bluesnoopy Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 That's what you get for being a sneaky sneak. Wouldn't say sneaky. Mostly impatient. ditc586 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowtooth Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Oh no I wish I would have seen this. I asked the dude to end the auction early for me and bought it for $35. Something else that i thought was weird was that the J-Card was printed on a 4x6 photograph film :( so you already received it? you should take some detailed photos I'm curious! it's still possible that it's not a fake, but it seems unlikely at this point. on the bright side you might have the only Alex G fake / bootleg in existence! haha. does the tape play the correct music?

Yes I already received it. I'll take some pictures for you guys later tonight. Haven't listened yet but I will also do that later and update. I emailed the guy asking if it was a bootleg. If it is I may try to return or at least get a partial refund. The possibility of it being a fake makes me so mad!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkrtz Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'm almost certain it's a fake. While 4x6" photo print jcards have become the norm in the past couple years I don't think the label that put out rules five years ago used them.. I'll just ask justice because he used to have the final copy of RACE given to him directly by the label that put it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduardo Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 A. I wouldn't expect a reply from this seller. My discogs invoice remains 'open' (they've never bothered to cancel the order) and they never replied to any of my messages asking for further information... B. The j-card on original copies is printed on what I'd describe as heavy cardstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesnoopy Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Not sure why I'm getting down votes. I bought an Alex G tape on eBay and got screwed over, yet somehow I am upsetting people. I am new to VC so I'm not to sure about rules. Is asking to end an auction early in exchange for a higher price unacceptable here in this forum?

If folks here think you're getting one over on them, you're in for it. Even if the consensus that the item's a fake, it seems. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the forum thinks but I think it's cheating and just a sneaky thing to do since most bids come on the last day.

bluesnoopy Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 A closer look at the possible boot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkrtz Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It a boot since you don't want it anymore you can send it my way for disposal i can guarantee it will be shredded and incinerated and certainly not popped in my tape deck edit: wait damn I guess i should have pmd you this proposal and asked you to take down the sample photos early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesnoopy Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Seller responded. "Sorry I'm responding to this a little late, as far as I know this is the real thing. I bought it and Beach Music (Alex Gs new cassette) off someone and that one was still shrink wrapped so I assumed both were legit." Don't know if I believe him or not. ditc586 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesnoopy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Asked him about his other copy. He said: "Yeah its the same. This might not be of the same pressing then? I don't know much else about it, all the songs sounded the same and it looked the same to me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
