leviegalapon Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I remember getting People and Things by Jack's Mannequin for around $10 on clearance at Hot Topic. I also think The Fall of Troy and Circa Survive represses were good deals compared to what they go for on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Posted this in another thread recently, but I was at a movie/soundtrack collector's yard sale a few weeks back. He had a bunch of movie memorabilia. Ever heard of the movie Karate Amazones? Yeah, me either, but it's a good 'en, found this for .50 cents:http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=karate+amazones+lp&thumbs=&currsel=&sortord=dprice&x=30&y=2 omik11303 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Damn man. Get stoked. No way you weren't buying something with that art but that is a nice surprised. I got the full Dead Weather Live TMR Vault on here for $35ppd. That is one of my better deals I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aflycon Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 So, about 2 weeks ago a nofx record that I've been wanting for years popped up on discogs, NOFX/Drowning roses split on black /450. They usually sell for $40-50ish if I'm not mistaken, and this one came out to $23ppd and I had a nice paypal balance so I decided to snag it. Flash forward to today, I get the record and I open it. Turns out the seller listed it incorrectly and he sent me a RED COPY /50!!!! These are so unbelievably rare, I never thought I would own one, and now I've got one for damn near next to nothing!! I'm in shock. Holy shit! Incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtcohenour Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 DAYUMM!!! As a rabid nofx collector..... wow....I just.....wow!! I saw that pop up and almost jumped on it just because of the price. I really should have, I guess. That's the beauty of the 'Scogs...you never know what you're going to get. I bought Face to Face's DTA on purple for $20ppd, listed as FAT pressing, just because it was $20. It shows up, first press, purple marble, and autographed with some little doodles by the band. Surprise surprise!!! Nice score, man! I'm totally jealous So awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Last month I bought a copy of La Dispute - S/T for $14ppd from Canada from Zegema Beach Records. Still getting over that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickxmurphy Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I nabbed that $80-90 Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie box set for $25 on Amazon last year. Then the price went way up again as soon as they perceived that the demand had increased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I got SFTD OG on red for $50ppd last year. Same with Frances the Mute. I find that $50 is my magic number. On a long enough timeline I can get most anything for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springbroke Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 My most recent great deal was brought about by this forum - I tried to buy the MOV press of "Worship & Tribute" when it was listed on amazon for $6, and when they ran out of copies, Amazon apologized and sent me a $25 credit. I used the $25 credit to buy two Mineral records when they both dropped to $10 each. Used the other $5 on the newest Diarrhea Planet record. So I got all three for roughly $6.
