Actually you don't.

Based on the level of open availability, they'd probably be a poor "investment" for a flipper. Great deal for the superfan though. I sometimes wish I could look like Fat Mike and join the club.

Assuming that most of the people signing up will keep the exclusive vinyl, the cost of the whole year is likely cheaper than the ebay flipper prices if one turns up. Was a no brainer for me...

So I actually did. But they only had 10 of the 12. Then I sold my original complete set for $225 on eBay and used the money to buy the last 2 I was missing. Essentially upgraded 2 of my variants to fat store copies and made a couple bucks. 

Stoked.

6 variants:
KRM Europe
SBAM Europe
TMOM Merch (BCBC offical)
Thousand Island Records Canada
Smart Punk USA
Prorawk USA
 
I don't have the links, but Google will be your friend...
 

Bit of both. Packaged Sounds has its own pressing plant in High Wycombe for specialst colour work, so all Store Editions and runs up to 500 records are usually pressed there but also owns machines at the Takt plant which do the larger volume and major label work. It started out as a broker but the plant in UK opened 18months ago.

Not Takt Direct..., they are pressed by Packaged Sounds who use the same cutting lathe as TD. I agree on sound and sleeve quality. 
 

And this is why VC is still the best place to come to for interesting discussions.

Did he sign a non-resale agreement?

Bought some super rare test presses from cepcarn4 and he sent them wrapped in a plastic grocery bag inside a bubble mailer! Who can honestly still be a member here and think that's an acceptable way to send records, let alone rare test presses?
 
Suffice it to say, I overpaid for these and of course they arrived damaged. Absolutely infuriated at this seller.

This is incorrect on all accounts. The 3 records were in proper cardboard mailer. After the buyer received the records he had claimed they were all bent & damaged. I gladly said if this is the case please return them to me & I will fully refund the entire cost of the records. He then went on to harass me by saying either refund him half the money or he was opening a claim. I found it odd that someone would want to keep damaged records. I called paypal about this situation & they said this very buyer has had a history of doing JUST THIS. after several additional harassing emails he finally filed a paypal claim. Paypal had asked him kindly to return all items to me. After 10 days of paypal emailing him to send the records he never did and paypal closed the case in my favor. 
 
BE WARY OF THIS SHITTY BUYER  - HE HAS PULLED THIS SCAM SEVERAL TIMES!!!! 

Some decent detective work there Mr Blue.
 
Not cool to lie on here.

"Nah I'm good" hahahaha what a fucking idiot.

Thanks buddy for help. You have done a nice job by alerting the people from getting stuck. I really appreciate your courage.

Not sure if people care about Fat Wreck Chords on VC, so here is just the overview of what I got as far as 12" are concerned, it is complete with variants e.g. at least one of every colour ever released... I may take pictures of individuals but its is a mammoth task...

Thanks all for the kind words, I have actually bought the domain fatwreckcollector.com, so I may at some point start cataloging these in public. I don't just have every 12" but also all 7" and 10". What I am missing are some label variants for the 7 of the Month club and NOFX stamp variants of the Quitter demo.
 
So it is time to call it complete, although the OCD in me says it isn't
 
I just happened to take the picture because I labelled them all on the Polysleeve.
 
Hey, thanks Mat I think your Balzaq and Misfits collections are pretty awesome!
 
I don't like every Fat release but most of them. I think of all the labels I have this is the one where I enjoy most of the music proportionally to their releases. And the recenmt signings have been great. Just don't ask me to pick a favorite record
 
 
Ha, Billy and I are good mates. We pool on shipping costs. He does not collect variants but he has pretty much at least one of each colour too. I have started collecting punk records in 1985, so yes I have been lucky to get some of the big tickets as they came out. But being in Europe meant that getting your hands on US releases before the dawn of the Internet was impossible so some early stuff I had to rebuy for more money, yet it all evens out.
 
Thanks again.
