So you're still happy with the durability, almightyseancore? Being in the IKEAless boat myself, this seems like a perfect route. The capacity and dimensions are also picture perfect for my collection and room, too. My only concern is that I've got a few friends who insist that Target furniture is rubbish. And if I'm going to entrust this thing with my vinyl library, it needs to be legitimate. At this point I'm just concerned about long term stability. Also, does Target always offer free shipping on orders over $50? Or is this just a Christmas special?

Yeah, I think I lucked out. A Popsike record to be sure. What's crazy is that the guy who won the auction just bought an Alchemy boxset for $450, a few days ago. I also had bid-notifications tied to my phone. It sat at $200 all day, and literally spiked up within the last four seconds. No exaggeration whatsoever. Snipers gonna' snipe.

Never let her go. Try to hang onto the wife, too.

Oof.

Oh okay.

Wow, that didn't last long at all. I'm actually really happy that a fellow VCer managed to grab it. Totally a steal if you're not worried about the jacket aesthetic. Congratulations blanchard.

Not mine, but another listing just went up for a used copy. $100 BIN. I figured someone would be interested in snagging it before a bidding war begins. Go go go.

Thanks a ton, guys. You're both awesome.

Check the variant on the bottom right corner of the jacket's backside. Does it say Light Blue? I'm just curious.

I doubt you were alone. I recall several people ordering all of the PTSBBAM variants as soon as they went up, and not scoring a clear copy in the process. I believe they're just randomly distributed among the "buy-all" crowd. But we should probably first confirm if they're even taking this approach. I'm leaning towards those who are speculating they'll be reserved for the shows.

Potential details are very vague, I'm aware, and I understand if you're not at liberty to release any info prematurely... but I heard mention of a possible x2 LP press? Is that even a realistic possibility? I also wonder if the cover would be different, and-or mimic the actual CD.

Consider clear. I think it'd look phenomenal.

I've been seeing this more and more, actually. Probably not my exact forte, but pretty cool nonetheless.

Yeah, clearly I made a mistake by creating this thread. I didn't mean to wave around a copy of the album and entertain $70 offers. But if you're broke as hell with the holidays coming up, wouldn't you take the most practical route to profit? I'm sorry that I realized this a day after creating the thread. My bad.

$315 ≠ $200.

And so it will sit for a week, only to boost up in the last hour. Mmm eBay. You speak the truth. I did say that I wasn't necessarily looking for eBay prices. And while I had briefly thought of turning to eBay, it wasn't until I really considered Cesar's post (and several PMs) that I decided to truly entertain the idea. And that's what I've been thinking about for the past 24 hours or so. The last mint copy fetched $250+ on eBay, with many consistently at or around the $200 mark. The $60 - $90 difference, there - albeit ideal - would make a huge difference for the holidays. It really comes down to what makes me feel like less of a douche: refusing a reasonable offer from a stranger on VC... or trying my hand at eBay, to maximize the amount of money I get to spend on my friends, family, and loved ones at the end of the month. I went with the latter. Sorry, guys. The fact that this is (most likely) getting repressed made the decision easier, too. Anyone who truly wants this album on wax should definitely be able to get it for under $30 in the coming years. That's enough to keep my sleep intact.

For the most part, I think I agree. But that clear-haze and maroon-black haze are just... wow.

The clear-haze is glorious, man. What are you talking about? I wish I owned it.

After a good bit of hesitation and various PMs from several [very helpful] VC users, I've decided to list it. Have at it, if you'd like.

Scroll through this to get an idea. About $20. PM me with details.

When was the last time a Hot Topic exclusive went out of stock on the site, on the same day? Genuine question.

No better way to start off a Tuesday morning. The brand new album from The Saddest Landscape, After The Lights is a perfect follow up to the critically acclaimed You Will Not Survive. Featuring seven new jams and artwork by Adam Vass of La Dispute, After The Lights will be released on February 14th, 2012. The first pressing of the LP features a Gatefold Jacket and is out of 1,000 records split 100 Pink/Black Pinwheel, 150 Black (180 g), 300 Orange w/ Black, and 450 Opaque Dark Red. This item if for a single LP and comes with a poster along with a digital download that will be sent around the street date. The Pinwheel record costs more for us to make which is why it costs more. Track Listing: 1.) In Love With The Sound 2.) This Heals Nothing 3.) The Urge For Performance 4.) When Everything Seemed To Matter 5.) The Comfort of Small Defeats 6.)Days of Punched In 7.) Desperate Vespers Overly intrigued by [and thus in it for] the pink-black pinwheel. You Will Not Survive is nothing short of a masterpiece in my books; I truly this hope record will live up to it. http://www.topshelfrecords.bigcartel.com/

I know there's a lot of great people in this community, which is why I feel like such an asshole insisting that eBay would treat me better. I won't disclose the amount, but at the time of this post, yocaseycasey has the top offer. And while it's pretty generous (and significantly over $100), I still feel like I could do better on the 'bay. I don't know; I'll be sleeping on it, but I truly appreciate the interest anyone's showing. I'll address anyone's PMs tomorrow, if I haven't done so this evening.

A little while after that, though, he suggested that no one spend too much on a copy of TAITA or Vheissu anytime soon. Tough to say anything concrete at the moment, but it's definitely a possibility.
