Weren't those expensive RATM tickets going to charity? I know in Detroit they were. Billy would surely just pocket it all.

At the Detroit show they actually decided to close off the upper deck completely and upgrade all of those ticket holders to better seats when they got to the venue. The place was half full. They are playing the same place this tour.

I'm 100% with you. I am buying way less new records and represses than ever. I have been focusing on older higher priced records that I just never got around to buying. But i do still appreciate the labels that keep their prices between $20-$30 and will keep buying what I can from them. But back on topic, albums like SD and MC just never should have went OOP. There was always a market for them and nobody should have to pay $200+ for them (especially for a repress).

I believe that the clear was advertised to some pj Spotify fans and that linked directly to PJs shop. Santos never advertised the clear to 10 club members that I saw. I couldn't double dip for a $55 single lp since I already have the alternate cover one.

Sun's Signature, Elizabeth Fraser's new ep is all I care about. And 8k of them is plenty thankfully.

Not sure I'd say that the label itself is garbage, but the quality of their vinyl releases certainly is. They introduced me to a ton of bands in the 90s so I thank them for that. But they really should have just stuck to cds and online streaming.

My brother was at the show and said they told him they had 100 of the framed version for sale. He said there was a good stack of the regular ones available still when he left. Pretty cool poster but maybe $50 was a bit much for your average non collector.

In my experience PayPal sides with the buyer like 99.9% of the time if you filed a "item not as described" case. But if you filed a "item not received" case I could see them going with the seller since there is tracking. Either way call them and see what is up. PayPal will do whatever your credit card decides if you end up having to go that route. It may take a while, but you'll get your money back.

I'm confused on the "cost of goods" part of this. I've seen numerous places act like you only pay tax on profits. But is that really only true if you file as a business? It seems crazy that if you bought something for $100 and then sold it for $200 that you'd pay the 28% tax on the entire $200 and on the tax/shipping costs. Ebay's 1099-K FAQ page still says this: "No need to worry— you only pay taxes on profits. You won’t owe any taxes on something you sell for less than what you paid for it. For example, if you bought a bike for $1,000 last year and then sold it on eBay today for $700, that $700 you made would generally not be subject to income tax." I'm also finding different tax advice online for what is considered a "hobby" sale vs just selling random things at garage sales or on Ebay. Those are somehow different? This all appears to be way more confusing that initially advertised, and seems like there will be a giant mess next year at tax time. Which is why I mostly stopped selling.

Sadly this whole thing has actually made me stop buying a lot of records that I would have previously bought. So I am no longer supporting my local record stores or favorite labels webshops anywhere near as much as I used to, which sucks. But ever since I had kids and actual bills to worry about I've pretty much had to sell records to buy records. As I really don't sell much anymore due to this so I'm now getting 1 record a month vs 5-10.

Agree with everything you are saying. That was just the first advertised "limited" item from a big band i could think of off the top of my head that just never sold out. I recall they sold like 20k of those in a couple days and then it just stayed around. The must have pressed an insane amount. When this gets released can we tell how many were sold from billboard or anywhere still?

They are selling it as a "Limited Edition" but I feel like that will be similar to NIN 's Fragile Deviations. They said that would be a limited 1x pressing and it is still available 5+ years later.

Not sure if the $80 for a 2LP or the $15 for media mail shipping makes me feel like more of a sucker for buying one.

About 850 regular and 500 autographed copies left right now. This one stings but had to get a non auto copy. Coincidentally just got tracking for my signed Japan LP finally.

Ha, was thinking the same thing, There are a few copies of this on ebay and discogs now but no sign of the autographed ones yet, so guessing we'll be waiting a bit longer.

I'll have to suck it up and buy this one for sure as i never thought we'd get anything this early from them. A normal cheaper black pressing would be great but who knows how long that will take or if it'll ever happen. Sounds like this is "volume 1" so there may be a series of these coming.

You talk to your post office yet? They may have gps coordinates of the delivery scans. They found a missing package of mine down the street once as they knew exactly which house they delivered it to once I asked them.

Also saw that, and it's a fair price. They seem to keep gong in and out of stock at random online shops, and when they are out they go for much more on discogs. And that's not terribly far over retail so i say go for it.

$50 I think. Can't wait to get this

I ended up cancelling my order after the whole it was limited to 1k and now it isn't mess, but they still sent my copy which arrived a couple weeks ago. So no complaints from me. But it sure looks like a $30 record.

Supposedly due to z2's deal with Warner they can't press any more of the B sides lp. And that is all I really want since there will be some great songs in it. But hopefully Warner does their own standard pressing down the road.

@jhuludI've ordered a few pricey box sets from them for well under retail when they first came out and never had an issue. I think that was just their price for the first however many they sold.

Seems like all the online shops which use this shop/inventory system have it at $169.98 which i also what my local just told me it should cost: https://easystreetonline.com/UPC/194398687919 https://electricfetus.com/UPC/194398687919

Thanks, i'll bite at that price. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09T8F2ZQF/

Pretty sure that venues have their own fees tacked on for merch sold at shows, so it is possible the difference in price has to do with the % the particular venue is adding on to the price.
