My ebay feed is a downright disaster due to Porcupine Tree scalper mania right now :

Do I have any chance of ever finding copies of these for decent prices? Shipping to the US is already rough on these without paying scalper prices. I feel like these were fairly large pressings, and demand can't be that huge, so I'm hoping once the initial frenzy dies down prices will start falling...

hey! i will get these for you if you want? theyre £20 each (i think) and postage will be about £14. pm me.

Still plenty of everything at Oxford Street as of noon.

same for manc arndale

run the jewels 3 for £12 from UO. for this and another LP the p&p was £3.99, but it's no extra cost to collect from your nearest store.

you just have to accept that current fall out boy are drastically different to the fall out boy we all grew up with, and accept and enjoy it for what it is. they're a straight up pop band now, if pop isn't your thing then you're probably not gonna like it. having said that, in my opinion this song is utter dog shit, no redeemable qualities whatsoever. the rest of the album will be much better though.

has anybody from the uk bought stuff from the store and added them to your ROTM, if that's even possible?  just wanna know how much it cost and if there were any customs fees

Damn, Pinkerton finally sold out and I never picked up a copy. 

bummer, i slept on this too 

some stuff gone

i got a copy of the marble but i don't think i have been charged yet so i'm not sure what's going on with it

 bump

bit negative in this thread. i think this is great, you're basically making a donation to a great cause and getting something pretty cool in return. i would for sure buy if i could get it in the uk but if it's a box set it'll be heavy

Shipping from England, when I've bought Arsenal gear, has been over $30.

 

Kits in England cost much less than they do  here, but they charge us for the shipping price. I think my last Arsenal shirt saved me $5 and cost me 3 weeks having it shipped from London rather than the Arsenal USA store.

 

It seems like over seas shipping should be a lot cheaper by now, but here we are.

that sounds like a case of that individual store charging you more than cost. ive shipped many times to the USA and standard international shipping for 1 lp costs £7-£8 (although its just gone up i believe) with royal mail (5-7 days delivery aim) and even less with other providers. i would have thought 1 football shirt, being light and maybe in a different parcel category would be cheaper. they were probably trying to encourage you to buy from the USA store. regardless, from my experience shipping from the UK to the US is much cheaper than from the US to the UK

You guys all liked Phoebe Bridgers?

Couldn't have been more bored by her.

Awful banter too - lots of "ums" "whatevers" etc...

 

i had the opposite experience seeing her support conor oberst in february, i thought she was amazing

got the boot the other day, sounds great to me. its a cardboard sleeve, 2xlp, milky white vinyl, very similar to vinyl-digital.  i think the back cover of the sleeve is wrong though, the hand and the tracklist font are different from the official release.

Just picked up The Beatles - Abbey Road for £9.99. 

 

It is part of a new magazine subscription to collect all of The Beatles albums. The first issue is Abbey Road and is £9.99.

 

You should be able to find it in supermarkets / newagents.

picked this up yesterday. i was sceptical at first just because i thought it would be shitty quality but im really impressed, its a nice package. the triple albums are great value, aswell as 1 which is usually around £30. can you buy each issue as individually as opposed to subscribing?

Bought from global groove without hesitation, I love this album but can't justify £50-£60

this game was super fun for like a month

i know this topic has moved on but my copy of paradise valley sounds great. i love anything john mayer

Annoyingly, they can apparently  ship to the UK for only $13 for a vinyl album. I recently checked on an item I was kind of  interested in (The PVRIS White Noise variant),  but it hardly seems worth the risk if it's just going to be stuffed into a flimsy mailer , plus the £/$ exchange rate doesn't look as if it's likely to improve anytime soon.

I was  wondering however if their discount codes work with international orders.

Everything I get actually comes in a box, but there's too much room inside so the records bounce into the edges. It could all be fixed with a bit of cello tape or a cardboard mailer to make it more snug. 

Everythings going against UK buyers at the moment, rising shipping costs, shitty exchange rate and the inevitable customs fees (£18 for my latest order of 3 records from Newbury, and you'll always get a customs fee from Newbury). You've just got to factor it into your budget and decide if it's worth it. In my experience if you bought 1 thing from Newbury with shipping/customs it would come to around £40. Maybe us UK folks should organise some kind of bulk buy and divide the fees? And as far as I know discount codes do work with international orders.

I received mine today and had the same issues. 

Same here, everything I order from them comes fucked up. Granted I am in the UK so I don't expect pristine condition, but these look like they've been in someone's collection for 20 years. Kind of a bummer.

I've basically given up on buying records for the moment as the prices are just silly now (also I have a serious problem with buying too many guitar pedals), so this thread is keeping me going. Great work everyone, the last few finds have been brilliant.

im in the same boat, its getting too much. i can only justify buying new if theres some kind of deal or promotion on.
