Agreed. Missed opportunity not including it, but then again the box sets themselves were probably already considered a great deal for just about any Anberlin fan.  
 
I'll take the opportunity to add that I would take a Vital reissue with the extra Devotion tracks included on it. Maaaaybe they'll do them live whenever they get around to performing that album?

EDIT: Seeing the Indie Variant (/400) in a few places now, safe to say you can probably hit up your local shop to preorder it. Daddy Kool in St. Pete has it listed and you can do local pick up with them.

Smartpunk and Bullmoose both have it online as well.

Hey Pure Noise, can we just nip it in the bud and get the least limited version with the screen printed/numbered/fold over cover NOW instead of in three weeks? Thanks.

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but See The Light and Sound The Alarm are two of my favorite releases of theirs.

07. Monkey Wrench Myself

Really should have been in the boxset IMO.

Asked Matt and he confirmed it's a new variant. It's being called Clear with "Heavy Halloween" orange and silver splatter. 3rd press, limited to 1000.

I'll say Anberlin's Lost Songs. I know it's a b-sides and random acoustic/demos comp, but I think it'd be a cool opportunity to do a 2xLP and update with more of the more recent b-sides. It didn't even get included with the boxsets.

399 incl. 51 test presses .. lol
PS: Most of the tests came from the private collection of Var Thelin from No Idea Records

That's awesome! I knew HWM had a ton of releases but didn't realize they were that high up there, including side projects. I'm not too far behind with Less Than Jake haha. Including comps and side projects, I'm up to 362 pieces total (+14 test presses).

Took a long time to finally track down Anberlin's Stranger Ways 7" for a not too insane price. That finally arrived today, and completed my Anberlin collection. All variants, and all comps (only two that I know of). This also includes the RSD versions of Cities and NTFP (left) and the 2012 reissues (right), which are pretty much identical. The only difference being the RSD versions have a slightly creamy look to the covers, while the reissues are a more pure white. Also included is the vinyl/CD hybrid thing with the I'd Like to Die B-Side on it.
 

The Juliana Theory
Understand This Is A Dream: Test 14/15, White/Blue A/B /100, Black Mightier Than Sword 20th Anniversary version /500
Emotion is Dead: 1st press Test /15, Grey Marble /1500, 2nd press Red/Gold and Blue/White

I used to have all the other variants too, but that's a young person's game.

Posted this recently on instagram, so figured it would be a good time to post it here. Been a while since I've posted any LTJ update photos. Here is the LTJ/Kemuri split" part of the collection. 25 variants (including test press) so far. Still missing about 12 variants that I know of. Also, 500th post!
 

Actually had someone buy a record via Buy It Now a couple months ago. I messaged them after the PayPal confirmation since it was late on a Friday to let them know it would go out on Monday, and they messaged back "Oh sorry, can you cancel it? My kid was playing with my phone." Pretty sure it was buyers remorse but still equally annoying.

This is the issue I see as well. I'd say 2/3-3/4 of all my sales end up being international. On eBay I couldn't care less if it's international since I sell with the Global Shipping Program. I don't deal with it at all, just have to ship it to whatever processing location for eBay and still pack all the records super nice regardless of it being international or domestic.
 
On Discogs, since there's nothing like that, I don't mind checking for quotes when someone asks, but I've rarely shipped to the same country twice, let alone with the same weight. A one size fits all cost is just a headache to refund after the fact, and hope that I put something high enough to cover any situation, which will likely dissuade buyers from purchasing to begin with. 🤷‍♂️ I'll probably just switch Discogs to domestic only and let Ebay handle anything international.

I can see this working well if you're US based, but unfortunately in Canada (and lots of other countries) shipping rates can vary wildly and change constantly.

A problem with setting a flat rate high enough to cover that variance is that puts you lower down in the list when sellers sort by Price: Lowest compared to others who have a properly set rate.

 
The problem is that it's only a half-step.  Every other place on the internet you enter your address and it figures out the shipping cost.  Discogs isn't doing this, instead making the sellers figure out the rates themselves.  It seems like the majority of people are just going with the flat rate option, which actually hurts the buyers since most will be paying more for shipping now.
 
If they had ACTUALLY implemented a solution instead of just forcing sellers to figure it out on their own this would be great.  Unfortunately it's just a step further AWAY from being able to compete with every other marketplace.

Need another repressing of Hello Rockview to go with that.

Looks like an announcement regarding the new album coming 10/1. Maybe preorders finally?
