    Yeah, pink sold out super fast. I went to order it 23 minutes after I received the email but it was gone.
     
    I chose to go with the S1D variant to keep my Lees collection colorful.

    I like having my own personal home music store that is always stocked with only the music I like. Therefore I have hundreds of sealed albums. I am not afraid to go over to my shelves and open up a sealed record to play, but because of the size of my collection there is a good possibility that some records may never get listened to. At some point I will be thinning out the collection and I intend to make a profit from it.
     
    I am not sure what label applies to me.

    There are times when a VC mob will jump on a poor sap and take it too far.
    Then there are times when that poor sap continuously finds themselves in the middle of several VC mobs and, when onlookers stop to see if the poor sap needs help, the poor sap somehow manages to say things that turn those concerned onlookers into part of the mob. And then, after the dust settles and everyone scatters, the poor sap stands up and starts taunting the mob as it leaves, having learned absolutely zero about maybe why any of this happened.

    I accidentally listed Polaris on discogs because I was looking at the listing of it along with what I was actually trying to sell (a non rsd record) and actually listed it twice because I hit the button twice. It was a mistake and when someone brought it to my attention I removed it. Do you think, based on how I view the opinions of the majority of this site, I would have removed it if it weren't legitimately a mistake?
    If you don't want to give someone the benefit of the doubt I don't know what to tell ya.

    Completely agree with this. I work in retail too and as I and many others do our best to help and accommodate people it really is up to the consumer to get up and just do their part. Especially for rsd there is no way of knowing if you're going to get what you've ordered in until the day or two before. Regardless of how many people call however many shops there will always be a line of people ready and prepared for whatever release they're looking for.

    I've been stuck in retail (part time) for nearly 4 years. I know my field of study will have it's own issues but I seriously cannot wait until I can get out of retail and hopefully never have to interact with the general public again for my work.

    Here's the thing.  People who work retail are, like, working 4-6 hour shifts.  That's, like, a LONG time to be interacting and dealing with customers.  Maybe if you were someone who came in during the first hour, it'd make sense that they wouldn't already be infuriated by your presence in their store.  But by hour 2 or, like, 3, they've been talking to customers for 2-3 hours.  When you come in and ask a question, they are tired of customers.  Also, you are a whiner.  I know this because it makes more sense that all randomly selected customers who enter a shop would be whiners rather than one employee complaining about all those customers would be poor at knowing their responsibilities as a retail worker.  Also, I'm angry and you are a thing on the internet I can attempt to knock down and undress to make myself feel nominally better.

    As a fellow retail employee, nothing rubs me quite as bad as saying "I work retail and the service was terrible" - you didn't get a "service," you just called a store with an annoying question. That makes you a shitty customer and nothing more.
    The whole purpose of RSD *used to be* thst you would go and camp out and you would be surprised with what the store had and hopefully pick up several other titles to help support. I would be livid too if I had 5 million whiny Brand New fans CALLING ME every day for months.
    The worst part of a customer is thinking that they are the only one who has a thought or a need and that every retail slave should bow to it.
    Just show up, get in line, cross your fingers, and buy a stack of records. If you don't get Deja, just buy the other retail version. It's not a challenging concept.

    I'm am amazed that someone could/would buy a lot of 5000 records and have no concept of where to go to determine what records they have or the potential value of the records. Was this your first foray into records?
     
    It's like this is the Storage Wars of vinyl.
     

     
    Then you post the question on the INTERNET to find the answer...that was probably available on the INTERNET...by doing a search on the INTERNET.
     
    Seriously though, there is no way you just decided to get into listening to records so you thought the best, most economical way to do so would be to buy 5000 of them all at once.

    If it's not there already (saves you a lot of time if it is), then you add YOUR copy and information, so people coming after you will benefit.
     
    Where did I say 'guaranteed'?  or anything? You project your own interpretation - nice condescension.
     
    Your type is common here though. Part of cyberworld.

    Acting like Discogs is guaranteed to have the info he's looking for is hilarious. Its like Wikipedia for records.
