you're welcome. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Uniform-Choice-Screaming-Change-GREEN-VINYL-LP-Record-sXe-hardcore-not-cd-/230722883116?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5203593448203328648

exactly.

that would be a hard sell.

yo help a brother out

well I was contacted to buy one privately and I offered 800, dude got an offer of 1000 and I lost it, so I expect it to go for more than that this time.

Haha, not the floorpunch on gold. I can think of about 385729865 records id rather have than that. Its the RFTC Pushead Rocket Pack. My guess is it'll go for 1200 or so. But do I really want to sell my Minor Threat In My Eyes on red plus a few other nice records for this one? I may have to.

saving would never happen, it would just get used on something else I want. Man, first world problems.

It comes up once every 3-4 years

So, a major, major want has come up on ebay. A rare major want, an expensive one. I have a decent collection of records here with me now, but a huge portion of my records are in storage overseas. If I had access I could sell a few things and get the money, I dont have that access. Now I can sell nearly everything I have here(okay not everything, but other rare/awesome stuff) and raise the cash. So VC do I do it? Do I sell everything I currently possess to get it? Keep in mind, I may not even win it? Advise me. Also feel free to guess what record it is.

What Kriss said. Question, why buy two? You didnt need two, but you knew you could make some cash off of the second one. Whatever, Im over it.

some really nice stuff there, but some of the prices are too high.

This all got away from the original topic. I have no problem with represses, when the Lifetime LPs were repressed, I bought all of them, mainly because Im a completest idiot, I know they will never have value, but I wanted them. Thats the point, I wanted them. If a band has lets say 1500 fans and 700 of those fans collect their releases on vinyl, the label presses 700 to appease those fans, then some idiot come along and buys 10 copies when it come out, hes not a fan but knows that he can sell these copies at a profit to the people that couldnt get one. The reason those fans couldnt get one, was because jackass was buying 10 copies. Then the label represses the LP for their fans that want a copy but couldnt get one, but again the fan gets shut out because jackass bought 10 copies again. So far with this equation the only people happy are the label, and the flipper. The poor dude who just wants a copy on wax is fucked. This is what I mean when i say its destroying the hobby. The fans/collectors who want an item cant get it because people are trying to make money off of it, in this case double what they paid(in fact the seller hasnt paid anything, because it isnt out yet and its ridiculous that he gets away with it) and that shit aint right. The advent of the internet has changed record collecting, in some ways good, in some ways bad. Im just pointing out the bad.

Yes. Really. So what you are saying is that you dont collect records, you collect music? So you would have no problem trading me something you have that is a really rare first press for a repress? Get over yourself. And yes, you dont see the guys who have been doing this for forty years running to hot topic so they can flip the motherfucker on ebay, that some new jack shit. Collecting something is a hobby. Fucking blues collectors spend their life trying to get a damn 78. Its been re-released 42654656 times but they want the 78. And yes, I listen to all my records.

I think more that anything what i was trying to say was that this was once a hobby, its now become a business, and that is ruining the hobby. Remember the first record store day? Like three people there, the last two years I showed up and just walked away. Of the 100+ people on line maybe 10% were actual collectors.

yes, yes you are. Now if a member of the band said they would give me one if I got the tattoo now, i would do it. The 17 year old me wasnt ready for that commitment. The 34 year old me is.

Kriss, the RFTC record wasnt earned comment only had to do with the fact that it was a giveaway to anyone in the fan club that got a logo tattoo, I think its not right for someone to have that record that didnt get it from the fan club. Its like all these "friends" presses you see around that are in the hands of someone the band has no idea exists. Im sorry but I have every record given to me by a friend of their band.

haha! Rocket fans unite! In fact Im wearing my Rocket belt buckle right now, it always looks good, but as Ive aged it stabs me in the beer gut every time i bend over. So, do you have a state of the art on pink for sale? lol

agreed, and I fucking hate scalpers for that reason. I couldnt get a ticket, so you could make $50. It sucks.

Also, labels and bands make all these special pressing shit copies because they know they can cash on ebay when collectors get all rabid about having everything. There is one record I will never own, its the Rocket From the Crypt tattoo 7". I was lucky enough to have managed a record store years ago and bought many collections. Three times this has come up in a buy and I always told the person to keep it. Why? They earned it, the person that will buy it didnt earn it.

Sorry, you are right and that third part came out wrong and sounded elitist and shitty. I look at it in a way where I really do think some of the younger collectors are ruining this hobby. If its all about the music, and just the music, then you have other formats to obtain it on. I seriously think many people nowadays collect records to either make money on it, or brag about their collection. As far as not having X amount of money to spend on a record, and that meaning they cant have it, well I agree with that to an extent. I mean fuck, I would really like a copy of RFTCS Stat of the Art is one Fire on pink vinyl. This will never happen, so be it, I accept this. Should people have access to all this music? Absolutely. This hobby has and always will be about exclusivity, you never see the damn soul and doo wop collectors bitching about why something doesnt get a repress, because they understand this game and the way it works. Know what I mean?

Whoa, this got out of hand quickly. My original point was about people who dont care about this hobby, or the music and essentially prey on collector types(myself included) This same shit happened with the Botch WATR repress where a whole bunch of fucking douchetards bought up the copies, only to re-sell them to the people who werent lucky enough to get a copy(amazing isnt it? an asshole who only want to make money fucks up someone getting what they want.) I for one really enjoy digging through crates looking for a good score, its a great feeling when you find a great record at a great price. But almost to side with LL here, its become "hey lest just repress everything" that is going to ruin the hobby. I mean fuck, look how high copies of Refused Shape of punk were going for and then BAM, repress. That shit really wasnt too cool if you had dropped $70+ on a copy and then...YAY EVERYONE CAN HAZ IT!! You know why certain DJs used to be better than others? Because they gad better fucking collections, collections that took a long time and hard work to get together. Listen I dont mind them repressing shit, but repressing shit with 857845656564 limited editions is nothing more than an exploiting cash grab. ***Old dude rant......You fucking kids today have it way to easy, back in my day we used to hope somebody was selling their shit in the back of MRR, to the local record store, of wait twice a year for WFMU record fair. Thats right it used to be twice a year, the internet ruined that shit. Get off my lawn.

being that I dont really collect "new stuff" You really dont run into this when trying to get Dangerhouse singles. Sorry for being an old dude.

sellers flipping records before even owning them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alkaline-Trio-HERE-INFIRMARY-Limited-Color-Vinyl-LP-300-Thrice-/230698460373?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item35b6b324d5 I hate everybody.
