  1. Adam's correct. OOP is just part of the collection. I remember my friend buying YFW @ hot topic for like 11 bucks. Seriously.. And now just because the band is big with a shiton of fans doesn't mean that they should repress more records.

    I hate represses. It's cool that more people get a chance to own a record they really want, but at the same time it sucks for the person who's been vividly collecting these records. The rarity of the item is loss. I felt the same way when they first repressed Deja Entendu. I still have the first pressing and it's basically worth nothing because of that 'hidden box in the back' crap that they pulled. The prices go up and down because of the demand and nothing else. There's nothing like going to a random record store to find that oop record you must have at retail price.

    Represses help everyone. The label, the band, the fans.

    If you're worried your 1st press or whatever will be devalued from a repress then it seems like you're just collecting for profit. Represses help the band and label make money and lets the fans get a copy to listen to without having to fork over a ton of cash for something rare. The repress doesnt make that 1st press anymore or less rare. There are still the same amount of 1st press copies.

    I can understand what you're coming from when you say it helps the label, band, and fans, but I feel like it's about a collection and the value of your collection. Some things are worth more than others because of the rarity/demand of an album. Some people work hard @ getting that album and it makes your collection special. It's not all about the cash value, it's about the rarity value.

    Just as a personal example, I forked over somewhere between $100-$150 in trade value to get deja, which is why it sucks to know about the whole repress thing. If I'd've known, I could care less if it was a 1st press or a repress, it's about having that record in my collection.

    Not trying to start an argument, because I feel like both sides are correct. But put yourself in my shoes in spending over $400 in GUK, BN, and JEW records only to find out about the represses. It totally sucks...

    That site has them, but what I would like to trade for is the Radiohead's discbox. I'll throw in another record or a few bucks. Or the Sigur Ros boxset. Again I'll throw in another record or a few bucks or something.
