19841gg3 reacted to Mista Raws in HydraHead TEST PRESSING SALE
I bought a condo two and half years ago as a short sale while the market was at it's lowest point.
I put offers on 30+ condos and was repeatedly underbid by investors with cash. Despite my higher bids, banks were taking less money from those with cash as opposed to losing more money by selling to a first time buyer with a traditional loan. Which, at the time, was considered very risky due to the high amount of people defaulting on their loans. The majority of these cash buyers were buying the properties to upgrade a couple items then wait a few months to resell the properties once the stock of short sale properties had been depleted.
I was pretty much being forced to lower my affordable range so the money I had saved as a down payment registered as a higher percentage when compared to my newly lowered price range. In the city I live in, this difference in price range would have relegated me to living in a neighborhood where it was quite unsafe for me to walk around in at night.
It pissed me off that people with money could just come in and swoop up these properties and force me into a crappy neighborhood with no intention of ever living in them while I was looking to purchase a place I may be living in the rest of my life.
When compared to this, buying records to make a profit like people buy antiques, baseball cards, comic books, art, etc. doesn't really seem like a big deal to me. After all, record collecting is a hobby right?
I'm also aware that this long boring story about me buying a condo would be about as effective at changes someone's mind in regards to those who buy records to profit off of as me simply responding with a sarcastic Confucius quote.

As someone who actually lost his mom to cancer, I hope you fucking choke on a cock and die.

I routinely forget that I bought one of these until this thread pops back up, I just know after all this waiting if I ever actually get my copy the combo of colors I get will completely suck.

I just traded some records to Mean Pete from Remembering Never for a test of their new record This Hell Is Home, pretty excited for that.

Dude, just chill out already. Lurking the board for a while and realizing the right way to integrate yourself into a community would have done you some good. Take it down a few notches and don't come off so eager. Fuck man it's not that hard.

couple of pricey ones for me (excluding box sets):
~$120 Finch - What It Is To Burn (1st Press)
$75 The Felix Culpa - Commitment (Test Press, /5)
$65 Every Time I Die - Last Night In Town (Test Press 4/10)
$65 Every Time I Die - Gutter Phenomenon (Test Press 4/10)
would be willing to go broke for more ETID tests, too.

I buy quite a few records from bands I don't like but they still make me some good profit. It's okay I know you're mad.
