Look at this genius. Waited until his order arrived, then made a new eBay account. Dude's bulletproof!

think she is taking about the ebay flipper

this

Whoops. My bad. Inconvenient post-sequence, on top of my beliefs that everyone on the internet is a comedian, all the time. Sorry for the mix-up...

...But I can't complain with the results.

In other news, I am thoroughly impressed with how quickly this arrived. Via Fedex. In one piece. Still sort of suspicious that I may be dreaming. Beautiful release, Matt, as everyone's already said. Going to give it a spin after some food and a nap.

Think she is referencing the dog and the ridiculous amount of LP copies, actually.

Were these even sealed to begin with? Collectors and flippers alike get their panties in a bunch over whether or not the shrink-wrap is intact or broken on LPs. A lot of eBay listings I've read, for this release, have "NEW/SEALED" in the description. I can't say I've read confirmation from anyone, on the subject.

The putrid stench of flipper is almost unbearable in this thread.

How many of those gold TDAGs did you pick up?

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.

Someone there had 4 in his hand i offered him 45 he said theyre going on ebay.

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.

now someone buy it so hes fucked

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.

Its hard to sell something on ebay that isn't getting sent to you

yesss, another black just went up and I somehow snagged it!

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.

Let me know if you find an affordable option. I hear American Frame is good but I've never used them. The closest standard size is 18"x24" but that would look strange haha.

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.

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.

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.

Yes I was very happy to see that. I just texted a friend, I hope he gets one!

i meant 30 minutes from when it went up. and it looks to be sold out now.

Ah, fair enough.

Definitely a speedy $1,800+...

Counting just the black copies, that is.

damn, black will be gone in like 30 minutes.

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.

Can I get a prize for calling this a couple of pages back?

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.

Plus, its jacket was creased.

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.
