Oh, I see what you did there. Guess I should have specified that it would only be necessary to grab one and run. But thanks for the unjustified assumption that I'm a flipper, Steve. You're pretty cool.

Definitely agree with 442. Awesome. Hate to sound overly bitter, but it's stuff like that which causes me to occasionally hate people so fucking much. Don't care about about your counter-debate ("hey man, it's just capitalism.") -- I'm not a communist, and I still think that situation is ridiculous. I'd have been tempted to sucker-punch him and make a run for it, with his gold LPs in hand.

There are a handful of things, here, that I'd totally like to grab. Unfortunately I'm a little tight on cash at the moment. Hope you can come up with enough cash -- those tuition fees are a killer. /edit/ Dammit. I probably shouldn't go for it, but what can you tell me about that Futures LP? Is it a double, or an additional variant you're parting with? And what kind of condition is it in? I'll PM you if I can talk myself into springing for it.

He'd be forced to refund you though, right? I'd totally do it if I wasn't worried that he'd somehow "pull some strings" and end up with another black copy. $125 is a pretty big factor to consider, assuming it backfires.

My thoughts exactly. Tempted to Buy It Now just so I can leave him negative feedback for not delivering the goods. I'm not normally that big of a prick, but... come on. The dude has it coming.

As if this release itself didn't make my day, this pretty much put it over the top. So kick-ass.

Do it to it. If someone's stupid enough to pre-flip a record, they deserve to have their order canceled. Lets the rarity / collector-value go to a fan who deserves it, and not some asshat looking to make a quick buck. It's probably not 100% "professional," per se, but I'd personally pull the trigger if I was in Matt's situation.

Fuck you. You know who you are.

I'll keep you posted. A good frame isn't going to be cheap, though, unfortunately. I've used Wholesale Poster Frames in the past, and was pretty happy with the (basic) frame I received. I set up something a bit nicer, for the lithograph, complete with matting. < $70. If I can't find anything nicer or cheaper, I just may have to bite the bullet on it. Seriously a beautiful print -- I wouldn't mind giving it a proper setup, at all.

Oh I never texted you, I saw you in here before I had even ordered haha. I texted a real life friend, he got a black, it all worked out. Oh, I see how it is. Glad I didn't step out or head off to the kitchen for a bite to eat. Glad to hear it all worked out, though.

Still haven't received that text. I'm assuming you punched in the wrong number... which means someone somewhere else is going to be a little confused. Thanks for remembering, at least. Fortunately I was at the right place at the right time... which never seems to happens, with these limited orders.

Ah, fair enough. Definitely a speedy $1,800+... Counting just the black copies, that is.

Unnecessary zero. /edit/ Took two minutes for black to sell out, after your post. (10:28 PST) Christ. If I had a life, there's no way I would have gotten one.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the limiting of one black copy per household is genius. No doubt someone, somewhere, will take the time to work around that... but way to stick it to the flippers.

And now I can go to sleep. I know everyone's congratulated you on the release, Matt, but I think the rate at which these sell out will be a genuine testament to your label, choice of release, and effort. Glad to support you guys.

I sprung for the autographed lithograph, and I decided long ago that it needs to be framed. Anyone know of a good custom-framing site or service? Unless there are 17 x 18" frames floating around, out there. I seemed to have missed them.

Pretty sure you're entitled to a test press, now.

Forgot to thank you for the link, Patron. Awesome site. Evidently, though, it says the highest sale was of $212... which more or less makes me a liar, I guess. Could have sworn I had seen it sell for (significantly) more than that, but... oh well. I PM'd Chaz725 and offered $15 on top of what he was asking. He's logged in since then, but hasn't gotten around to getting back to me. Bummer. In the process of setting up something with a gent on eBay, though, for $90 [+shipping]. Nowhere near as good as a deal as Chaz's offer, but it is what it is. Not than anyone cares about any of this. Just figured I'd update the thread.

Any day meow.

Same. The bottom edge of the sleeve looks like it was folded pretty good in transit. Kind of a bummer, but the record itself is in tip-top shape.

Anyone else absolutely pumped to receive their messenger bag today?

I'd be interested in hearing this, too. With the official colors, photos, and [vague] pricing announced, it would seem that the proverbial cat is out of the bag. Pressing numbers and a release date, and we'll be set.

Oh boy.

Well. That jumped up pretty quick.

+ Karma for your time and effort.
