Cloudsbelow Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 for fuck sake.. can you just quite your bellyaching about newbury. they have a business model, it works for them.. it works for their clients.. it doesnt work for you.. i get it. fuck, you're not some saviour for enlightening us all that we can get the record on black vinyl somewhere else for cheaper.. most of us probably have the black vinyl copy already sitting on our shelves, i know I do.. for pretty much every NC pressing i've bought. So i sell off my black vinyl copy and then every couple years when I pull out a fleetfoxes record or an elliot smith record or or or.. my plums are warmed when I see that its a pretty colour. prices will rise cause thats the nature of the beast.. people are buying vinyl so the labels need to make money on it now, its not just a small niche market that they can make a tiny margin on to appease some vinyl enthusiast, it's a legit revenue stream.

Get some ointment and ignore the people whining then. Some people love whining and that's fun for them. Some people want to pay too much for records and that's fun for them. Meh. But maybe you like whining about people whining. If that's your thing, keep at it. I'd say still get some ointment if your ass is that chapped though.

Cloudsbelow Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 maybe we should start a 'little whiny bitch' thread.. so this thread can stay on topic instead of just the usual people whining every time NC releases something? got some ointment, wanna help me apply it?

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I guess I should ask if the chapping is more around the anus itself, or the cheeks, though. Either way, I'd wager I touch way grosser stuff on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 How much did you pay for the Nirvana? I recently saw it in a NC for $70!!!! LOL, I paid $25 for mine sealed when they were new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardedSteven Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'd rather pay NC's overcharged price and insane shipping than to wake up to reading about some of you guys and you chapped bunghole fetish! I will add this to the conversation though. This one time I was going to buy the clear Fleet Foxes and had it in my cart. Forgot, went back the next day. And it was sold out. D'oh! So I called one of the stores. He had it in his hands. But the stores don't do mail order. Dude was friendly though and gave me the phone number to the mail order dept. He reiterated the same thing and sure enough confirmed they sold the last Fleet Foxes the day before. But told meI could watch out for their Amazon and eBay stores for it to show up. But "not at the same price"... Nice. Suffice it to say I did not search out that title. Did not stop my from getting the recent Nick Cave or the Elliot Smith from yesterday(which is down to 281 pieces left...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 For people local to NC, it's great. No need to Preorder No need to pay inflated shipping (their packaging is terrible) No jacked up prices because you buy it when it is released, not wait til they double the price (that's your own fault) All the Limited runs are easily attainable in the stores for the first couple weeks after their release. There were still nearly a dozen of the new Hendrix at my local NC. They also still have Meat Puppets, Sublime ($40 was too much from the start!) etc etc. I get it's terrible using NC mail order. As I mentioned in the past, I've done it. Never again.$8 shipping. My LP arrived split on the spine and bottom, and bent to shit in a padded envelope. Oh yeah, and you cant exchange it in the store, nor can you exchange it online, only option is to return it online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Exquisite Death of NK Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 for fuck sake.. can you just quite your bellyaching about newbury. they have a business model, it works for them.. it works for their clients.. it doesnt work for you.. i get it. fuck, you're not some saviour for enlightening us all that we can get the record on black vinyl somewhere else for cheaper.. most of us probably have the black vinyl copy already sitting on our shelves, i know I do.. for pretty much every NC pressing i've bought. So i sell off my black vinyl copy and then every couple years when I pull out a fleetfoxes record or an elliot smith record or or or.. my plums are warmed when I see that its a pretty colour. prices will rise cause thats the nature of the beast.. people are buying vinyl so the labels need to make money on it now, its not just a small niche market that they can make a tiny margin on to appease some vinyl enthusiast, it's a legit revenue stream. Dude, have you read my posts? I make it perfectly clear that Newbury is a private company and that they are entitled to run their company however they want. So I am not sure why you seem think think that I am bellyaching or whining. And you can spend your money however you want. You like the pretty colors? Good for you. Buy the over priced records. I don't care. I am just offering some cheaper alternatives for people who only care about the music on the wax disc, not the color of said disc. And if you read a few pages back, some people have appreciated the links to buy those less expensive options as they may have not known they existed. This is a board for people who like listening to music on vinyl... posting in this thread with cheaper options to the versions Newbury offers seems perfectly on topic. danionly, ExtraFox and TheGhostOfRandySavage 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just a normal guy kevin Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Only small difference is that instead of consumers doing their half of controlling supply and demand, they can artificially create scarcity to jack up their own releases by simply holding ten boxes of records and announcing the release as sold out.

Le Gogh Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just gonna throw my experience of NC in to the mix. I've ordered from them twice (to the UK), and both times my order has arrived in a sturdy cardboard mailer, in mint condition. Arguably they could ship the record outside of the sleeve, but I've had no bad experiences yet. I don't know if maybe those who get their orders in something more flimsy are ordering from within the USA, so perhaps have a cheaper shipping option?
