TWDY and The Unicorns gone, 1 day left!

Bump for an updated list. Just a few more days before I head back to school. Throw me an offer!

Frank Turner gone, two 12" mailers left!

Haha

TDAG and a couple more 7"s gone

Yeah for sure. Alright on another note, all Thrice items are pending. Just waiting for payment to clear

Thanks for the advice guys. I tried adjusting the prices, and I'm getting a lot more offers now. A few of these will be gone today

 

 

My only other bit of advice is to be careful with selling items that you personally paid a lot for.  For a number of reasons, really, but primarily because the value you placed on that purchase is probably going to differ vastly from what everyone else is willing to pay.  Especially if time has passed, and various factors have come into play.  [such as a repress, in the case of your Vheissu.]  I've purchased a handful of records "in my day" that have broken triple digits... but for me, personally, they hold such sentimental value that the cost was justified for my wallet.  And with that sentimental value comes the complete lack of desire to sell them.  But when and if the time came, and assuming I was really desperate for the funds, there's no way I'd expect to make a profit back on all of them.  Hell, I'd be lucky if I could break even on a few of them.  If you're seeking maximum profit, and trying to make back the surplus amount of money you spent on the record to begin with, you should probably just list in on eBay.  Either in an auction with a reserve, or as a bloated BIN if you've got the patience.  Someone will bite.  I understand that it's frustrating to lose money on a record that you have to sell... but it does happen.  But trying to rectify that price difference in communities like VC isn't the solution to seek.  Just food for thought.

 

Also, you're probably receiving flack from us 1K+ members because we've been around the block a few times, and see these types of threads constantly.  Brand new members looking to make big bucks, with zero reputation.  I hate to sound pretentious, but you almost have to earn the right to sell the big fish around here.  Few people are going to Paypal you hundreds of dollars with no background information on you.  Members who make a few sales and establish a persona on the boards - outside of just the sale threads - are much more likely to receive appealing offers than new-jacks who strut in with a bookmark folder full of Popsike links.

 

Alright man. I honestly really appreciate the advice. I don't see any harm in listing a few of these for the prices I've got up now but I definitely see your point on the sentimental part. I still prefer to see somebody post asking prices instead of saying "PM me offers". If these don't sell, I'll know that I'm asking too much and I'll move them over to ebay. I figure it's better for me to try and offer them up in a community of people who aren't just record flippers first and if I can't get my asking price, then I'll move on and try and make some money out of them.

 

Super long, really helpful post.

 

 

 

 

Dude, thank you. It's really intimidating when I'm trying to learn to sell records and I'm recommended popsike for price ranges by a bunch of people and after watching for months and finally posting prices, the first replies I receive are from dudes with thousands of posts basically telling me I'm an idiot. I'm honestly not trying to rip anyone off here, I'm a collector just like the rest of us. I've been doing this for two years now, and I've sold a few cheaper records but never anything worth much. I'm still learning. I've been offering up some pretty fair deals to guys wanting to buy more than one, and I'm also trying not to lose my money on a few of these. Like Vheissu for example. I bought it a year and a half ago for $100. I could accept that for it, even though it's pulling in $150 pretty regularly. I don't think it's unfair for me to list it for that. I'll go through and fix up the original post to make things a little more fair. Really appreciate the help man, I guess there are good dudes here after all.

You seem awfully defensive for someone with reasonable prices.

i don't think you'll have to worry about it

amen ry, amen.

JESUS CHRIST

What Ry said.

Shit, is that Thrice/Thursday split really going for anything over 2 dollars?  Id like to pick up Limbeck again as I sold it when I lost my job a few years ago, but mine was white and I let it go for 25 and never seen another one that color before.

I don't think anyone implied that they were. Pretty simple indeed.

Cool man.

i would love to take abedisi and the american football but i'd rather buy from someone in the states :/

If you don't like my prices, don't buy them. Seems pretty simple to me. These took a long time to collect.

i don't think you'll have to worry about it.

Money issues suck

Would be sweet to have that Julia single. I love that song. Friggin' Canada shipping, though.

It's free with any purchase!

The German Transatlanticism isn't "rarer". I had some trouble getting $35 for mine. $50 is standard price for the more sought after American Barsuk press.

Youre right man. Thanks for the help. I was hard pressed to find info on this, was misinformed when I first bought I t. I'll adjust the price accordingly.

PM me and offer for Vheissu. I've got the first press. I don't really wanna get rid of it, but I need cash.

Added TDAG and Transatlanticism

A few more gone. Lots of interest in that Limbeck album

Does the Limbeck album have the postcards?

Yeah, they're in the envelope

Bump

Bump

A couple more gone

Ending tonight!
