  1. I'm pretty burnt out on sellers who religiously use shill bidding. Shit's weak and should be illegal.

    how common do you think it is? So sellers are bidding on their items using someone else's account to jack up the price. They could get burned if they don't get a higher bid and have to eat the fees. I wonder if ebay checks to see if there is constantly the same bidder on someone's auctions. I guess a sure sign would be someone always putting up items that have "sold" before. I have been not paid before and re-listed, but that was only once.

    why people got to be jerks?

  2. luckily i've never been burned like this as a seller, but i've gotten burned a number of times as a buyer where the person selling refuses to send out the item i've won because it didn't sell for as much as they were expecting/wanting. it sucks, but what can you do? they always refunded my money, so it's not the end of the world.

    that blows. I have never had anyone not send a record because it went too low for them, but have been worried a few times because i picked up something real cheap for whatever reason (bad listing, bad luck, etc.). That's the inherent risk of putting something up for auction - something you accept when you list it. If you want a guaranteed minimum then set a higher initial price or reserve. People win and lose everyday and sometimes you just got to eat the sh*t sandwich. Doesn't ebay frown on such practices?

    That said, its better you got a refund rather then "...it must be lost in the mail."

  3. I have been fairly lucky with the limited number of stuff i have unloaded. However, i had the Rain on the Parade Body Bag E.P. (clear of 100) go with only one bid (~5.00). It has sold for north of 50 beans in prior auctions. Luckily, it balanced out with the 1st snapcase 7" (clear blue of 51) that went for nearly a c-note. i guess some people really like snapcase. weird.

  4. yes, agreed. i think fortuna spun me wrong. I am definitely wary of ordering shirts and records again, particularly at the height of summer.

    on a semi-related note, i have never had a problem with the shrinking shrink wrap. I have some records still sealed and many with the shrink still on them. The only exception is a german yuppicide bootleg that shrinky-dinked in my 3rd floor heat. Luckily, the record was not in the sleeve.

  5. i was wondering if anyone else has received warped records when shipped with t-shirts or other items in the same package. I have never had a problem with records warping during shipping, but recently i received two separate shipments that included new records that warped and t-shirts from different labels (no idea and rev).

    One had a 6" and a shirt - the vinyl looked like a salad bowl. The other had an LP, 7" and two shirts. The LP looked like a constipated grimace as it spun, but the 7" was only slightly warped. They were both tightly packed in record mailers, 7" and LP boxes respectively.

    I know records will warp if there is unequal heating/cooling so maybe the shirts trapped heat against one side of the record. Plus, it also August and they were shipped from CA and FL to MD.

    Anyone else notice this phenomena?

  6. bought this on a whim last night.

    No Idea records are cheap. Can someone recommend me some albums to check out?

    Hot Water Music for sure! Fuel for the Hate Game was a game changer, a watershed moment in hardcore history. Every successive album is a bit different, but still awesome. If you want a good variety of material, i would check out "never ender."

    Also, Small Brown Bike, particularly dead reckoning and ou own wars. hands down awesome. the bike and HWM got me through the late 90s

  7. reserve has been met on the NOFX record. Bidding is wide open...

    other records include.

    Rain on the Parade - Body Bag e.p - clear (100 pressed)

    strike anywhere - chorus of one 12" - gray wax (1st press of 550)

    Screeching weasel / Pink Lincolns split 7"

    Screeching weasel - radioblast 7" - burgundy wax

    Youth Brigade - Happy Hour Tour Shirt (1994)

    Voodoo Glow Skulls - Who is, this is LP

  8. I have a copy of "something to write home about" on clear orange (with a little black smudging). I thought i bought it when it first came out (directly from doghouse) and assumed it was from the 1st press. Maybe not. If it was repressed it wasn't too long after it was originally released based on where i was living at the time.

  9. Thanks for the tip

  10. Who knew?

    Oh yeah..... everyone.

    except me i suppose.

    i guess they're still around. I dug white trash when it came out and the longest line ep is pretty good. but after that... I saw them last on the punk and drublic tour. not too bad i guess. That was one of the last City Gardens shows in Trenton, NJ. Sad times. Back in the day John Stewart used to work there.

    The last decade belonged to HWM, Murder by Death, Milemarker and little else.

  11. crazy prices for NOFX vinyl. really? who knew.

    I have a copy of the longest line on purple that i bought when it came out. Apparently, it is one of the priciest records i own. Way more than the turning point lp on clear. kooky. All that being said, i would like start today on purple, the jade tree lifetime lps on color, and 1st Crucial Youth 7" on Yellow. let's make this happen.
