If by "close" you mean having a CD ripped onto vinyl. Which is, to my best assessment, pointless. I mean no disrespect, but I hope you all are aware that is how these are being produced. And who knows what production methods are being employed at the pressing plant.
 
You know, I've been following this thread for awhile and I am astonished anyone is willing to pay more than $5 for these "bootleg" copies. These are, at best, novelty items. 

If I'm reading a message board devoted to records and I'm reading a thread about a sale at a vendor, a helpful post would say something like "Hey, this vendor has a lot of cheap records, but I don't agree with the way they handle their shipping department. They've filled the orders out of place which has possibly led to me missing out on some releases. If this sort of thing bothers you, you may want to skip ordering from this vendor". This comes across as a much more intelligent comment instead of talking about being all hurt up in your ass about not getting everything you've ordered. Ever hear the saying, "You get what you pay for"?
In a perfect world, all online ordering sites would have real time inventory instead of taking the records out of stock when the order gets filled. Unfortunately that isn't the case. I'm following this thread because it's fun to see what gems people can find in an online bargain bin. I've now placed 4 orders, and even if I don't get everything, I'll still be getting a great deal. Free shipping. Cheap records that I've wanted to own, and a refund for what I don't get. The way I look at it, I'm not entitled, and if I happen to get lucky on a couple of records, then cool.
TLDR: You can't always get what you wanted. Learn to deal with it and you'll be less disappointed with life.
 

 

4 LP's out of 25. Having placed an order on the first day, I think it's kind of B.S.  They didn't even ship the order until I emailed asking about it over a week later.

hard to say. perhaps they learned something from this one and will process things in order next time.

the Black Friday release is the all new 2013 mix done by Albini for the box set. the 3LP release was just teh original album remastered and some bonus tracks.

ayo my office is in Conshy. I better be able to get in on this action

I think it's fun.  People worry too much about the color of their records.

dolla dolla bin yall

Mondo sheep. You should be ashamed of yourselves for buying music that a label dictates to you all for 'collectability', or trying to get a 'full house'
 
Do what you want with your own money. I just think its fucking pathetic and I am entitled to my opinion because thats all it is!
 
Bullshit

it's only fair. if I was one of the people actually attending the show and got shorted a record for someone in Florida who had no intentions of going, then I'd probably be pissed.

I've spend so much these past 2 weeks, I can't spends no more.

also, "The Big Game Is Every Night" should have been on the album... probably my fave Molina deep cut

got one each of the Crypt Keeper covers - one for me; one for my pal. I'll probably keep the slime green one.

the Mermaid albums are not "officially" a part of RSD. I think they are piggybacking off the event.

I would never, even yell at Ellen Barkin 1982. hottness off the chart.

Awesome. I have an original copy of Beatles for Sale that was clearly owned by some teenage girl in the UK in the 60s. The inner sleeve is written all over about her favorite bands and how she was going to marry John Lennon. I'm considering framing it.

ditch ebay. it is fucked. discogs is much better...for a worldwide online marketplace type deal.

Crying over a bent corner and demanding half of the purchase price back. Ridiculous. One of the many reasons I can't stand the "new breed" of record buyers.
 
Sorry, I can't really offer help to your situation. I'm just painfully aware how buyer friendly eBay is in these situations. I hope it ends up going well for you though.
