TFP Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I may try to get the indie version from my local store, which may be my best chance to get this album for a decent price, but is anybody else irritated by how much this record is costing? I checked the FYE site for their exclusive and this $30 record comes to $40+ when you factor in the $8 shipping and the $2 tax. Also, 2 months ago I passed on getting the signed yellow vinyl off of Switchfoot's site because they had like $12 shipping THEN they raised the price later...WTH? So, shouldn't a 2LP only cost around $25 especially when these sites gouge you for shipping costs. It's ridiculous, I may not even be able to get this record...it is just way too expensive.

DarrenMcCall Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yeah, it's expensive. But they always put out quality pressings, so it should be worth it. I ordered from Bull Moose + another record to get free shipping ($30+). I wanted the Indie variant and I love supporting an Indie store. Amazon is the currently the lowest price I've seen, at $22.42, which meets your expected cost. I'm waiting to see what variant it is and to see if the price drops a little more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsmusic Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 dang.. i waited to order from bull moose and now it's outta stock there. Afraid that I'll get a black copy from them. IIRC, if you order a variant and they run out they ship black copies and you'd be stuck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I just found the "Indie Store" exclusive on eBay for $27 and free shipping. I feel like that is a nice middle ground as to what I wanted to pay for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmsmusic Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Thanks anyway! Picked it up from port. Having 2/3 of the coloured variants now makes me just wanna pick up the FYE one for sake of completeness.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmhmm Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Variant collecting this album is gonna cost like $120. No go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll wait til they have a sale then consider picking that up. And I can do without a black copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyjacobsnerd Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 FWIW, I preordered the standard from Bull Moose (before there was a listing for indie variant) and I received “clear with black swirl”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the “indie variant.” So tempted to pick up the FYE variant, as I have a personal affection with straight up “clear vinyl.” However, I think my “indie” copy will sound fine.
