Against Me "White Crosses" Regular LP Preodrer
quitlylosngcntrl replied to aleon's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of an "exclusive" then...? -
why? so you can flip it? have you even looked at the records i have? you know how many of those i could flip? seriously, you're the worst kind of troll cause A) you're not the least bit funny and you're so uneducated you sound like a little boy trying to talk with the big kids. but then again, i'm not entirely sure why i'm even bothering to respond.

ha that 9k thing was such horse shit. he billed it like "the ultimate brand new collection" or something, i can't believe he seriously thought he'd sell that for that much. i hope that goes for under 500 so he loses money. he did have the jude law 7" in that set though i think, talk about something i wish i had.

man, i hope they don't look like that -
most of you just have a completely different view on buying records than me. and that's absolutely fine, but you are condeming me for it and that really is unneccessary. i joined this site cause i've lurked it for a while and it's good for release news, unfortunately i obviously joined at a bad time and people consider me a "fanboy" now. if any of you actually knew me like, unfortunate name drop, the people at absolutepunk do, you'll know i'm this band's harshest critic. i used to love them but at this point i pretty much think they have become lazy and uninspired. that being said, i love their first 3 records, and trying to get a copy of the first one on vinyl is in no way shape or form a crime. and i can't afford it, so by offering up something a lot of other people might want (as the devil and god is easily held as the better album) it was worth a shot. i'm dirt poor, i'm gonna have trouble affording a copy of this release with the blink and against me! releases coming up, so i considered flipping the gold. no big deal. even if i was a "flipper" it's really not a huge crime. but i don't personally like flippers and i think it's a lame practice. maybe "investment" wasn't the right term but it makes sense to me. hope i settled this issue for good. jesus.

The only reason anybody would care about "market saturation" or making an "investment" in records is someone holding onto the commodity long enough to sell it for it's highest fetching value. You obviously have a piss poor understanding of economics and an even worse appreciation for music as an art and as a product. You weren't "conned" into buying all those copies of the Triple Crown/band press. You were blinded by greed and by the potential of reselling for 500%+ of the original price, despite the known fact that RJ and Academy Fight Song was going to press this well before the band pressing came out. Sure, this might be a confusing record release, but this isn't a "piss poor way to release a record". As Travis said - why does everyone get all upset when a band presses a record that people like, with enough copies for a large amount of people to have? If you're looking to invest in something worthwhile, man up and gamble on gold (Note: not the piss colored excuse of a "tour press" for TDAGARIM). I'm normally not one to judge someone's method of collecting records or their collection itself, but your dis-appreciation for the product itself proves you're nothing more than someone looking to bank on the rarity or exclusiveness of it all. I don't argue against most flippers, because we all know they're going to persist. But you're a rare sort who feels entitled enough to complain and whine when you can't sell your precious investments to kids who missed out on the records thanks to your greed. Enjoy the trend and hype of "vinyl" while you can, as the market will eventually buckle under its own weight and the business dies down. Those that really care about producing music and those of us that care about listening to it will be the ones left in the end. I imagine you'll just move to the next hyped format when that time comes. This is probably the most I've ever written on this board. But you're an annoying, entitled fuck who deserved my wasted time. you are honestly so far off the mark man. i don't know if theres a way you could be more wrong abuot my intentions. first of all, i've been buying records, not "vinyl," for about 4 years now, well before the "hype" set in on them. my collection is a testament to that as to the release dates of some of the stuff i have. and you are still missing the point that i have never ever flipped a record in my life. buying something as an investment DOES NOT mean you are just trying to make money off of it. sometimes it's nice to have something becuase you know it's special. kinda like as a little kid in middle school when everybody wanted the fucking holographic charizard. did they want it cause it was the best card? ehh....they wanted it cause it was rare and it was a cool thing to have. i bought the gold copy becuase i had a chance to and it was a rare find. in my eyes, i bought it as an "investment" but not with the intentions to sell it. seriously, quit assuming so god damn much.

im calling bullshit on this. it reeks of it. never flipped a record in your life???? right now youre trying to flip a record you just bought for no more than $25 for damn near three tmes the cost. and summer???? its still spring genius. why buy it if you had no intention of keeping it? the fact that its your favorite album of all time, which is a big statement to make considering this album is less than 5 years old; is no excuse, reason or justification for buying a record just to flip. you basically screwed some kid out of one who truly wanted it. you could honestly not be more wrong if you took a shit on a piece of paper, took a picture of it, and said "here, look, this proves your argument as bullshit." go away. you just made a mockery of yourself. i decided against flipping it cause i'm happy i have it. screw you, you're wrong, quit jumping to conclusions. thank you, have a goo dnight.
