Hey all,

I'm looking for Brand New merchandise - posters, shirts (XL+), rare pressings, stickers, buttons, a half-full spittoon left on the side of the road somewhat near their tour bus, etc. Lemme know what you got.

It does not cost $80 to ship a 5oz package anywhere in the world (well, maybe remote region of Alaska or Antarctica). Sounds like the seller is upset at the selling price.

$80 to ship a 7" from abroad is about $60 too much. Don't pay that bill

HOLY FUCK.

Royal Mail is an option from Jersey... maybe poke around on their site to get a quote and counter offer him with what it tells you it should be.

Edit: a quick try gives me £12.40 as the cheapest option for a small parcel via Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed. It didn't ask where I was shipping from - so I assume they don't have any particular surcharges from more remote places within the UK.

The seller finally got back to me this morning. They were trying to go with Royal Mail's version of Priority which was £60, but the cheap standard option he found was £5 and he didn't charge for shipping at all since he took so long to get back with a price. So I got a sealed copy of Jesus for ~$26 shipped! No complaints

Success! I get things shipped from the UK to Canada all the time - shouldn't cost more than $15. Likely less since you're paying in USD... I'm used to CAD.

 

Edit: Found the auction - seller is on Jersey in the Channel Islands: fascinating! Update us (or mostly me) with the shipping cost. I would assume mailing out from a somewhat secluded island like that might be more expensive than normal.

The seller just finally came back with an offer of about $100, which is nearly $80 shipping. I may push back a bit, as that seems a little off. Maybe it just genuinely is that expensive to ship something from the Channel Islands, though.

You just missed out, I won Jesus on eBay a few weeks ago for $49, I was the one and only bidder. If you're patient another one will come up.  

 

I've slowly been collecting BN vinyl too, started in 2009, not trying to grab every variant, but within the past year I've found every 7" for at least half the normal selling price. Be diligent and check eBay and discogs frequently and you'll likely find the same. Except Jude Law... No one seems interested in actually selling thier copy, just listing it for 90% more that it'll actually sell for. 

Yeah, I actually just won an auction for the Jesus 7" from Ebay UK for about $20. I'm waiting for the seller to send an updated invoice for shipping to the states, so hopefully that goes through and doesn't cost too much. The only 7"s I'm missing now are Jude Law and the green Quiet Things. Hopefully I'll find somebody who's willing to sell the Jude Law for a reasonable price someday.

Hey all,

It seems that there aren't any eBay or Discogs listings for the Jesus 7" picture disc, but I'm really interested in grabbing a copy. The Discogs median is $100, so I'm looking in that price range (or cheaper if possible), but am willing to haggle a bit. Shipping would be to the US.

I'd also be interested in other Brand New 7" singles or rare variants, as I'm working on starting a collection. Comment/PM if you have any interesting offers. Thanks!

Son of a bitch.....I was finally going to bite the bullet this week! 

 

I was going to grab it this week too. Finally financially recuperating from my move last month. I hope they held a few back for QA purposes (in case of returns, etc.) that go up in the future. I'd kill for copies of Cities and NTFP.
