Wow... what would you guys do for a blue first press? I killed my Blue Record variant collection and I've still got this for trade/sale.

No one?

That set is nuts, but shit... this guy's seriously getting paid to just buy stuff... Whatever. $500 is too much for me. I'm glad I got on the prior release of this. Honestly, I think that one looks better than this new one anyways

Same same.

So it begins...

On what grounds do you guys think ghosts can exist? I don't mean to say that with any malice or "ghosts aren't real you ass-clowns" superiority complex (even though I hardly believe in such a thing anymore); I'm genuinely curious. When I was younger, for about a 6-year period, I would see shit when I was alone in the dark. Like... I distinctly remember this time when I was 7, I had just recently gotten an N64, and I was whoopin some ass in that Yoshi game. My mom came in and asked me if I wanted to come with her to pick my dad up from work, which of course I said no to since there was still more Yoshi to be played. So she left, and I was home alone. It was raining that day and it got worse at some point while I was alone and the power went out. So there I am, sitting in the dark, thinking of what to do until my parents get back when my door opens. Now, when I was 7 I totally believed in ghosts and stuff, but I didn't jump to any conclusions since I knew wind currents could do some interesting shit. So I went around my house and looked for open windows, doors, whatever that might have blown my door open. Nothing. So I go back to my room and close the door. So I'm sitting in the dark trying to read a book when the fucking door opens. I'm sitting there with that OMG-cat face when I see this spooky looking ghoul, like something straight out of an episode of Scooby-Doo. Like... take your typical bed-sheet ghost cartoon, paint it black, red eyes, a fat grin with some sharp teeth, and a much more frayed and spread-out bottom end. It just slid into the doorway with that grin, then it just sat there and suddenly appeared to be a more realistic looking figure; imagine the undead from any well-financed, modern zombie movie. Now lynch that fucker. Now leave it there for a few weeks or so and watch it decay a little and all that good stuff. Now make that image look more ghastly and paley-see-through. That's what the fuck this Scooby-Doo ghoul started to look like. Needless to say my Yoshi-playing ass was not prepared to deal with whatever the hell I was dealing with, so I just bolted out of my room, right through whatever this anomaly was, and into the living room. I hid behind a couch and just sort of cowered there until I saw that tattered, black-bed-sheet end of the cartoon-form (it seemed to be like that when in motion and the zombie-thing when stationary.) pass by the couch. Then I bolted back to my room, closed and locked the door, crawled under the bed, assumed the fetal position, and turned into a bleeding ball of emotion. I absolutely lost my shit when I decided to look toward the door and saw that same nasty bottom-end not only at the foot of the bed, but then suddenly start to rotate upside down so that it's creepy face was looking under the bed at me. But of course, it get better for me since when it stopped spinning, it became motionless and turned into much-more-detailed-gruesome-nasto over there. Shit had no eyes and it just opened its mouth like it was screaming at me, even though there was no audible noise. I just cried and cried and cried until my parents got home. I don't remember what they told me, but I know it didn't do much about whatever was going on as I continued to see that same shit occasionally. Even still remembering that all vividly and stuff, I'm reluctant to say that it was a ghost encounter now. I don't really doubt that I was playing tricks on myself all along. I mean... I've had a number of weird visions of weird shit in some weird places, but there's never enough to just say it WAS ghost(s). So that's my best story. I've got a few more, but they don't compare really (or at least they personally didn't fuck with my head that bad as that experience.). I mean... I'm not the nonbeliever that just thinks that the people with "experiences" are just loco. I just don't buy it anymore. Do you guys believe in souls or spirits? You know... like the mortal shell/immortal existence thing? Do you believe there IS a place to go when you die, so that others can get stuck here and not there? Personally I don't believe in souls/spirits within the living, so I certainly don't believe in them just coming into some form of existence after someone/somethings death. I don't believe in any metaphysical plane of existence for such beings to go to. It makes it hard to believe in ghosts when you believe these things. If ANYTHING, I think my very limited grasp of string theory and entanglement theory could put together some hodgepodge explanation, but it probably wouldn't stand well since I'm no theoretical physicist. So, beyond personal experiences and stories you've heard of personal experiences, what makes you believe/not-believe in ghosts. Honestly, it's never the story that interests me anyways. It's always the head the story is coming from.

Anybody want these?

What's the best offer you've got?

Hash...tag? How do I become "it"?

I know I want a copy (maybe both) and I know my room mate does too. So yeah. Do it.

not with any of them. HEY-O! Ziiiiing!

It's smaller, and it's simpler. Whatchu ladies think?

Okay so now if I give you $30 bucks I win the TA record right? Because no one can outbid me, but what if two people say they want TA and offer $30 also? Yeahyeahyeah... I screwed up with that one. I'll get it right this time (I think...).

Yeah... I feel what you're saying. I guess I get jazzed up about surprise records. They say third time's a charm, so I'll take this back to the drawing board.

Sorry. I forgot to add in the new rule I made last night. Bid-caps. You can't offer $40 for it anyways now. I mean... more money's cool, but even though some of these are some good deals, not ALL of them are the best (as you've pointed out), so this is so that I don't end up burdening anyone TOO terribly bad. It's the best I could do with what I've got and what I want to keep and not-keep.

Being called an elitist for trying to inform someone how to properly use their words to communicate effectively is seriously just an attack from someone who doesn't value being properly educated. What other reason could it possibly be? I seriously see none.

Mumps.

So it looks like some of you guys think this might be a good idea and some think the opposite. I was actually expecting more negative stuff, but I took what you said and tried to make it better.

Yeah man. Sorry if it's a little nonsensical. I originally had other ideas (that were probably more simple all-in-all), but these lumpin holiday sales. Oh my Glob. I need an edit-undo for my spending.

Just the top one.

I got some AJJ and some AJJ and some AJJ and some more AJJ! Whoopie!

Again, if you're not interested in gambling for records, here's my normal sale thread.

I'm gonna be so bummed if I don't get any of that AJJ stuff...

I actually never win anything so this was a lovely surprise. Same, but we sure kicked this contest's ass! Haha maybe we were just the only two people who remembered to order that day...
