craigalanp Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The last post I made was an attempt to seek offers for an extra copy of Circa Survive's "Descensus" pre-order (Yellow/Black splatter) that I did not physically have in my posession at the time. I was naive (showing a lack of experience, wisdom, or judgment) in how record flipping actually hurts the vinyl collecting community. The downvotes I got proves that, lol. I'd like to see vinyl collections continue at fair prices in the years to come. http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/107232-wts-circa-survive-decensus-preorder/ To make up for this mistake, spread holiday spirit, and spread awareness to other new and old record collectors about record flipping, I'd like to give away a couple records as well as purchasing two records anywhere online of your choice ($30 USD limit before shipping). The extra Circa Survive order was cancelled, or else I would love to give it away.I expect nothing in return other than I am hopeful for future record flipping attempts in this community can be handled in a more friendlier manner. Be tactical in how you correct someone's ignorance. Record 1: Hotel Books - I'm Almost Happy Here, But I Never Feel At Home (InVogue Records 1st Press - Sea Blue /300) 2014, SEALED, Unplayed Record 2: Being As An Ocean - Death's Great Black Wing Scrapes The Air / L'exquisite Douleur (1st Press - Clear /1000) 2014, FLEXI-DISC, Unplayed Record 3: Your online choice ($30 USD limit before shipping.) Record 4: Your online choice ($30 USD limit before shipping.) Also, I would like to bring up Suicide Awareness. I lost a friend (Michael William Isaacs, 17) this past 21 November, 2014 from suicide. He always had a loving personality and he loved music more than anyone I have ever met, and for that, I want to pay back in a small way for his random acts of kindness through music, specificially through Vinyl Collective. The last thing we talked about were vinyl records. If you are feeling depressed, seek help, it is not an act of weakness. Ask and make sure your friends and family are truly OKAY this holiday season. We are all in this fishbowl together!Obituary: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timesunion/obituary.aspx?pid=173314078Instagram: http://instagram.com/jcm.800I will be selecting four random individual winners this TUESDAY, 09 DECEMBER at 10PM Central Time. For entry, please reply with "Suicide is not the answer." as well as which record option you prefer as listed above.For options 3 & 4 and you live outside of the US, please make sure the online retailer has available shipping options to your country!edit 1: originally wrote 02 December on accident instead of 09 December.edit 2: removed international restrictions.

MichaelGAab Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Suicide is not the answer. I've overcome the thoughts of suicide myself. With the helpful words of my favorite singer actually. There is more to look forward to. There is help, there is hope. I'm sorry for your loss, and what you're doing is awesome. Option 3 or 4. Hopefully everyone can pay it forward. I know I'm going to. Maybe I'll do a giveaway too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamdbz Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I lost my dad to suicide a few years back. It's insane to see how everybody in my life was affected by it (and still is). I dug myself into a hole that took me years to crawl out of. Suicide is not the answer. It never will be. Options 3 & 4 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigalanp Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thank you to everyone who entered so far, I appreciate the kind words and sharing of related stories. This isn't just in memoriam of Michael, but to those who have lost a loved one (in some cases more) and how music can help you through the hard times as it has for myself. The mixture of sadness, anger, and confusion is a terrible thing. I will be posting a video of all names submitted being pulled out of a hat after closing time so everyone sees that they have a chance! musiconwax, Wesley and GhostTrail 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

najerarick88 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 As many have stated above, suicide is definitely not the answer. There are always resources available to those whom need it in order to get through such difficulties. I'm sorry for your loss and as well to everyone else on here who's had to deal with such unfortunate events. Music can become an extreme form of positivity. Options 3 or 4, thank you. "Be tactical in how you correct someone's ignorance." Couldn't agree more with this statement. Happy and safe holidays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
