what did you major in?

Industrial engineering. I have worked for General Motors as a production supervisor on an engine assembly line for the past 5 weeks.

I guess I was unclear in my original comment. I am not buying a house to fix up and flip. I want to buy a place to get out of my parent's basement. I'm just trying to get the most I can for my buck. My dad is a handyman who can help me fix something up, but I can't get into anything that is TOO big of a project.

But I am a new college grad who is looking to buy a house pretty soon. Every so often when I am talking to someone about buying houses they will say something like "My brother got a good hookup with a bank and bought 5 houses for $20,000 each that he sold for $100,000 each," or something like that.

Has anyone ever had an experience with buying a house for less than 50% of what an appraisal would say its worth, and if so how? Did you cut some super secret backroom deal or did you just have to look a little farther than the Yahoo! Real Estate page?

Anyone hear anything recently about the vinyl release of this? I know it was delayed for a while, but how long?

I'll be pissed if this goes for more than the $150 I got for mine...

I agree with Jon that I only like some of the songs. The screaming really turns me off, but otherwise they are awesome!

I missed the good band names thread but my cousin calls all the punk bands I see "Pitbulls on Crack"

I've refreshed the page like 3219347892 times already. I'm super excited.

What if Ben is messing with us and it doesn't go up until tomorrow?

I hope its not another "name these records" contest...

I've traded two and sold one. I am sick of looking through lists, so if you see something that isn't on my list and looks like something I would like, then shoot me an offer. Otherwise, the last one is for sale.

I have worked out one deal already and have offers waiting for everyone interested, I believe.

im down, get back to me

how was the show?

Pure awesomeness. It only could have been better if it were on a Saturday.

I have to get up for work in a couple hours so I am going to go to sleep. I'll look through lists and respond to messages tomorrow afternoon.

I saw Gaslight and the Loved Ones tonight and was able to pick up 4 copies of Build and Burn on Green that are now for trade. I also have an extra copy of Build and Burn on black that is for trade. I'm not looking to rip anybody off, but would like a little something for the effort. Post your list if you want to trade and I'll make you an offer.

I am mostly into stuff from Fat, No Idea, Lookout...

I'd love to get "My Brain Hurts." Check my tradelist and if nothing interests you send me a price.

25 test presses? What's the deal with that? I can't think of another record I've seen with more than 10.

This is still available.

There have been a bunch of posts about this record. I think it is in relatively high demand and goes for around $50, but others would know better than me.

I am somewhat certain Ghost Stories has not been pressed yet.

its 12 bucks. thats not even a lot to spend on anything.

I was looking at it relatively. The person overpaid by 12 times. It's like paying $100 for a record that was still in print for $8.

Clearly, this is a small thing in the current world of ebaying. I thought it was just stupid enough to warrant a WTF post.

Basic economics: supply and demand.

No it's not. I think there is a very good chance this person could have bought this from Fat for $1, but mistook it for something that wasn't generic and mass printed. I bet I could still pick this up for a dollar.

This is one of those $1 posters you can buy with any Fat order. Maybe you couldn't get Greatest Story anymore, but it stills seems stupid. Pretty soon, people are going to start buying massive quantities of these posters for flipping!

Also, I know this was an older purchase, so sorry if this has already been brought to light.

How badly do you want the Gaslight???

I had records that would skip on my old turntable and not one my new, but it sounds to me like your Gaslight is damaged. Did you store it vertically or horizontally? If heard storing horizontally can damage records.

When I go to page three it shows posts from July 2007.

damn all you threadjackers. I'll now sell for $10.
