  1. Yea, I've heard they are floating around. The closest one to me that sells vinyl is a half hour away. One of these weekends I'll have some free time to swing out there and take a look.

    If it's that far away I would recommend calling ahead so you don't waste your time or gas. The people that work at my hot topic are more than happy to check to see if they have a vinyl and then hold it for me. I'd assume your location would do the same.

  2. sure! I have something like this. Its velvety and has a stylus brush as well. I also use a record cleaning solution. You can make your own or buy it. A bottle of it is fairly cheap so I usually just buy it and use a few drops as I spin the platter, then brush it with the grooves and it usually gets it pretty squeaky clean. The liquid is generally anti-static too which helps!

    Thanks! I went to my local shop and picked up a kit and the guy told me how to make my own. All my records are so pretty again.

  3. I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. I decided to go scouring for a Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus variant. I found one on eBay for $99 with the Buy It Now on it. It was the cheapest of all of them so I pulled the trigger. I wake up to an email from the seller saying he didn't mean to put it on Buy It Now and wanted people to bid it up. I got my refund and a chuckle. Oh dumb flippers...

  4. Well I take back everything I said about my GH

    Pulled out side C/D

    Travis, who do I contact about this? I ordered to store from the website...

     

    I actually had a problem with my copy as well that I ordered online. I took it into my local store and they let me trade copies. That may also be an option for you. I feel like I'm stating the obvious, but call and make sure they have a copy first.

  5. try cleaning it. I've had to clean EOTS and Dude Ranch now because of leftover residue from the pressing plant causing some noise. Dry cleaning won't work, but with a cleaning solution and a brush it helped immensely. Might save you the hassle of having to return it!

    Thank you so much! I don't have cleaning items but I have a hot topic store near me so I'll see what they can do. Do you have any recommendations on things to get? And where to get them? Thanks!

  6. So, I got my GH. On the first play I noticed some popping. It wasn't a huge distraction so I got over it. Then on inner lip of Side C there was lots of surface noice. Still not a huge deal. On Side D before and after Not Now lot of loud pops, which was distracting enough to want to return it. Since it's sold out online, I called my local store and they said they have lots of copies and to bring mine in and they will do their best. Keep your fingers crossed guys!

  7. Here's what you should have said: 

     

    Going out on a limb here, if any kind soul would be willing to trade me their copy of the Dilophosaurus Variant for my Black Variant I would be pretty ecstatic.  I'd include XXXX of dollars to make it fair.  Thanks in advance!

     

    (XXXX is your call)  Personally, I would say 40 dollars to make up for the difference.  "A little bit of extra cash" just ain't gonna cut it.  

    Thanks for the help! I'm still new on the board and just trying to figure it all out.

  8. I am going to start contributing. It would be nice to deal with people here that actually are into vinyl and not ebay flippers. That's why I decided to ask here. I mean new contributors have to start somewhere right? I don't think I'm trying to "take advantage". If someone wants to trade cool if not cool. I'm willing to throw in extra cash as to not "take advantage". I'm not really sure what else I can do here to not upset you all, which was not my intention. Maybe you can help give me pointers since I'm a new contributor? Just looking for some friendly advice here.
