dantheriver Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Whoa Dan. Take it easy. He might be paying for the médical debt of a terminal cancer patient. Let's get the full story first. What if someone literally has a gun to his head and is making him do it? We need to have some perspective. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbbrew22 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 dont know if anyone has noticed this, but I just listened to my mumford and sons and the labels are wrong...Anyone else notice this? I just noticed this too! Looks like they were trying to crank these out a little too quickly haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Friendly Rap God Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Here's a bit of much needed perspective for ya'll What if someone had a terminal disease and couldn't afford the medical care, and was trying to make money in any way possible, and found they could by flipping records? Would that make them a "turd" just because you couldn't get your precious out of print wax disks for a price YOU personally find fair? Christ. Just an example, an extreme one mind you, to illustrate how fuckin self righteous this board is. This is what GoFundMe was made for not going out and standing in line for a limited press album to flip you fucking turd. knifeparty, TheMoosen, radiatorhums and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weinerdog Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 This is what GoFundMe was made for not going out and standing in line for a limited press album to flip you fucking turd. Well, in his defense he did say the ilness scenario was 'just an example'. I'm more perplexed that he honestly thinks anyone might buy the whole "I didn't do it, Discogs was somehow self-aware" explanation. If he doesn't care what people think, at least don't insult their intelligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Man I've honestly been busting my ass trying to help people find stuff for cost, so it sucks to hear that board members may be trying to flip stuff. I honestly was pissed I couldn't find a John Butler Trio for some guy who really wanted one. I love VC despite the drama because there seems to be more willing to help & be awesome people (looking at you lupe. for getting me Puig & selling for cost). It is tempting to make a profit on stuff, but it's honestly more satisfying to be able to help out (& I'm usually broke as hell haha). But alas, #thehobby. Anyways, I must say I'm also grateful to live in NE Ohio because all the stores I go to have standard RSD pricing every year (without the insane inflation some of you are reporting). Record Den in Mentor is my go to first stop every year & the employees are great & all the folks that line up are always civilized & have never caused any problems even when not getting what they want. It's part of why I'll never get sick of RSD no matter what. So onto my haul... RSD Foo Fighters 10" Run the Jewels 12" St. Paul 7" Twenty One Pilots 7" Reverend Peyton 7" Puig Destroyer 12" (via lupe.) NON-RSD Russian Circles - Enter (black) Pianos Become the Teeth - Keep You (black) Chet Faker EP (white) Alabama Shakes 7" (Sound & Color PO exclusive) Alabama Shames - Third Man Live 7" Also snagged a Charlie Wagers ITTCT Euro tour poster. Overall great day & I can't wait for Black Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkinglot Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Also, I'm going to my shop tomorrow to see what is left over. Last year they had that video game soundtrack, the Liars record with string, and a few other things left, so they might have some good stuff. I am in Canada, but our dollar is shit remember, so it might be worth it. Let me know if there are any specifics you want me to look for. I'm not even sure if anyone still needs anything after all the places putting stuff up online, but it's worth a shot. Don't ask if you're some random member with 63 posts.

Crabwalker Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I enjoy using this board, and I enjoy collecting vinyl, but the constant fighting over people selling records for more then they paid is silly. Just my opinion, but if you have ever sold a record for more then you paid for it, you have flipped a record. It doesn't matter if it was the same day you bought (ala RSD) or if it was 6 months down the road and you decided you no longer wanted it. If you paid $12 and sold it for $24 b/c that's with it's "worth" now, you flipped it. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolt Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Playing devil's advocate here for a second - Unless the flippers here on the board were on the same RSD line as you and grabbed a record you physically could've gotten, why do you care if they're flipping? vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to finger point at people. What made the $12 record more valuable 6 months down the road when you decided you didn't want it anymore? The same thing that made the RSD record move valuable on the day it was purchased. The buyer cannot get it in the store any longer for $12 and is willing to pay $24. If you were really that against flipping a record, you would sell all of your records for cost. But no one does that. We don't have to agree, and that's cool. But acting like you're better then the person that embraces what they are doing is goofy to me. simonsj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
