This is some VC Detective work at its finest. 

found a copy on white vinyl, did anyone know about this? 

This is some VC Detective work at its finest. 

Seemed like a pretty chill dude here on the boards, but it's cool to see that it's possible to exploit an employee acquaintance to make a quick buck.  I've been doing it wrong this whole time.  Glad it went to a true fan who opened it up to look at the purdy colors and then shelved it, and not some loser who purchased a VIP package and showed up early.  (Not me, by the way.)  "Hahaha nerds" indeed.  I get that shit happens, and I spotted a recent thread that he created, where he's selling an Alexisonfire boxset on account of sudden (alleged) bills.  Maybe I don't know 100% of the story, and I get that bills suck – but they're a part of life, and abusing a venue hookup is still a pretty shitty thing to do, in my opinion.  Dude could've easily sold it for $70 here on the boards and doubled up.
 
It wouldn't be so bad if just 2 pages later, he didn't encourage everyone to jump on someone else selling the same record for a third of the price he's listing his for.
 

 
People fucking suck.

I saw this one company that turned record players into suitcases.
 
Revolutionary for the hipster that is often on the go and needs to spin their newest Belle and Sebastian record on the plane.

If I take a picture of my Deja, can you put it in a brown paper bag? Or would I need a picture of that, too?

I agree with jonnystorm777, Jimmarcucci, and rogeoa8. $50 is half of $100. I can also see how it may be a bit difficult for people to afford. I personally love this album and have no problem picking it up for $50. Sure, this could have easily been $25-$30 shipped. Shirts at shows could also easily be a lot less than $20 but I always buy to support. Is the profit they are making going to really enhance their lifestyle, probably not at this level. These guys barely play shows anymore. Anyway, I've met these guys a few times and helped them out when they had their PledgeMusic campaign. 
 

Someone bump the thread when it's down to $25.

I'll get one at the show. Unless of course he charges extra to ship it across the merch table.

Just announced their Still Searching tour this coming spring! The VIP bundles have white or gold vinyl of the new acoustic EP coming out, so I'm sure non-VIP orders will be available soon for the EP
 
 

Third Man's got you covered https://www.discogs.com/Carl-Sagan-A-Glorious-Dawn/release/2009572

Haha, you haven't even been a part of the boards for a year yet.  You don't know shit about my levels of douchebaggery.  But allow me to be sincere when I suggest you stop while you're ahead, before embarrassing yourself further.
 
I actually and completely knew you would be commenting on that as a rebuttal.  I've seen it with every single forum newbie who feels like he can puff up his chest and stick us big bad regulars in our place.  Fuck off, man.  I had a much more elaborate response in progress because I knew you'd chirp in with that, exactly, but it's been lost because the quoting system is completely garbage on this iteration of VC.  Apologies for keeping this version "concise" –
 
First and foremost, post counts don't mean shit.  But obviously you'd choose to isolate that part of my post and not the bit where I mentioned that I've been on the boards 8x's longer than you have.  I've seen 8x's the amount of bullshit you have, 8x's the amount of trolls, and 8x's the amount of members who are too big for their britches.  But at the end of the day, there are actually plenty of users who've been a part of these forums for a lot longer than I have, who have far fewer posts to show for it.  It's the same reason there are users who've been here just a year or two but have already surpassed my post count with the help of the Small Chat thread and the Everything Else board – as I said, post-count means nothing.  Nor does it have anything to do with insecurity.  What would I be insecure about, here in this thread, anyway?  I feel like you've got that completely backwards.  If anything, I'd be insecure if I were buying either of these represses... but more on that in a bit.
 
You said it yourself on this very page: you aren't sure of "the history" associated with Tug.  So why try to put someone in their place with that individual is all too aware of the history?  Do you not understand why that's a terrible idea, on your part, and makes you look like a fucking clown?  You're giving new[er] users the exact rep they unfairly receive shit for.
 
You should know that I actually do avoid clicking in threads for releases I have no interest in or excitement for, and that I practice that exercise a lot.  There's a lot of hot garbage that bubbles up and crusts on the main page of these boards.  While I do believe in a bit of trolling for the sake of fun, I'm not on VC to rain on parades – it's why you won't see me discussing the Hot Topic exclusive variant for the newest A Day To Remember, or chiming in about the half-dozen variants available for the latest Taking Back Sunday record, or clamoring over my thoughts on the latest Green Day track.  I resist the urge to flex my sarcastic, condescending opinions in a lot of potential threads, here – so fuck you for downplaying my struggle and constantly conscious effort, there.
 
This thread, in particular, I felt I had "a right" to view and comment in just because these two Used records received play in my teens years.  (A lot more play than they should have, admittedly.)  I can relate to these releases and I find it entertaining to see what others think of the repress and their current aftermarket value.  At the end of the day, isn't that why we're all here?  Aside from wanting to be kept updated on pertinent PO info, we're all here because we're looking to kill boredom or keep entertained to some degree.  And while I'll jokingly rib a friend who actually bought a repress of the S/T, here, I'm honestly not in this thread to divert people from buying what they enjoy.  I've made plenty of nostalgic purchases in my past; my hands are not completely clean from that messy affair.  But if anything, I should be glad that people no longer have to piss away $80+ on a copy of that S/T – this is something positive to rejoice.  Why would I chastise or truly belittle someone who was buying this record to revisit their high-school days, play once, shelf, and resell for profit in a few years?  Do what you want.  I have no say in how to spend your money.
 
But like Randy just said, above, you clearly haven't been around for tug's bullshit.  And that's where the negativity and [counter] trolling is stemming from.  Since you know nothing of it, it truly is in your best interest to take your own advice and shut up while moving onto another thread.  But for the sake of clarity, here, I'll shed some light.  Anyone who's been on the forums for the last years or so can tell you that tug is the worst sort of troll.  One who sincerely believes he's doing nothing wrong by blatantly and endlessly supporting The Used to obnoxious levels.  As it's been pointed out, this thread - and all his others - receive completely unnecessary bumps.  We don't need inventory levels on sites that still carry these records.  No one is actually PMing him for pressing info or assuming he's got ties with the band.  No one needs real-time updates on when the Merchnow variant is about to sell out, throughout the day.  He's been banned in the past for taking his threads too far, and apparently that ban was lifted in time for him to participate in these represses, here.  So that's where we're at.  99% of threads run a normal life cycle consisting of hype, discussion, pre-order information, shipping confirmation, photos of variants, a few "where's my order?" posts, and then... it dies.  Such is the circle of life for threads that aren't fueled by members who practice good tastes and aren't socially inept.  Tug's last thread was for a pressing of a Used live acoustic performance that was so fucking atrocious that only a troll could support it, and he was banned for it. Obviously someone beyond me and my massive dick + post-count decided that he was being a nuisance, and justice was served.  So please, establish a clue for yourself before whipping out the "if ya' don't like it, don't click it" speech.  Save us all the cringe, going forward.

Don't forget that before the delete post button was taken away, tug would bump a thread, then delete his post so it didn't look like he was just bumping it back to the first page.
