TFP reacted to Derek™ in Finch - What It Is To Burn 2xLP Hot Topic exclusives
Are you for real?
I have ~2,500 posts in this community because I've been a part of it for over four years. Who the tits are you to stroll in here like one of the countless new-jacks to falsely predict my vinyl purchases? Are you dense, or just an idiot?
To be honest with you, a lot of my records "sit on [my] shelf". The majority do. In fact, I'd say that if it's not on my turntable or in an Itso cube, it's probably organized nicely into my Expedit. Do you have even an inkling of why I choose to organize them when I store them? It's for convenient access. A wild concept, no doubt, but let's face it: I listen to and enjoy my records. Being able to quickly grab them (off the shelf) and play them as their intended purpose is my thing. But I guess having five additional copies of the same exact press and variant - "just because" - is also cool.
You are correct. It is America, and it is a free country. Spend what you'd like on which records you'd like. And do what you want with them. I don't have a problem with that. Obviously I'm going to raise my brow if you choose to frame the jacket, use the vinyl as a coaster, and beat off into the sleeve. But hey; that's your call. That's your right as a "collector", I guess. But in a few weeks, an average record collector [who doesn't have a ridiculous, Godly post count of 2,500 on VC] will miss out on this album. And amidst the slew of copies being flipped on eBay, there will be a handful of copies gathering dust on the shelf of some twat who feels he's entitled to accumulate duplicates just to have. And that's wrong. Don't play the well... you snooze, you lose... card here. Fans of the band (who will be listening to the vinyl) will miss out on this because they have a life, and can't afford to hound VC for the latest repress information. I'd say they're far more entitled to a single copy of the album, than you are to five. Hoarding copies doesn't make you a collector with the freedom to buy what you'd like. It makes you an ignorant asshole.

Ladies and gentlemen! We have found our target market for record pricing strategies such as these!

TFP reacted to Derek™ in The Weeknd - Balloons Trilogy
Comparing one overpriced boxset to a handful of overpriced records is a terrible ground for reasoning.

TFP reacted to @@ron in PO: Evanescence - Fallen 2xLP (Now with 20th Anniversary Expanded Reissue)
well this has been fun for everyone. sorry my shitty thread cluttered the board. Maybe if they press The Open Door it'll come with a free bonus LP of Deja Entendu and then for sure be thread-worthy. For a second there i thought this board was to inform fellow collectors of available vinyl pressings. Guess I'll just shut up and listen.

TFP reacted to steventangent in so hot cash is back and its worse
Guys, every company needs to buckle down because of the economy. Remember how hot topic used to sell those giant fuckin' jnco pants that used like 35 square feet of material? Now they have to cut back and all you get is super skinny jeans for the same price. All I'm saying is, there have to be cutbacks somewhere.

TFP reacted to jhulud in PO: Evanescence - Fallen 2xLP (Now with 20th Anniversary Expanded Reissue)
I fail to understand why all of a sudden on almost every other thread about any given release there are people shitting on those who enjoy or want that particular records. Just because YOU don't like the particular band doesn't make them suck or the those who like said band any less "cool" or "hip" in your precious vinyl "hobby". Too many people are way overly invested and concerned about what other people like and listen to.
Who the fuck cares! Someone likes Evanescense or Linkin Park. Fine. That's their deal so let them and it be. Go listen to what you like and enjoy then. And wait until someone shits on YOU for liking that damn band.
It's like a fuckin' Fashion Music Police 'round here.

TFP reacted to mmhmm in FS: Anberlin Blink Sum 41 The Forecast John Mayer ADTR
Stop complaining. $35 and $18, respectively, is still a great price for those Blink records. OP has every right to change prices...it's not a crime to realize you set your prices lower than you wanted and to change them accordingly. -

This a Sell/Trade/Wants forum, mostly for vinyl yes, but other stuff can and has been listed. The initial post was for trades or cash. People sell video games, comics and even yesterday a signed Jerry Rice mini helmet. Just to inform you...

TFP reacted to ronniegwilliams in Nu-metal Appresh
When I was in high school I got free tickets to a bunch of shitty nu-metal shows so I could do reviews for my high school newspaper. I met the singer of Godsmack and kept comparing him being a wiccan to that movie Hocus Pocus, he was less than amused.
