agreetodisagree Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 My heart goes out to you. Any red herrings in your collection that would be a dead giveaway? /100 variant, signed albums, personalized, mega-rarity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Damn, dude. That is sooo shitty. What a low life to steal someones collection like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Bon Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Other than the anthony green hand painted young legs and from under the cork tree test with a one off screen printed cover and riot blue vinyl signed cover... those are the only 3 super rare ones really all the others are /500 + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Sell that Deja and rebuy most of it Sucks. If I lost most of my stuff, I probably wouldn't even bother with records anymore.Good luck in getting them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agreetodisagree Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Cover all your bases. Check any local pawn shops, record stores or buy/sell/trade shops to see if they have anything that looks familiar to you. Tell them to lookout for a bunch of "new" records and ask that they buy them if someone comes in with them and get their ID info. You'll have to buy them back from any store that takes them in but you can seek reimbursement from whoever stole them in the long run.

Yeh definitely will... i live in west brisbane and there's 2 pawn shops that sell records.. the other places send you to these if you try and sell records to them... I have a feeling they will either put on ebay or just kept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalatapes Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Sell that Deja and rebuy most of it Sucks. If I lost most of my stuff, I probably wouldn't even bother with records anymore. Good luck in getting them back. True same here. That's what happened with my comic book collection days in the 90s. Lost my ace box of comics searched for fucking weeks. I wouldn't end it here and just say screw it though... I'd do more digging... Did you use Craigslist and someone saw your collection? I just have a hard time thinking it would've been a tradesmen. Especially someone trying to earn your business and reference... And this all took place in Australia? So go to ebay and search all the titles you have and then "*Follow*" those searches and add to your e-mail when those pop up. Next bookmark Craigslist or whatever it is you guys have there... Just open it every night and see what pops up in the records section you never know... Also call all your record stores. Tell them your situation. If a collector stole it? I'd have to say he is young, I can't imagine a mature man keeping someone's belongings in their house hold and thoroughly enjoying those records... Lastly, white not make a couple fliers and hang some at the nearby colleges? Those kids are the ones that would probably be into the same music so it might be worth a shot at least getting the word out that some stuff is missing. Good luck man. You can rebuild!

We have gumtree here but i have just done a saved search on eBay for everything that's missing... The flyer thing is a great idea! its only one uni so thats no drama to do... I wont give up on the record collection... i will just now be "over the top" selective on who knows about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyFrosted Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Where can one Australian guy go with a fuckton of limited-ass records? Nowhere. He's gotta be selling 'em. Check all public sites. 'Shipping From Australia' is a huge and obvious indicator. If you can pinpoint a time and date where they were taken, grill all employees who could have been there at that time, threaten with job loss. It's possible at the very least that one could rat out another. It sucks it has to come to something like that, but someone has taken your livelihood, really.
