if i hadn't already completed my Duster collection, i'd be all over these!

balance and composure is gone.. plenty of items remain and prices are negotiable (as well as other items on my trade list)

finna bump again

bump. just added some prices, cassettes are offer based. trades are still very much welcomed and would love to find these records a new home.

bump. just sold 4 records, still got quite a few left

Most of us have had them.

Today I was out in the suburbs (last day of corporate baking demos finally!) and I found a small record shop called Kiss The Sky (the name should have tipped me off to what I would find inside). Walking in, I made my way to the used LP's where I found beat up Pink Floyd and other random dad rock records priced at 25+. Mentally grumbling to myself over that, I made my way to the 45's and began searching. I found 5 singles including an original Red Bird label Shangri-Las, a split single between Blue Cheer and The Blue Magoos, an old radio copy (scrawled on the front of the sleeve) of a Mute pressed Depeche Mode and a random Go Go's single.

None of them were priced (many of the ones I saw as I searched were) so I assumed that any unmarked had a base price. Taking them up to the counter, the proprietor (a man in his early 50's easily) began to take each record out of the sleeve and inspect each like he was a diamond cutter. After finishing with each one, he would hand them off to his friend sitting beside him who would repeat the process over again. After the two of them had satisfied their inspection of the records, the proprietor pulled out a price guide and began to slowly put price stickers on each one. The Depeche Mode and Go Go's singles were cheap (3 a piece) while he priced the others at $12+ with the Shangri-Las being priced at $20. I bought the $3 singles, listened to him prattle about 'value' and whatever else these kinds of dinosaurs go on about and left.

I spent the next hour boiling as I played the scene over in my head - his explanation for the singles not being priced was that the person who usually did the job hadn't been in (must not have been in for months since the majority of the singles were unpriced). Later on, did a search and found that I could get that Shangri-Las single in the same condition for 7 with shipping.

Dude! 30 mins from my house.. I grew up about 3 mins from that store. Steve and Mike (old dinosaurs) are nice guys but overcharge big time.

I was in KTS 2 or 3 days ago and was digging through boxes of records that were underneath their used bins (all of which are unpriced). I found Sleater-Kinney "Dig Me Out" and Elliott Smith "Either/Or"... dude wanted $15 for "Dig Me Out" and $12 for "Either/Or".. ridiculous considering they had a new copy for $14 (of Either/Or).

I try to support them, but the way they price items is royally fucked.

bumping so hard

offer like 15 that shits been up there for a while im sure he will counter with something a little more reasonable.

might do that.. but was hoping to trade for it (if at all possible).

p.s. where's that tracking info breeeeh?

it's the same and I did seriously debate this.. but $28 is pretty hefty. was hoping somebody on VC would be interested in working out a trade

i'd really like this variant.

Bump

mfrank0802 has some stuff up for trade/sale and you should buy from him! Just got a copy of Loveless by MBV as part of a cash/trade and it looks great! Solid dude!

and my heart is melting

sharkweek, best dude. great communication and prompt shipping.

Letting go of some records that don't really get play anymore. Open to PPD offers as well as trades.

Check out my list (in my signature). Perhaps we can work out a trade?

hey guess what?! another bump

I think the lottery system is fair. It gives everyone an equal chance, and it fucks with the flippers.

Good point! I'm just bummed and I'm fishing for some sympathy. Like I said though, still going to buy either way.. Just going to be a little bit now.

I'm not a fan of this "lottery system" for colored vinyl.. I'm so broke but was going to hash out the $12 and not eat for a day or two.

Still going to buy regardless.. Just saying, some other people might share this opinion

bumpage :/

lotus plaza > deerhunter

Very nice. I love that record, though I'm not sure if it beats out Deerhunter.

if we hadn't just put together a nice trade were i got a record from one of my favorite bands, i'd do my best to belittle you.

but seriously that trade was the jam for me.

bump
