  1. Haha, long story, but I collected retro games for a while, the prices got nuts, I cashed out at major profit, and now I afford my records by flipping stuff I find at garage sales and goodwills/etc. I will be getting a job this summer.

     

    Damn dude, your autobiography is going to be one hell of a hustle story! I got into vinyl when I shorted stocks when i was 18-19 then bought tons of vinyl then sold the vinyl later and bought a car :P The best job I had when I was your age was cutting grass for the school district, they usually hire kids your age for the summer and its a pretty rad job if you got an iPod and know how to weed whack!

  2. I'm actually excited for the first time in years for the holidays!

     

    Although there is no snow, I'll get to spend it with my boyfriend's niece and nephew, both still little, and seeing that magic in their eyes will be just as good as remembering what it was like at that age  :wub:

     

    NEVER LOSE THE SPIRIT!!!!

     

    I am only 16 but I feel all grown up and bitter already. I really don't like the holidays because of all the bullshit that comes with and it makes all the stores fucking packed.

     

    On another note, the school adjusted their web filter today and they left it so I can torrent stuff again. Wonder how long that'll last

     

    16?!?! How the heck are you in the vinyl scene?! This hobby takes dat ca$h!

  3. i'm setting up a gofundme account for hipster to increase his chances in '16. $75 gets you the minions soundtrack on a martin shkreli picture disc. once we cover overhead, the remainder of the proceeds will be split 50/50 between shkreli and hipster. stay posted for more details.

     

    You can send our portion of the profits to the future president Mr. Bernie Sanders!

     

    I wish I had a +1 to give to this :'( I may have to hire you as our campaign manager....do you accept boxes of limited General Mills cereal as payment (they come with a random Minion keychain!)

  4. Why can't the vinyl boards have threads for hype. I can see album announcements on label sites or pitchfork or any number of music blogs/sites. I enjoy the discourse. People talked about the music/band/album for a while before it was derailed, and they've started again.

     

    Arbitrary rules about "you can only make a thread once a date has been announced" is pretty dumb when you know a vinyl release is coming, and a thread will be made anyway.

     

    If you want threads to be all

    "Records up"

    "ordered"

    "ordered"

    "snagged"

    "shipping notice!"

    "mine shipped!"

    "I got shipping too!"

     

    That's the way you do it. Frankly, I find that boring as hell considering we're all here for music.

     

    This is the way it has always been done previous to the board becoming a turd sandwich back in 2013

  5. Booooo. Christmas trees are fun! Then you get to throw them out the window when you're done with them and watch them rot in the lot behind your building for months.

     

    I got some mini christmas trees that I'm taking to a hospice nursing home, Minion ornaments only! :D

     

    I've always wanted a real christmas tree but I barely clean up after myself, let alone a tree?! 

  6. good luck on your hunt, I think my max I paid was $25 for the first X-Ray Spex single Australian press with alt artwork. I felt kind of dumb at the time but it just sold on discogs for like $52 so I feel better about it now.

     

    That's how I felt when I bought the IIOI/CTVT 7" for $25 off someone on here
