I’m down for a group buy too 

This past December I saw a copy of Hop Along - Painted Shut in a new arrival used section at a record store with an $8 sticker. I assumed it would be black, but peeked inside and saw that it was the white with pink haze variant, the only color variant that there is of this record. Instantly bought. Looks like it has sold on Discogs for 90, and the two copies for sale are 150 and 175.

Just picked up a few more Koz records so I figured I’d take a group shot. It’s a pretty minuscule collection compared to some other Koz collections I’ve seen here, but I pretty much have everything I want, other than April. The black/white marbled /300 April is a white whale of mine, I just don’t have $200 to drop on it.

Looking for the teal/green/blue variant of the second self titled Everyone Everywhere record from 2012. Shoot me a message if you have a copy you’d be willing to let go of. 

I actually bought a copy of who you are is not enough just a few days ago at a local record store, Siren records in doylestown pa. I hadn't listened to them all that much but I knew that they are associated with another nj band I love, gates. I also knew just from frequenting this site that anything by this band is extremely rare and that I had to buy it. I've listened to it in its entirety twice since I got it and I like it a lot, but pm me with an offer and I may consider letting go of it. It's the caramel "cup o joe" variant, #171/300.

Just moved into a new place and got a new turntable, since I was using my old roommate's for the past few years. Set up is a blue U-Turn Obit Plus with the cue lever upgrade -> Onkyo TX-8020 -> KLH AV-830 and around 130 records in two wooden apple crates.

I just got the last piece I needed to complete my Appleseed Cast collection, their first 7 inch, Tale of the Aftermath.  Managed to get a copy on Ebay for $35 after always seeing it for $65+ on discogs. Pretty happy to complete this collection, my largest collection from a single artist. Hoping to get a new album from them this year.

Saw a copy pop up on eBay a month or so ago with a starting bid of just 99 cents. I was so surprised that there wasn't an outrageous price on it as usual and was hopeful that I might be able to get it for a decent price. Over the course of maybe 5 days it eventually sold for 80 something I think. Sorry I know this isn't much of a helpful post, just thought I'd share that eBay sighting I saw of this rare and valuable record. I would love to have all three of their albums on vinyl, this and blind are always just so expensive that I don't think it'll happen any time soon for me. This record has some of my favorite songs of theirs. Good luck on your search! 

So close to completing my Appleseed Cast collection. All that is missing is the Tale of the Aftermath 7". There has been one on discogs for a while now for $65, I just can't bring myself to spending that much on 7 inch that I know I wont spin very regularly. Hopefully I come across a more affordable copy.
