I have more time so I'll throw in my experience with outer sleeves.
 
Sleeve City 5.0 Outer Sleeves - http://www.sleevecityusa.com/ultimate-outer-5-0-record-sleeve-p/9380.htm
PROS:  These are super thick and super clear.  Your records will be ULTRA protected.
CONS:  They are super slippery.  If you are grabbing a handful of records in these sleeves and place them down in a stack, it's not uncommon for the records to slide and fall off your table/bed/surface.  They also can be tight on some thicker jackets because the edges are so thick they don't relax and conform around the edges- they stay taut and there is a gap at the top and bottom where the seams come together, meaning there is unused space and the fit can be tight.  Also, they're the most expensive sleeves.  Their thickness becomes impractical/useless at a point, IMO.
 
Sleeve City 2.5 Outer Sleeves - http://www.sleevecityusa.com/ultimate-outer-2-5-pack-of-50-p/9224.htm
PROS:  These are very clear.  The sleeves are thinner so the fit is more relaxed than the 5.0.  Of the high quality Sleeve City options, these are my favorite.  The price is better than the 5.0
CONS: These are slippery too.
 
Sleeve City Budget 3.0 Outer Sleeves - http://amzn.to/28MVd01
PROS:  After I got over the initial novelty of the super clear, super thick sleeves, I started to notice I actually like the more "gummy", less clear sleeves.  They aren't slippery.  They "feel" better to me when I'm grabbing records, putting them down on surfaces, and handling them.  Also, 100 sleeves for $25 is a much better deal than 50 sleeves for $30 (which is what the premium Sleeve City sleeves cost).
CONS: They are less clear.  They don't stand out like premium sleeves.
 
As I said in my original post, my only warning when buying sleeves is that some companies and some listings on Amazon use low quality control and you'll pay $10 for 200 sleeves and they'll be wonky sizes and some seams will be poorly cut, etc.  Read reviews before you buy any of the super low budget options.
 
And my thoughts on inner sleeves:
 
Diskeeper Ultimate Audiophile Inner Sleeves - http://amzn.to/28KwkDJ
PROS:  They are super thick and have a paper backing on both sides.  It's like slipping your LPs into a tank.
CONS: That thickness is a bit unnecessary IMO and the cost is high for a pack of 50 ($34 on Amazon).
 
Diskeeper Audiophile Inner Sleeves - http://amzn.to/28MXUil
PROS: Just like the Ultimate sleeves above, except they don't have paper backing on both sides- just one.  To me, one is all you need.  These are $5-10 cheaper than the Ultimates too.  I like handling these more too.  These used to be my favorite inner sleeve for a few years- especially when there was that period of time that the Mobile Fidelity sleeves (reviewed next) had a weird white powder in them (which has since been corrected).
CONS:  Less thick than the Ultimates.  
 
Mobile Fidelity Inner Sleeves - http://amzn.to/28MZoJo
PROS:  These can be found for cheaper than the above two sleeves (you can get 100 for under $50).  I bought 200 a few weeks ago and I don't have to worry about buying inner sleeves again for a long time.  I like their look and feel.  They have a great reputation and are used by "professionals" who archive records (if you care at all about that).
CONS: They are a little thinner than the Diskeeper Audiophile sleeves and it's easier for their corners to bunch when placing them back into the jacket/outer sleeve.  If you get an old pack, there is a chance that there could be that weird white powder.
 
I hope that helps!

$43 sounds about right for original cost + shipping + PayPal fees.  Some stores were selling it for $29.99 but my local shop was at $34.99 + tax.

Many of the prices have been raised considerably since their last 30% sale.

In Rainbows was on every media outlet for its release model and TKOL had thousands of dudes launching conspiracy theories about a sequel album.  The last few weeks since its dropped have been pretty quiet compared to how I remember the IR and KOL days.

If anyone here gets a black copy instead of the white, I'll change my Facebook pic to a white ribbon in your honor.

Every sleeve company or model will have a different clarity, thickness, and feel.  Some people prefer the really slick harder sleeves, some like the less slippery sleeves, some like thick sleeves, some like thinner.  There is not necessarily a best outside of picking a brand with good quality control and consistent sizing/cuts.

I'm actually glad that you were able to get extra copies for the board.  The only reason I asked was because if you thought you were going to buy another copy I'd rather trade you for two Burn the Witch 7"s so I can do that raffle.  But if you don't plan on buying a 4th copy or if you would just rather not trade with me, that's OK.  For real.  I don't mind.

Actually I was asking because if there's another person who has a copy to trade then I might be able to pick up your copy and theirs and I wanted to raffle the extra one.  If you come across a fifth or sixth copy though, would you be willing to trade?

Did anyone find a fourth or fifth copy of the Burn the Witch 7" yesterday or today that they'd be willing to trade?

And let's hope they don't come back from the dead with 300 records and two Crosleys that are forever advertised as on sale.

Out of respect to the victims families, let's not discuss anything that would make guns rights activists confront the cognitive dissonance of maintaining a faux concern about the victims families while advocating against change that would address these mass shootings.  Thoughts and prayers.

The only guarantee you have from eBay/PayPal's buyer protection is to receive a refund after returning the item.  If you want a partial refund, you'll have to go outside of the built in buyer protection and use your negative feedback as leverage for extracting money back from the seller- a tactic that gives me pause and I'd probably feel uncomfortable doing if I were the buyer in this situation.  That said, you should do what you feel comfortable with.
What was their packaging like?

Yeah, there's no way they can adjust the price.  They have a reputation to uphold.
