Are they looking for attention and pity?
Sounds about right.

And also socks the ones with colors, designs. Basically female socks.
I like socks...they don't seem too terrible. I like fancy men's socks though. Since I have to "dress nice" for work, and wear suits on days we have a service socks are where I really get to shine.

Do you work at the humane society? Wifey works at the one here in Portland.

I've followed this thread for a while and restrained comment. But other than a few stand up people on here the boards most of you are pretentious dicks. If you don't like what he has, leave the thread alone, but all you have done is bully this guy around because you don't like his records, or he is asking high prices which he said he would negotiate. If this is supposed to a community of collectors, that isn't the way to go about it.
So there are...what...two people in this thread needlessly being dicks? And one of them is a very new user. That's significantly fewer than in the previous threads.
You're generalizing an entire message board based on a few people being jerks. The thing I think you're forgetting is... this is the internet. Sometimes people are just jerks because they can get away with it.
Everyone else has been...yeah, I guess somewhat mean, but it's more out of frustration than anything.
As for the pretentiousness of the board...even if a bunch of these people only collect pop-punk records*...it's still a group of record collectors, dude. Duh. Of course we're a little pretentious.
BUT. If someone scoffs at your price because it is too high, that isn't them being pretentious, it's them being realistic.
And finally, bullying. No one is bullying him because they don't like his records. (Ok, maybe yanquiuxo is.) People are letting him know that his pricing is incorrect and that he's insane to expect what he was asking for in the other threads. This whole "don't bully people, whatever" that people are into lately is such a load of crap.
I got "bullied" as a kid, got beat up, picked on, etc. But you know what? That's what made me learn to grow up and stand up for myself. I get that sometimes bullying goes to far, but this is nothing. Kid needed to learn a lesson, and I think he is. I don't think he's quite there yet, but he's learning.

*(For the record, I have no problem with collecting pop-punk. I have some for nostalgia myself and still genuinely enjoy old The Get Up Kids and Saves the Day stuff.)

"You ever see Sam Cossell and Gollum in the same place?" hahahaha

Ha... I don't associate with people who I work with outside of the workplace
When I worked at coffee shops and stuff I hung out with work people all the time, now I don't though. All the people from my work live pretty far from me.

i WISH i could make some friends at work. sadly, everyone here is old enough to be my mom. the ones who aren't are guys who are attorneys and don't really 'socialize' with the support staff. i DID have a good friend here, but she left in January because she's doing clinicals for nursing school.
I made new friends when I moved to Portland and now the main one that kind of keeps my group together is moving, and my friend who moved out here after me is probably moving too. Making friends is HARD if you don't have people at work to be friends with.

I'm predicting around noon PST. Someone should bump the thread, though, as I'll be at work and only able to check periodically.
I was thinking more around 10, so I'll try to check it then.

Just a few more hours until it goes up! "approximately 24 hours until it goes up" about 21 hours ago.

I love Mastodon, but if you're gonna sign your records, don't modify the pricetag. That is serious flipper-esque bullshit. Good thing the only thing I'm considering picking up tonight is some Gojira wax if the price is right.
Yeah, when I saw them back on a tour they did with Baroness there were pulling that shit and I haven't been to a Mastodon show since. Two of the guys are from the town I'm from (where they were playing) so, to do that in your own home town where people know you makes it even worse in my opinion. I still love those dudes, and I still pick up their albums at reasonable prices when I can. But I can't abide that kind of price gouging.

You could always do some research before listing prices. That way you don't look like even more of an idiot
This.
I seriously hate selling on ebay I would rather just instantly sell to people who I know genuinely care about the music.
FTHBBBBBBBBPPPPPTTTT.
So you're being lazy. I do the same thing so I can understand. The difference is I just sold a bunch of stuff for like half what it was "worth" because I wanted it gone. (Not on here, it wasn't records)
The way I did that was this:
1) I found out what other people were selling stuff for. This is important. Otherwise you look like an asshat.
2) I tried to sell it for slightly under that price for about...3 days. (and by tried I mean I posted one ad on craigslist.)
3) When somebody said, "I'll give you $1,250 for the lot" instead of the $1500 I was asking, I said "Yeah, fuck it, whatever." (that said, total worth was about $2100.)
4) Profit. I still ended up getting significantly more than I had originally paid, and someone got one hell of a bargain.
And that wasn't even on a site where "people care about blah, blah, blah".
So. What I'm saying is you don't have any feedback. You're new to the board. You came in first thing looking like an asshat.
Just be cool. Do research on pricing, set low prices and be prompt with shipping, and finally, stop posting so many fucking threads about the same shit.
That way maybe people will get off your bag about everything so far and you can sell some of these records and more in the future.

Did you read what I wrote at the top? But also thanks for letting me know, as you can see since you notified me of that I edited my price. ALL the prices are vague, I will negotiate on any of them. Also if you know of a record online cheaper I will adjust that price accordingly.
The prices aren't vague, if they were, rather than being exact numbers they would say "looking to get somewhere around 'x' amount." Not "this is the price, offer less if you want."
I think what you meant is negotiable, although usually when a price is set like that there isn't too much room for negotiation because the person won't let it go for much less. (In your case due to sentimental value is the reason you've given before.) That's why you're catching so much flak.
In all honesty, and not trying to be a dick, you should just take this shit to eBay and take a long break from trying to sell on here.

Deleted my last post, realized it wasn't the correct one I had seen. This guy has it though.

Dude. You have four, FOUR fucking sale threads. Just add to/bump ONE of them. This is getting ridiculous.

Trust me, people on this forum can be just as rude as others if you come in here acting like an idiot. You seem like a nice, respectful person though, so welcome!
