jrodan Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 sorry, i was being sarcastic. i definitely didnt take that ridiculous offer. and while i know i have $700 or so worth of vinyl in those 3 records, i am not looking for that much if someone wants to purchase all 3. would discount heavily. heads up to those who wanna be big OG press ballers. holyvacantsholyhell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are holding onto like $700 worth of wax there, though. I think $700 was (generously) feasible before the reissue. Unless a Duster completionist comes into a good chunk of money and decides to drop top dollar on VG+ OG copies, this boxset and widely available set of represses will tank aftermarket value. Knowing Numero I doubt there will be any real quality issues, so I’d personally take that trade if I were in his shoes. (But I’ve also never been one to obsess over a 1st press.) holyvacantsholyhell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 At the same time I also know that that isn’t the offer jrodan pitched in the first place, so I have no idea where that guy got the idea to offer up a boxset-for-OGs swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the quality of the other Numero box sets I have, I'm going to be very happy with the box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon, now. I get where you’re coming from and you make a good point, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if the [colored] boxset fetched some big bucks right out of the gates. Duster isn’t exactly a household name and those 500 sold out relatively quick all things considered. It’ll be interesting to see. Not trying to defend Karpa’s offer, just a bit of speculation from me. Edited January 18, 2019 by Derek™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyEnemy Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Color variant will eventually show up again, or damaged copies will be offered for less on the site. It’s happened before. For the person that referred to a few records as “worth of wax”, you sound like a fucking narc. Go home, lay the badge down and kiss your wife child goodnight.

Bronchitis Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 These represses are going to be infinitely better than the cheap Up Records originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely meant it in regards to Numero’s quality. Hyperbolic for sure. The originals aren’t bad by any means but just meant it would be useless for someone to seek out the originals unless they are collecting.

THE HOBBY But on VC, limited colorways will always take precedence over OG black vinyl. A 2nd press colored record /500 is a lot more desirable than a 1st press black record /1,000. At least around these here parts. You may have to offload those OGs on the Hoffman forums or wherever the audiophiles roam. (Maybe a Duster Facebook fan group or something?)

THE HOBBY Ah yes, THE HOBBY. I’ve been away from the board for a while and I guess the idea of spending hundreds on records that are being reissued has become a foreign idea to me. I’m heading up to Seattle to see Duster on Sunday in a few minutes and am spinning these before I leave. I usually listen to the CDs in my car so it has been a while since I have thrown the records on and they sound more solid than I remember. jrodan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how I found them too. Huge Built to Spill obessive and was going through the Up roster when I was a kid and found these guys. Got all the 12”s from Clay for $12 brand new, I think the 7”s were $3 and I got Valium Aggelein used for like $10 on Discogs. I’m a bit too nostaglic to sell the originals or else I would have cashed in. jrodan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I had a music site around 2003, while in high school, and Up Records sent me a padded mailer of some of their releases on CD, two of which were Weekends of Sound and Contemporary Movement. I didn't quite 'get' Duster until very recently but I've been a big fan of 764-Hero since I got those promos. Two good bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSchwimmer Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 So if anyone is still selling the originals I am looking to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
