    [ENDED GIVEAWAY] Record Flipping & Suicide Awareness

    in Sale/Trade/Wants

    Posted

    Thank you to everyone who entered so far, I appreciate the kind words and sharing of related stories. This isn't just in memoriam of Michael, but to those who have lost a loved one (in some cases more) and how music can help you through the hard times as it has for myself. The mixture of sadness, anger, and confusion is a terrible thing.

    I will be posting a video of all names submitted being pulled out of a hat after closing time so everyone sees that they have a chance!

    [ENDED GIVEAWAY] Record Flipping & Suicide Awareness

    in Sale/Trade/Wants

    Posted

    The last post I made was an attempt to seek offers for an extra copy of Circa Survive's "Descensus" pre-order (Yellow/Black splatter) that I did not physically have in my posession at the time. I was naive (showing a lack of experience, wisdom, or judgment) in how record flipping actually hurts the vinyl collecting community. The downvotes I got proves that, lol. I'd like to see vinyl collections continue at fair prices in the years to come.

    To make up for this mistake, spread holiday spirit, and spread awareness to other new and old record collectors about record flipping, I'd like to give away a couple records as well as purchasing two records anywhere online of your choice ($30 USD limit before shipping). The extra Circa Survive order was cancelled, or else I would love to give it away.

    I expect nothing in return other than I am hopeful for future record flipping attempts in this community can be handled in a more friendlier manner. Be tactical in how you correct someone's ignorance.


    • Record 1: Hotel Books - I'm Almost Happy Here, But I Never Feel At Home (InVogue Records 1st Press - Sea Blue /300) 2014, SEALED, Unplayed
    • Record 2: Being As An Ocean - Death's Great Black Wing Scrapes The Air / L'exquisite Douleur (1st Press - Clear /1000) 2014, FLEXI-DISC, Unplayed
    • Record 3: Your online choice ($30 USD limit before shipping.)
    • Record 4: Your online choice ($30 USD limit before shipping.)


    Also, I would like to bring up Suicide Awareness. I lost a friend (Michael William Isaacs, 17) this past 21 November, 2014 from suicide. He always had a loving personality and he loved music more than anyone I have ever met, and for that, I want to pay back in a small way for his random acts of kindness through music, specificially through Vinyl Collective. The last thing we talked about were vinyl records. If you are feeling depressed, seek help, it is not an act of weakness. Ask and make sure your friends and family are truly OKAY this holiday season. We are all in this fishbowl together!

    I will be selecting four random individual winners this TUESDAY, 09 DECEMBER at 10PM Central Time. For entry, please reply with "Suicide is not the answer." as well as which record option you prefer as listed above.

    For options 3 & 4 and you live outside of the US, please make sure the online retailer has available shipping options to your country!

    edit 1: originally wrote 02 December on accident instead of 09 December.
    edit 2: removed international restrictions.
