    There’s a new pressing of this up on matador, in baby blue.

    Holy shit!  Only $21.99!  I've had this on my Amazon list forever and lately it's been about $40

     

    Preordered this and got Cat Power Covers Record used discount code "VOTEMATADOR "  and it knocked $4.31 off the order.  It looks like the code doesn't apply for pre-orders or bundles, so it must have just been on the Cat Power record

    The unauthorized releases are the rights holders generally, put up a Metallica boot it's going to get taken down, pick an artist who doesn't care or have the money to patrol ebay and they don't get policed. 

    Yeah very true.  Mine are usually Pink Floyd boots, ocassionally Zeppelin.  I'm sure both have people that only scour the internet looking for boots.  I think it probably also depends on the country of origin... I believe some countries like Italy have little to no copyright laws.

     

    I guess the thing that bugs me is that other sellers from the U.S. have the same items for sale and are not taken down.  Maybe it's the wording in the description?  (unofficial, unauthorized, etc?)  Who knows?

    Has anyone ever bid on and won and item only to have the seller cancel and RELIST the exact same item at a higher price hours later?

     

    It just happened to me. I spotted a rare album I've been looking for. Bid more than I wanted to, won, paid immediately and a couple hours later I received a message from the person saying they were going to cancel my order. I checked their auctions and sure enough, there was the same album I just paid for, relisted at $50 more. I messaged them asking why my order was being cancelled (still hasn't happened yet), and their response was that they paid too much for it and wanted more money. I called them out on it and said I would leave positive feedback if they just continued with my original auction win and payment. If not, I would try to contact eBay and dispute it. They removed the new listing and their final response was "Sorry bud hanging onto record. Dispute then. Will put on discogs instead. No biggie."

     

    I'm now refreshing Discogs to see if they post it. So fucking livid right now.

     

    To note: I've been en eBay member since 1998 with 100% positive feedback. I've never once dealt with shit like this. A quick search shows that eBay won't do fuck all for things like this lately. eBay forums just say leave negative feedback and find another seller. Fuck off. Like I can find another seller for a rare item.

     

    Wow man.  What a shitty person.  They probably listed it hoping it would get a ton of bids and sell for higher.  If that's the case, why not put a reserve on it?  

     

    I'm pretty much done with ebay.  They take down my auctions for being "unauthorized releases" yet let other sellers keep the same items up.  Not saying I'm in the right, but at least be consistent.  Ordinary sellers also aren't allowed to sell certain items any more because of "price gouging", even if it's below retail, only premium store sellers can list those items.   Plus with all the fees it's just not really worth my time anymore.  I've just been selling stuff on marketplace, people pick it up and pay cash.  I bet marketplace is starting to eat into ebay's market share for sure, especially now that you can ship things.

    Yep. A non-paying buyer can literally hold the seller hostage for over a month simply by not responding to payment reminders, messages, unpaid claims. eBay blows in that regard.

     

    Some sellers will extend Second Chance Offers if they happen to have multiple copies of something as well. Even if the winning bidder pays they figure they can unload their other one for a few bucks less.

    I honestly think some people bid, win, and don't pay hoping that the seller will mess up and send the item on accident.

  5. Hey everyone.  I would appreciate some imput.  I've been looking to update my modest set up.  I've had a Pro-Ject debut Carbon for about 3 years now with a Sony STR-DE305 and very generic bookshelf speakers w/ sub.   It's ok for what it is, but I've been trying to focus on quality over quantity of vinyl lately.

     

    I've been looking at the ELAC Uni-fi UB5's for speakers.  I have read some shining reviews, but a lot of people mentioned they really shine with a lot of power.  What amp/pre-amp set up would you recommend?  I was eyeing the Reisong A10 EL34 with a Fosi Phono Preamp, but a lot of people mentioned the Reisong lacks power.  Would that be sufficient?  Does tube make a difference?  I'm really looking for the best quality possible and the ability to upgrade certain components as possible.  Also under $500 for preamp/amp is ideal, but willing to spend more if it's worth it.

     

    Thanks!

  6. I think the best as far as new stuff would still be that insane go hastings ebay sale. I got a ton of Grateful Dead box sets for about $15 each.

     

    I've had some nice goofwill/garage sale finds.  Got a bunch of first presses of the chronic, hello nasty, 2001 for $4.

     

    Found a grateful dead American beauty mofi for $2.

     

    Got some lead belly boxes and albums for a buck a piece from goodwill.

    This one is $286 after the comeback promo code. It might be gettin ready to go oop. The only ones on amazon are like $600 and up so pretty good deal for that one.

    I saw this and was considering it.  I already have the mono box so can't really justify spending the money for a couple different albums.    A few of the Beatles deluxe editions look tempting... White Album 4LP for $47 and Abbey Road 3LP for about $50.

  8. The saga continues...... lol back to Detroit.....
