I got in on the $100 Gc for $40 in November, ordered three records in two orders and received one. I guess I'm basically even for what I paid but that sucks. 

I've been waiting on an order from them since November. Guessing I'm shit outta luck.

How has this man lost so many themes?

Hot Topic variant is up. "We're so back" as the kids say: https://www.hottopic.com/product/knocked-loose-you-wont-go-before-youre-supposed-to-black-ice-with-white-splatter-vinyl-lp/32232943.html?fbclid=IwAR27qtLHncAXuTTI_bvq2M4ckgF8WkfeTqtNWyofBeiIKwqN9_WtqNJSzVs

When did Hot Topic get back in the vinyl game???
 
I think I'm holding out until I can hear this whole album before I commit.  Dug that 1st track, but those guest appearances have me concerned on the direction this could take.  And let's face it, there's no shortage of options to pick this up.

I know it isn't super realistic but I remain optimistic that they will press Three Dollar Billz Y'all. There's an obvious color scheme, and I think it's only been officially pressed that one time. It's due.

This is bullshit. Who do I contact about this?

So my /250 shipped from Los Angeles. It went from there to San Francisco and is now in Oakland. I live in Phoenix. 
 
I have a theory that the kings road warehouse was built on an ancient Indian burial ground. An old ancient curse is really the only thing I can think of that makes every experience with them terrible. 

I sold my Folklore variant on Discogs for like $190 a couple weeks ago and just got the Target version for $25.  

I’m a hardliner Swiftie and gotta be honest…I’m fuckin’ Swift’d out.   She’s non-stop everywhere & overwhelmingly flooding the scene. It’s like, girl, take a break, go away for a spell, let your fans breathe & miss you for a bit.   As a college friend’s grandma used to say: “Too much is too much…”

I just joined interscope Vinyl collective subscription in Jan. January’s record for the interscope vinyl collective.
product is Juice WRLD - "Goodbye & Good Riddance" IVC Edition. I received a copy of the Used's In Love & Death! Is this normal? Is it supposed to be a Used vinyl? $48. 38 a month is a lot for a Used record.  I’m hoping they made a mistake.. The limited edition factor is what attracted me to this service. If I knew it was the Used I would not have joined. 

Actually, the used vinyl is WHY it's such an expensive subscription. Each vinyl sold is hand used to rub-down the vinyl factory workers. This makes it more personalized experience for the user and worker. I personally find it very special and the only downside is that my record sometimes skips with some of the dirt and debris. 
The good new is you can cancel anytime, so don't feel bad if you're not committed 👼

this reads like a Panic! At the Disco verse

They should have called me,  I got a guy. 

Welp guess I'm back on board for one more ride
 
I assume I need to wait until February to resubscribe. I dont want any juice wrld

Re-records are probably a thing because of bands being locked into shitty deals with record labels that have no interest in releasing a quality version of their album. Re-recording puts the bands back in control of certain albums in their catalog. 

Kind of a bummer considering I thought this could mean a new album.  Maybe it’s just a first step.  

Alright quick Google search shows that apparently this was done on purpose.  Kind of makes sense.  I noticed it flowed pretty nicely in the new order.  Just kind of took my by surprise is all.

I know you’ve all been dying to hear my 2 cents so here it goes…

I’ve curbed on buying a lot of new releases and focused on grabbing 1st presses of my favorite records.  Early rev stuff, first presses of some equal vision releases.  I feel like I kinda hit the wall with new music and not many new hardcore bands do it for me.  But I’ll find out about some old band and go after that collection like most recently Unwound and codeine, which thanks to numero isn’t too hard!
 
The price of records hasn’t really dissuaded me from buying infact it’s encouraged me.  I’m an independent contractor and we have a record player at work so I write off all my record purchases.  I understand this is 100% not ok, but I don’t give a shit.  And if anyone on here works for the IRS I’m just kidding.  

2023 was the year I realized I was buying records just for the sake of buying records. Blind purchases of new albums from bands that released one great album in their career. Band released a new album I really like? Go buy their entire back catalog. Just really dumb purchases overall of albums I may listen to once and never touch again.
I looked at my collection and thought to myself, "There's probably only a couple hundred records here that I would realistically ever sit down with and critically listen to." So unless I am able to listen to the full album first, and can envision myself ever taking the time to sit down and put the record on and critically listen to it, I don't purchase anymore.
Additionally, I realized my music tastes have vastly changed. I've been going through my collection and re-listening to everything to determine what is really worth keeping. So I've also begun selling records as well.
Pretty much just echoing the sentiments of many others that posted in this thread already.

I the year 2023 just quit bying records completely. The prices were just too much + all the super limited variants just started to get annoying.
 
Sometimes I'm sad about it, but mostly I'm happy that I have more money to spend for other hobbies and life in general. I will continue to support bands I like via bandcamp and going to the shows.

You're all insane
