I would only leave neutral or negative feedback if things weren't right in the end.  If they give me a refund with no trouble, especially if I get to keep the item and don't need to go through the hassle of shipping it back, then they deserve good feedback imo.

Bake, report it to eBay. It is completely unacceptable, they don't take these types of things lightly.

Brother, I don't think eBay covered the refund. "Seller was quick & helpful with refund. Thanks." Looks like it came out of the sellers pocket no? Judging from the story, the seller looks to have gotten screwed on this. You could always message the guy, in fact eBay double checks you and asks, "are you sure you want to leave negative or neutral feedback." At least give the guy a shot at making it up to you. This might sound trite but some people actually depend on those sales to put dinner on the table

Well then I can't really blame him for being irate. I understand your end on this but that is just completely fucked.
ronniethebear ( i mean ebay) will just continue to get worse for sellers.

Just had this demand from someone on Discogs:
 
 
I admit that the extra 'S' that this board may not let me show (I've replaced it with a Z) annoyed me straight away, but I found this pretty rude. Also, has anyone else had someone insist on the seller using a generic sleeve in case the bespoke one gets damaged? I don't have any spare, so he's not getting his wish. The extra cardboard will mean the shipping price goes up.
 
And what the hell's 'in-printing'?

First off, this is obviously not a serious thread. 
 
Musically these two genres have nothing in common besides an undying sense of nostalgia for music that flat out doesn't stand up to what is being put out these days. It had its time and place and that time is not here and that place is not now. Butt rock threads are started by some dweeb with 20 posts that has never heard of discogs and asks if so and so album has been released. Which it hasn't. So it got put in the vinyl forum despite having nothing to do with vinyl. The lost boys are also started by a person with 20 posts that randomly listened to some song they hadn't heard in five years and starts a thread saying how this album NEEDS to get pressed. A couple sorry saps respond saying oh yeah I would kill to have that pressed. I would press it myself, but I don't have the money. So it comes down to that thread having nothing to do about vinyl. Now there are two threads that have nothing to do with this message board. There is even a thread about albums I wished were pressed. Just use that one instead of expressing your pipe dreams in there own thread.
 
This place is called vinyl collective. Not music collective. If an album isn't pressed on vinyl does it need to be discussed at length. 
 
As for the recent string of 5/10/15 year anniversary tours to 250 cap venues with a first time on vinyl pressing of 500 the question you should be asking is why would I want that? These bands are dead, they do nothing to benefit the music community. The labels that put these out are only trying to make money. If they cared about the music at all they would be throwing their money into supporting artists that are currently active and putting out music and playing shows. If you buy an album from a band that is broken up the band and the label will make the money and then it stops there. If you support current bands they can use that money to record a new album, tour more, put out music videos...things that will help them grow. 
 
Nostalgia is for suckers and it hurts those bands that are currently trying to make it. If you would have gone and seen that band that put out a record 5 years ago and bought their cd when it came out and made threads about them maybe they wouldn't have fizzled out so fast. obviously one person isn't going to make a break a band but when a whole site focuses on the past it doesn't support what is really going on. 
 
 

So into the love for Live! Love that band.
 
 
Also, I'd like to make a motion to have The Maine removed from this thread. They're the only ones in that Lost Boys list who are still making music regularly and have also progressed SO much in the years since Can't Stop Won't Stop. They're almost a completely different band and have certainly matured with their audience while also captivating new listeners who weren't into their pre-Pioneer discography.
 

Lots of bad advice in this thread.
 
Just burn your bandmates a couple cds.

Hummingbird of Death and Transient just released a 3" split on green vinyl. Here's from HOD page:
 
It is a 3" green vinyl. That's right, 3 inches in diameter. And green. Each band delivers a 30-second blast of grind. And of course, since many people have not the capacity to play such a small record, each copy comes with a download code. Many thanks to Mullet Death Records for making this release exist in the physical realm. Obviously you can order from Mullet Death, or hit up either band.

There may be a few people interested in this.

Gimmick records are such a waste. And most turntables won't even be able to play this. Not like it's worth setting up a record for 30 seconds of playback. Dumb.

I just picked up a few. Really enjoy it!

^ this is how every post should read in a Reliant K thread.

Polyamory. It's fun if you can share. My ex-wife didn't do that very well.

I finally feel confident that I won't have to move everything within a month or two to show it off. All my LPs and 12"s are in both the expedit and the record case with the glass door. Small record stand is housing my Against Me!, Fake Problems, Jimmy Eat World, Manic Street Preachers, Taking Back Sunday, and Thursday 12" records.
This is also right after rearranging everything so that my girlfriend and her husband's records are in with mine. Apparently she and I are serious: We did the whole record merger thing.
 
