The Butcha Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 This is one of those rekkids I keep putting off buying. I might get one later Butcha since it's that cheap. But you can pay 5x that amount for it here!!! Edit: Love you Rez, but this is a pretty redic markup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 But you can pay 5x that amount for it here!!! Edit: Love you Rez, but this is a pretty redic markup. The guy did the legwork to get it signed, and while I don't care enough to pay the going price here, I don't think this is as offensive as people are making it out to be.

Dominic_ Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 And as for the markup, I'd say that depends on if he got it at the show or online before. At the show I'd assume it'd be 20-25 from the merch table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really either. I couldn't give a single fuck to be honest. Someone will pay for it, no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I dunno, I've said my peace. I don't care enough to argue all day, and like I said, I won't change anyone's mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the Black/Clear/Black w/Black Splatter version. It is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention if it were Blink/Brand New or something with the same margin of markup I think it'd already be sold. Just a matter of the fanbases being made up of different kinds of people. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like it's a crazy hard signature to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been behaving, I even resisted buying anything in the GoHastings debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluescreenlife Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Flipping, to me, is buying an item and selling it exactly as is for a higher price. That's not what I'm doing. Getting a signature, in my opinion, warrants a higher price. Autographed stuff sells for more $ all the time. Because IIOI is a smaller artist, I wasn't sure what to price it at. So I figured why not start high. I'm selling it because I was able to get two copies signed, one for me and one to sell, and I could use some money at the moment... mostly to cover costs of other records I've bought, haha. The money I make is going to go right back into the vinyl industry, so at least there's that. If you don't like it, don't buy it and move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the show I'd assume it'd be 20-25 from the merch table. I don't have a horse in this race, but...I've seen IIOI many times both acoustic and full band, and usually he sells vinyl for $15. He's also an easy guy to meet/get an autograph from, especially when he is the opening act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 the whole "leg work" argument is also redic, as he was already going to do said leg work for himself. its not like anyone had to go out their way to do something for someone else. it was already in the plan to be done. so why not be a nice guy and hook someone up. example: hey guys, im going to hot topic to grab myself a record, you want anything? oh it will be 20 bucks more for it since I had to go to the mall...but wait, weren't you already going there in the first place?

Hah yeah it was pretty easy. But I went to a show and spent a lot on beer and vinyl, and need to make up for it. Does that make me such a bad person? I'm only human, I have temptations like the rest of you. If you think it's too expensive, don't buy it from me! Or make me a more appropriate offer!

It's in the same timeslot as being on VC anyway, so why not? I'm gonna make it my personal goal to get an autograph from Evan Weiss and sell it at the cost of the record in the near future. mappingtheyears, The Butcha and KingTacoMunster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck would Evan want to happen in this situation? He's a normal guy just like you and I. I highly doubt that that man believes his signature is worth this much.
