So we're going to have some pretty significant qty's of some RSD heavy hitters in a few hours. We kinda got screwed over by a distributor who for some reason decided to send a couple pallets of stuff Ground instead of Overnight.  Our bum out is your stoked! We know exactly how much and of what title are coming so we've listed the inventory. We expect to receive these pallets on Thursday or Friday of this coming week and will jam the orders containing those items out over the weekend as quickly as possible. That said we've got a ton on hand right now too so those orders will leave straight away. We're dealing with a new web store and shipping system so this should go really fast. Keep your eyes peeled on our website at 5am PST and give us all your available money. Thanks everyone!

Hopefully, we'll help take those off of your hands. :)

If if anyone has an extra lost in translation hit me up. Between amoeba crashing, 1234’s website being awful to navigate, and plaid room rolling out their sales in the worst way possible with the landing page list being the only place you could order from till everything was sold out anyway... im

done 🤷‍♂️

The listing for The Charlatans' Us and Only Us is actually the description for Some Friendly. So if I buy, which do I get?

It's whatever one came out in the US. We got our info from RSD and they fucked the description and photo up.

Both came out on the USA, but my guess is you guys have Us And Us Only listed since I personally didn't see any Some Friendly when I was looking for it at your Oakland store yesterday.

This was literally 2 pages to look through in alphabetical order what's so difficult?

I'll agree but also to be fair I wish I had known about the limitations of items per page earlier and I could have made it crystal clear to begin with. Part of the difficulty this year is how late things showed up. Normally we have this all completed weeks in advance so it's all set up.

I just find it unfair when the manchildren on this forum shit on people who are obviously trying their best to make a smooth experience. Both pages were up and clearly labeled long before anyone had to refresh at 5PST and then "navigating" each page consisted of scrolling to the letter of the item you wanted... hilarious. Thanks again for doing this every year!

To add to that, there are very few sellers or shop-owners that actively participate in the threads they may post, which is something 1234 Go! does every year. Fielding questions, trying their best to provide updates to stock inquiries, etc.  It's why they get their own thread in tandem to the RSD one.  At the end of the day, sure; a sale is a sale  It's a mutual benefit, and the traffic from VC may help to clean up a bit or ensure that there's not too much RSD stock sitting around for ages... but I suspect that it doesn't "make or break" their business.  Realistically speaking, opening up their post-RSD sales to our forum isn't something that has to be done.  The page could be a single text field where you have to enter in the item you're after, click Search, view results, and then hit Back to restart the process.  The checkout process could be buggy and take several attempts.  They could not accept Paypal.  The entire page could be written in Portuguese and require Google Translator to navigate.  But if they're ultimately putting something in your hands that you wouldn't otherwise get, I don't think anyone really has any room to complain or feel entitled.

 

tl;dr – like Sunshine and others have said, we really appreciate everything you do here at VC, @thischarmingham.  Especially the transparent communication.  I personally did not luck out with your 5 AM sale this year, but I have in the past and it's always a great feeling to obtain something that's eluded you all day.
