I know there's been a lot of threads about this, but I thought I'd separate this from the huge one so it wouldn't get lost. Var said if you are in the USA, you may send $30 (shipping included) to: [email protected] Make sure to include a note that you want the HWM Tour record so they know what you're buying.

Nah.... I've only ever seen one copy with the sticker and I think it went for $200. I used to have it without the sticker. I've since sold it since I have the songs on cd.

The pressing plant wouldn't let them print the cover as they originally wanted it, so they issued some copies with a 12" sticker of the original cover "art". The ones with the sticker are pretty rare.

Because people are looking for them on eBay and paying $400 there... not the website.

PS - I don't think a record that was pressed this year of 1000 copies is "rare" at all.

My thought is, the numbered one is still going to be rare. The unnumbered one will actually be MORE rare. Weird.

Good idea, POOR execution. Paypal costs are 3%, eBay is maybe 5% at the most. That's less than 2 bucks a record. Shipping media mail will be less than $5. Why not charge $30 a record and $7 shipping and not make it seem totally shady? Var is being greedy, too. It just kinda sucks.

Yeah, based on eBay searching, it seems to be a pretty decent deal.

I don't know if some of you guys are idealistic or just naive. If someone wants to buy a HWM lp for $400, you'd be stupid not to sell it. I'm sure that No Idea is going to have to have an unlimited repress of this anyway. "Wah! The fans should get copies first". You're telling me the guy paying $400 for this isn't a fan? I've listened to HWM since they started and I'm not paying $400 for anything of theirs. This dude is a way bigger fan than me. Do I deserve a copy of fairly rare record at a low price? NO! I'm a fan of BMW's... they don't owe me one because of that. Why be mad at the seller? He's only making it available to those people who aren't lucky enough to live in the select cities it's being offered. The people bidding are dictating the price. These tour press records are engineered to go for insane amounts of money. If you don't like that fact, don't want them. If you unsubscribe yourself from the collector mentality you won't be bothered by this.

That's a DJ turntable... not necessarily what you want to buy for home listening. If you want to scratch and shit, get that and another one and a better mixer. If you want something to listen to in your living room, keep looking.

It depends on the band. If by repress you mean a 300 copy bootleg of an obscure punk record from 1981, then I think it tends to create or keep people interested in that record and often makes a record worth more money. If you're talking about represses like Robotic Empire keeping all the Isis stiff in constant print, then no, that hurts.

Muddle... haha... Let me know if you still have that record. I think it's the last one I need to complete my collection.

TAKE IT! Lesson learned. If someone says in their auction "this record is mint and mint doesn't mean not played" it means it's fucked.

Eh I think its pretty stand up to do that as 2 copies isn't neccesary well that and I want one I understand the point of them doing it, however, they should have had a "one per customer" limit to begin with. It sucks that they're changing the "rules" after the fact.

Might as well make that number 1 of 1000. Why start at 12. You're just underselling yourself! On an unrelated "Wow... where's my fucking money" note. 8 years ago I sent $40 to Pushead to join the Phase San (or 3) of his "fan club" which was supposed to include 4 or 8 records (I can't remember anymore) as well as bonus stuff. I never received a single record from it. I've mailed Pushead many times over the years to find out what's going on with it and he just says "it's on hiatus", which near as I can tell means "I stole your money". I guess I have a bunch of page long hand written letters from Pushead, which in 50 years may be worth a mint. But right now I'm out $40!

This is clearly not the full pressing info since it was in print into the late 90's.

When I was record crazy about 10 years ago, I saw a copy of Samhain "Initium" in a bin at a record show. It said "colored vinyl" on the sleeve, so I pulled it out and thought "This guy is nuts... it's on black vinyl"... then as I looked at it I noticed little white streaks in the vinyl. I thought about paying the $35 he was asking for a few minutes before deciding that I already had it on cd. When I got home on jumped on Misfits Central to see how rare it was. This is what I found : 15 black vinyl copies with white streaks. 15 copies! So I drove back to buy it and it was gone. I've seen it sell on eBay for over $1k. I also passed up the Sunny Day Real Estate 7" on Bacteria Sour that was limited to 333 copies for $5 because I didn't know if I liked them. I haven't seen it go for less that $100 very often.

None of these bands were remotely mainstream, and some started pre-90's and/or still exist(ed) post-90's, but their heyday was in the 90's. Samiam New Sweet Breath Tugboat Annie Superchunk Garden Variety

Kinda bullshit to retroactively change the limit. What ever happened to "first come, first served"?

I have this. What do you have to trade?

I wonder if they got a return from a distributor or something?

I agree with ericxthexred. Every color of every HWM, ISIS, or Against Me record probably hits eBay at least once a year. There are records that I'm looking for that aren't necessarily worth a ton of money that you NEVER find for sale, eBay or otherwise. The Misfits is impossible to collect considering the acetates and mega-rare Glenn's friends only sorta colors.

I have the SR522 7" on 12 Step records.

Is this ever shipping?!?! haha...
