One of my favorite VC threads is about Train.

Not purchasing.

You sure about that? My HHV package arrived. Beat to Hell, but arrived. 😄

Which courier?

Google translate says "available within one week (if available from the supplier)". Has it said that the whole time? Could that mean backordered?

If I've learned anything reading the VGM community, it's that you're nothing if you only bought one copy of this.

Someone apparently got a print that was signed by Conor instead of Phoebe.

My UO copies of Dedicated Side B got delivered. And never did get any email from UO saying it was shipped. 

Interesting.  I'm still waiting on mine.  They did an authorization charge last week, but it never posted.  I thought maybe these were delayed. 

Two months extra for foil stamped numbers. 

The state looks down on the TV.

Now give me Fergie's The Dutchess on a gold and red record and I can die a happy man. Oh and I'll take any Justin album on colored wax too.

 

EDIT: WHY IS THIS SOLD OUT ALREADY GOD DAMMIT.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that not all 3000 were listed, based on many past experiences with UO. I think you'll be able to get it. If not it'll be b-a-n-a-n-a-s.

Wow.

That kid's actually in a punk band now, name escapes me

For a while he was playing guitar in The Ataris.

Supply and demand, halted production causing shortages. People are having a hard time finding things they actually need because they're simply not being produced. Transportation companies lose business because they don't have any products to move.

How does that pertain to the USPS? The USPS has had financial issues for years leading up to the pandemic. Even with millions of letters and packages (even ones with the proper rate being paid) being mailed each year.

People have found themselves in trouble for using plastic bins that are the property of the USPS. Repeatedly being dishonest about package classification and bragging about it online could definitely land you in hot water. 

That was a legitimate question. I'd love to hear where you saw that transportation is the thing that's doing the USPS in.

And for clarification, businesses that can't function because of a lack of product or failure to deliver + stay lucrative has everything to do with transportation. I don't know if you know this or not, but the products sold at your local grocery store aren't made in the back of the store lol

What possible source could you have for this in regard to the USPS? There are a number of things burdening the USPS before logistics come in to play.  (Pensions, etc)

You know mail fraud is a federal offense, right? The irony of you having no problem joking about committing it is not lost on me, considering you have a history of wielding of moderator status on a message board,

Idk man. That definitely wasn’t the case with me back in January. I called eBay 3-4 times spending a collected few hours talking with different reps and their managers trying to plead my case. I wasn’t getting anywhere. It was infuriating because the buyer was making wild accusations that were completely untrue and ruining my otherwise perfect feedback. eBay just kept circling back to that’s the buyers opinion of the sale and there nothing they can do to remove it because the feedback didn’t break any policies they have towards things you aren’t allowed to say (racism, vulgarity, etc).

It worked for me two days ago. eBay has a page on seller protection during the pandemic, and it highlights shipping delays. I'm not sure how easy it is to beat an INAD/counterfeit claim, but if it's feedback based on shipping it's pretty easy.

As far as getting the feedback removed, unless you can convince the buyer to reverse it, you’re fucked. eBay honors the buyers opinion  regardless of how idiotic it actually is. 
 

Not the case. Sellers can appeal feedback now, and you can put that it was an extenuating circumstance. eBay will remove it if you say that it was in transit longer because of a pandemic, but you still shipped it within your handling time.

I had an item depart Jersey City on April 27th heading to Queens. Listed as "In Transit" since then. Still no other updates.  My buyer is really mad. 

I mailed a record from the Bronx to Queens on April 6. It's been bouncing around the country, going as far as Iowa before going through Jersey City twice. It still hasn't been delivered. If everyone there called out, that makes sense.

Remember when he said it would be out by the end of next year? 2007ish?

Those look pretty cool. If it looked like travel between the US and Europe would ever be a thing again, I'd get a European friend to proxy. 

Sure

As a starting point, what Fallon related prints do you have? I have some Fallon/Gaslight stuff.

I managed to miss this one a second time. I almost feel accomplished.

I love this album. Glad to be able to get it on wax.
