The first record was dope. I'm confident this will be equally good, if not better. I love anything Evan Weiss has his hands on. Also, this being on Polyvinyl is amazing. They have consistently high quality pressings and outstanding customer service.

Pets Hounds was tight. No reason to think this won't be as good. 

Didn't even listen to the new song yet and I threw my wallet at my monitor.

well, you'll have to flip it to hear the other side. 

As both a Coheed and a BN fan and having dissected the fan bases from within, I'll definitely with certainty say that BN has the most overzealous and worship-level fans. 

I did the same damn thing.  Ha!

This sounds nothing like turnover to me, sounds more like old Tigers Jaw than Charmer. Im really stoked to hear the whole album, It's got potential to be better than s/t which I never thought could happen. 

I disappeared from VC for quite some time, but I'm making my triumphant return, coincidentally as I'm working at UO! maybe I can help y'all out with info and intel that I get from the newsletters they print out every week. I'll def let y'all know when I find out about cool sales and stuff too.

Nah. They just look black. Hold it up to the light. Does the sticker say 'colored vinyl'?

the word.  STOP.  UNSUBSCRIBE.
 
Kidding.  I appreciate the PM about this and I'm choosing to address it publicly, just in case anyone else misinterpreted my rant.  I'd also be curious to hear if anyone else read my soapbox post and felt like I was attacking STILLUNDERGROUND or coming off as ungrateful, because that definitely wasn't the intention.
 
I still don't know exactly what it is that you do within Hot Topic's reach, but that's not something I asked or feel the need to know the answer to, really.  I think it goes without saying that everyone in this thread greatly appreciates your contributions to this thread.  My post was aimed entirely at the greediest of the aftermarket flippers; if you go back and carefully read it, you'll see that I mentioned the situation is shitty no matter how it's approached.  I used an example of you dropping news of a repress one day before it goes up for sale vs. one month in advance, and how the outcome is unfortunate in either scenario, thanks to the nature of flipper-warriors who live and breathe on the boards.  I was never airing grievances about your posts or contributions and I apologize if that's what you took from my winded post.
 
"Marketing strategy" – or whatever phrase that I chose – was being used mostly facetiously.  Not counting the flippers who buy in bulk, I'm aware that your posts on VC do not account for a huge chunk of that ~1,000 stock flying off the shelf.  That's a given.  You don't owe any of us any information in this thread, and I think – I hope? – none of us feel entitled enough to think otherwise.  I don't think my post implied that, because I never intended to single you out or ridicule you.  But maybe I phrased something poorly, I don't know.  Either way, keep on doing what you're doing if you so choose – literally no one is complaining.

I'm not the most active member on here.... Mostly cause I'm a pretty quiet dude and don't really have much to say... But I check the forums 2/3 times a day.  Super frustrating to have to work a double one day and miss something that I've been waiting years for. As previously stated, no real fault to new Travis... But an actual announcement of a pre-order would've been very much appreciated. 

" 'Cause
I feel so mad
I feel so angry
I feel so callous
So lost, confused, again "
 
More appropriate lyrics now. Actually hoping someone dies because you missed a record written for 15 year olds is pretty silly.

This is exactly why I want my account deleted. Your all a bunch of childish fucks. Someone ban me! Fuck VC and fuck you all.
 
Assholes

PM'd.

Someone pointed out that Amazon's listing has a March 3rd date cited, so you'll probably hear more information as that date draws closer.  Since a lot of people seem to care about this reissue, this thread will likely be bumped the moment a release date is murmured anywhere on the web.  You can read the posts pointing out that February 10th has come and gone, and all the subsequent replies after it – there aren't that many – and determine that no one has any information to share.  Or least, I'd like to assume you could determine that, if you really wanted to.  I understand that you're new to the boards, but rest assured that no one discusses release dates in private messages with the sole intent of keeping everyone else out of the loop.  When there is info, it'll be posted in this thread.  And probably several times over.

I can't believe the soon to be most important artist of all time's thread got locked but this one is still going!

I just under grade everything. 99% of stuff I sell is NM but I still grade it VG+. Or if it has some dings and is a VG+  I'll grade it VG and so on. I'm not worried about losing "value" by the grading system. When I sell a record I'm just trying to make room on shelf or thin out records I haven't listened to in awhile. I under grade it and list it at a lower price than whatever the cheapest currently listed on Discogs. They always sell fast and I've never received a complaint.

I like to meet with every potential Discogs seller I may or may not do business with.  We sit down, talk terms.  If I like what I see, we take it for a spin so I can get a feel for what we're talking about.  There's usually some thorough back-forth haggling – gotta' make sure I'm getting the most out of the loan I took out for such a hefty purchase.
 
But really, please stop with the car comparisons. You may as well equate record dings to dents or knicks on the produce you buy at the grocery store.
 
"I'm paying goddamn well over $3.00 a pound for those carrots.  You're telling me it's okay if one is a little dented?  What if you bought a car that was 'a little dented'?  What then?  Tell me what when, motherfucker."

Every record I buy I make sure I drop it on it's top left corner, that way all of them look the same when I look at them on the shelf.

Dings matter to people for the same reason they do to sports card, coin or comic book collectors. Ask a baseball card or currency collector how much difference a ding makes to the value of a card or note - probably like 75% on an in-demand one. 
 
People who collect anything are weird. People who collect anything involving printer matter are even weirder. It's like they need some way to rank one copy of something over the next so they'll look for the slightest noticeable markings and use them as benchmarks. 
 
I don't think it's that hard to understand. If you're only interested in the tunes, then be happy with your copy of an album dug from the bargain bin and be done with it. If you're an obsessive "collector" then you'll probably spend the rest of your adult life searching for the most pristine copy of "Dark Side of the Moon" imaginable, and when you finally find that mint sealed OG you'll wake up each morning paranoid that this will be the day it'll fall on the ground and get a corner ding. 
 
I don't think one is right and one is wrong. Just two sides of the vinyl appreciation coin. 

I've said it pretty much any time ding/seam splits come up:
 
The appropriate reaction or level of annoyance is "Aw darn" and then moving on.
