see photos... but from what he had to say... WELL WORTH THE WAIT WE'VE ALL ENDURED!
 
...SO!.. I texted Edwin (from Damascus) and he did confirm that they've got 'em and they're about to be heading back over to the SlyVinyl HQ in Denver SOON! The band has been in the studio finishing up their latest record so it's been absurdly busy for them all!
 
Long story short... these should be out to you in the near future!
 
In summation: We truly CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH for your patience in this. This particular type of creation is brand new for us and required a LOT of coordination to complete. We hope that the end product satisfies you all. These will be some truly special gems within your collections/archives!!

I had a copy on vinyl but traded it for a shabutie cd

Good luck, brother.

At Amoeba, I flip to Crystal Method in the electronic section and I see a sealed copy of Vegas for 19.99
 
I immediately discogs it to see if there's a repress, nothing.Same catalog number as the original pressing. Check amazon. Nothing. Do some minor googling and nothing comes up as a link to buy it.
 
I look at the record again. It looks like it could have potentially been resealed. There's also some light ring wear in the right light, and the bottom looks a tiny bit scuffed. Definitely not a brand new record that just came out...
 
So the question is, did it get a repress that isn't advertised anywhere (unlikely for above reasons and Amoeba would probably have 3-5 of them sitting there if it were repressed), is it a bootleg (it's a gatefold so I'm doubtful), or did I just score huge?

I've got one. It's The Afterman. From Coheed's The Afterman Ascension.

Good luck, brother.

I know my foot is dirty, this was taken directly after he was finished, so there is still ink on my foot. 

I'll swing by Criminal Records in Atlanta on Tuesday;  If they have it I'll pick whatever I can up.

$15 for shipping and tax? whats the etc part of this deal? are you going to deliver it on a golden platter to my doorstep?

For as much as this board loves sarcasm, the people sure don't understand it. thanks for the downvote bro.

In! Saying this once more, and probably many more times, your prints are so sick Corey.

Either Fuchsia or Yellow. Definitely NOT yellow/black haze considering it was released after the HT version was.
