Got this one framed up today.
 

 
Crap lighting pic but here's the layout on my wall.
 

Dunno why so many had problems...I ended up with 3 of them in the first hour 

Dude, it's Christmas.

"I spent so much money on this record while the rest of you couldn't even make it through checkout! Fark!"

And...Who cares if he makes a few dollars? I never understand when people thinking it's free to run to the record store and free to run to the post office and free to put tape on it or print out a new label or that my time is worth nothing.
If he makes a dollar or two who cares? He's still helping someone out.

Yeah, a single $20 LP from Hot Topic is $26 PPD, with change.  Tax and shipping are always a nasty combo.  Plus a couple of bucks for shipping; his $30 asking price is right on the money, and he's making no profit whatsoever.

I bought this at ht this morning and then my cousin gave it to me as a gift two hours later. If anybody wants a copy at cost plus shipping pm me.

Yup.  Pretty much this.
And besides, what benefit would you possibly gain from seeing the condition of his records or the package they came in?  Will it help you psyche yourself up, and prepare for a mental breakdown over a bent corner of your own?  His records could have arrived in a box that was trampled and borderline split in half -- that has zero effect on the records you'll be receiving.  If you guys were neighbors or something, I could see the question being appropriate.  But you're asking a dude to take photos of a damaged mailer that will have 0% significance to the mailer you'll be receiving.
 
 
While I will say that the majority of this board does indeed get their proverbial panties in a bunch over very trivial affairs, their annoyance with you[r posts] is justified.  Honestly, bud, it's a record.  It's a circular piece of plastic housed in a cardboard sleeve, containing music that you know and presumably love.  It's not a heart transplant.  If a corner is dinged in transit, who cares?  Glancing at your collection, you're obviously new to the vinyl game... so you'll eventually figure it out.  But shit happens.  If you spend "good money" (read: $26 PPD) on a record and it arrives with a corner bend, contact Travis.  He'll be glad to roll his eyes and send you a replacement jacket.
 
But please.  Don't assume or imply that the rest of us don't "keep [our] collection looking nice", or that we don't "take good care of [our] shit".  As far as new releases go, vinyl is the most expensive format with very few exceptions.  And it's easily the medium which requires the most upkeep.  And this is a community based on that medium.  To suggest that you're above anyone else - or different from anyone else - because you take care of your music is bullshit.  A quarter of this board is probably more OCD than you with their record protection, categorization, and maintenance.
 
So the tl;dr version: you're annoying because you care way too much about corner dings or minimal transit damage.  Actually, not even that, but the potential of a corner ding or transit damage.  And that's pathetic.  Mellow out and realize that there's a ~95% chance your records will show up in flawless condition.  And that even if the very tip of all four of your Juturna's corners aren't angled at a perfect 90°, no one will give a shit.  It doesn't make you a lesser fan of the band.  It doesn't detract value from your collection.  And it surely has zero effect on how your album will sound.
 
Fuck.

Trust me I have, and that's the problem. Clearly it happened. he said not that bad but "definitely noticeable." other people's definitions of "not that bad, may differ from mine. And im sorry if that offends the entirety of this website but to be honest I don't care. I wanna make sure I don't have any problems, especially with a record I wont be able to get a replacement of. That being whether it got damaged from HT or FedEx. I just don't want any problems with things I spent good money for.

If anyone international wants this, hit me up and I'll try and help.

it's NOW up guys hurry!!!!!  http://bit.ly/4kb77v

I have to say that ifworkpermits is my favorite person on earth! He saw juturna go back up & grabbed it for me as a gift. No more legit person on here than him. 

Happy to say that I had my GoPro on for the whole show (minus a battery switch just before vices) and I was over the moon to hear TDAG and Daisy ! YFW and Deja tomorrow, booyah.

I don't normally do this but I'm working at the Lakewood store tonite for the next couple hours and they have a few of each of these in stock right now

I tried emailing but it said the email doesn't exist

Here's the scoop, I found more copies of records I know people wanted so here's a full list of HT exclusives I have on me right now.
Paramore - All We Know is Falling x4
Paramore - Brand New Eyes x3
Panic! At The Disco - Vices & Virtues x3
Breaking Bad x7 - Some of these actually have no damage the plastic sleeves either so look out!
Also, some older ones I have that I'm trying to get rid of in case anyone is interested:
The Wonder Years - The Greatest Generation
Saosin (S/T) [on clearance and still online I think, so go hit that up]
Want at cost if anything.
 
Feels good to help out in the long run though, Just PM me if interested and I'll hook you up.

didn't wanna read 5 pages to find out a simple answer. and I didn't ask the question to be talked down on because I didn't take the time to read.

yeah I realize that. my bad for not taking the time to read it all. i'll keep myself updated in this thread from now on so i don't get my rep screwed.

do you have these or are they just pictures? because I've been looking on the HT website and I cant find them. I heard they were coming out Christmas eve too.

there is an office, but dont do this.. we dont have any boxes at our offices and certainly not any copies of the S/T
 
if you try ill have an intern hit you with a shovel

Okay, update - customer service has been EXTREMELY helpful. Definitely no more worries on my behalf. They tried calling the seller and got no response, and because he had 2 whole days to get the tickets shipped out and didn't, they refunded me the shipping+service fee and allowed me to download a electronic ticket, also for general admission of course (iOS Passbook ftw, fuck paper.) I'm sure the fact that the seller listed these tickets for 9 times their face value didn't look too good in his favor either. They were very eager to help and this all turned out better than I could have hoped for.
On the plus side, if the dummy doesn't get the memo and actually does still ship the original ticket, however inappropriately late, I guess there's the possibility that I might have an extra, and I'll hook somebody up if I can.

So is it guaranteed that the Hot Topic presses are going to be delayed? Or is there still a chance that they will be up tomorrow? Anyone know?

Is this a one sided 7"?

Holy shit sorry for asking a question. I apologize for being new to the ways of vinyl and how it's released. I sincerely apologize for wasting the precious brain power that it took to read and process my post... not to mention the effort that it took to formulate your replies. I guess it's easier, or more maybe pleasurable, to be a dick than to answer with a simple yes or no.

I now realize that this is serious business. Sorry.

Edit: I made a mistake by jumping into the deep end of this topic. I didn't start at the beginning like I should have. I've learned a lesson here. As for others go, I know we're anonymous here but a little tact would go along way... even when dealing with strangers online.

So these are only going to be released in stores and not online? Are people who do not live by a Hot Topic that sells vinyl just shit out of luck?