I play my stuff on an old direct drive Technics SL-D3 turntable that i somehow lost the dust cover for. It's okay, I have the glass lid on the record stand. It's run through a Behringer PP400 Ultra-Compact Phono Preamp, and into a Samsung home Theater Soundbar that works only as a speaker, and not as anything that plays discs like it's supposed to, so it works out for me. This has a wireless subwoofer, and oh, is it niiiiiice.
 
But yeah, I've been wanting to post this for a long time, but hey, now I'm here!
 
And yes. That's a lot of gaming books on the bottom there. Not mine, though I'm a little envious.

New batch from Tranquility Tapes...

Quicksails - Spillage c34 
TQ72: Edition of 100 



A monster percussionist for the furious jazz trio Tiger Hatchery, Chicago's Ben Billington has built an impressive catalog over the past few years as Quicksails by bringing his chops to the solo synthesizer game. Those familiar with the project's kaleidoscopic swirl of synths and hand percussion will find plenty to love on Spillage. With remarkable ability to juggle so many different elements in each composition, what might sound like a mess in less capable hands flows gloriously with Billington at the helm. There are moments of surprise here as well, with certain tracks showing a much more restrained palate than usual and introducing piano as well as vocals by Emme Williams into the mix. Altogether this an extended half hour of beautiful chaos you'll want to pour over you again and again. Pro-dubbed and imprinted chrome cassettes, featuring designs by Caroline Teagle. Comes with a free digital download.
 
 
 
Witchbeam - Shadow Musick Vol. 2 c30 
TQ71: Edition of 100 



At long last, we're thrilled to share the second volume of Witchbeam'sShadow Musick series. Fans of the first volume will find plenty to love here as Witchbeam explores new realms of dark noise and even ventures into some unanticipated genres along the way. Vol. 2 features an especially potent blend of minimal synth exercises, eerily melodic drones, and pummeling rhythms. The tape is filled to the brim with mysterious sounds that will creep down your spine and disorient you with their delightful use of the stereo field. Shutter the windows, light some candles, pour a glass of your favorite spirits, and let yourself be intoxicated by the sounds of the shadows. Pro-dubbed and imprinted chrome cassettes, featuring designs by Caroline Teagle. Comes with a free digital download.
 
 
 
OLD SVRFERS - Ain't Scared of Shaka c41 
TQ70: Edition of 100 



OLD SVRFERS is the years-in-the-making collaborative brainchild of Josh Mason and Brad Rose (Charlatan, Altar Eagle). While elements of each musician's signature sound are evident across Ain't Scared of Shaka – such as Mason's fragile nostalgia or Rose's burly synth squall – OLD SVRFERS is its own beast altogether. There's a lot of playful contradiction throughout, with wistful melodies sampled from days gone by dipping right into rhythmic, clanging industrial vibes. At once confounding, familiar, visceral, and relaxing, Mason and Rose have combined their sonic powers to create an unexpected and entirely compelling journey that shreds from start to finish. The boards are waxed. The waves are crashing. SVRF'S VP. Pro-dubbed and imprinted chrome cassettes, featuring designs by Caroline Teagle. Comes with a free digital download.

Get your own jokes, man.

Then why bother playing more songs about dicks & farts when you are over 40 years old?  Mark & Travis HAVE to play these songs so bad they can't sleep at night?  So much that they rather replace the 3rd member of the band than to sit back and collect all of these royalties you speak of?
 
I call bullshit.

I want to give this band $100 buy I can't decide if I want the super limited edition vinyl or if I want the framed hand written lyrics to proudly display.

Replace Tom with Derrick from Sum-41, nobody will know the difference.
Honestly, I don't find this very tragic. They were phoning it in with Neighborhoods and DED EP, that made it clear. I just find it hard to take anything Tom says seriously, especially when he tries to be all artsy-fartsy with his statement. He doesn't have time for this band, his prerogative. Seems like them shoving contracts in his face was the only way to get him to do shit for the band. I say good riddance and wouldn't find it at all weird if they carried on without him as Blink 182, he artistically quit the band 10 years ago.

Blink 182 was ok. Fun music during my high school years. The S/T album was good and kinda got away from their traditional sound. The EP was bad. AVA is horrible, +44 was ok, and boxcar racer have a song or two at most. So unless your a 14 yr old girl...who cares. They haven't done anything worthwhile in over a decade.

No MITB/Capitalist Casualties split? What sort of Six Weeks vinyl collection is this?

What are "Things i cared about 10 years ago"
