Or if they don’t know who you are, would be stoked that you have more of a collection than the actual members, and hook it up. Nah, I don’t give a shit about any of these releases especially TPs haha. Thanks though! This is actually how I completed my Crime In Stereo collection. I'm one of 2 (I think? last I knew) in the world who have a completed collection with all tests/record releases/everything. Ended up becoming good friends with a few of the guys, booked their band a bunch of times years later, and ended up getting free/cheap test press' of records that came later down the road. And they put me in touch with the other guy with a complete collection, who had the last thing I needed (Euro record release cover). And that guy knew the guy who put that variant out so he had an extra and hooked me up for a real cheap trade. My point is, worth a shot! Him them up!

I emailed them right away about combining shipping like the listing said since I placed 4 seperate orders but haven't heard anything back. Mine haven't shipped yet though so there's still hope. Not a huge loss at like $18, but I also really don't need more mailers/my mailman to hate me even more 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylet Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 It's strange to me they're encouraging people to write in and ask to combine orders. I did exactly that when I placed 2 separate orders the during the first vault sale a few weeks ago and got this response: Hey Kyle, usually how we do this is cancel the orders so you would be able to place one order with all of the items that you want in it. But unfortunately some of the items you ordered are now out of stock, so it wouldn’t really be possible in this scenario! Sorry about that! -Lauren 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCDELTAT Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I mostly want to know music flippers DO collect. Like do they just lurk VC to see what the "young people" like, flip that, and then add more Bob Dylan rarities to their collection? They've got everything in there. Mordechai, two blink-182 Dogs 10"s, Alkaline Trio 7", some stuff from the other Bad Timing rarities sale like the ND/KP Split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesPlease Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Bought the Speak The Truth “...even if your voice shakes” 7”. The release on the jacket is written “even if it kills me” lol. Love motion city soundtrack anyways, and it gave me a good laugh. And the custom jackets for all the test presses are awesome. Nothing but love for Bad Timing Records. mysundown1305 and ditc586 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess a typical record flipper would be into something more pretentious than Dylan like Kraftwerk or Captain Beefheart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is definitely the major downside to selling them for so low. It's good in theory that everyone could afford it, but you're basically opening the floodgates for flippers because the profit is so high. I'm happy I got the ones I wanted, but I'd be pretty bummed if I was a big fan of a band, missed out and my only option was to pay 5x what they were sold for. At least when the label is auctioning them or something, you know they're pretty much going to fans because the auction is basically setting the price for what they're worth. There's not much profit to be made from there right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown pleasures Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 When labels do this type of auction it’s clear they’re fine making a little less than they would versus auctioning them off if it means a few of them end up in the hands of fans who’d be unable to afford them. It’s really quite admirable in my opinion. Someone who’s going to pay hundreds for one of these will get it regardless, it’s just that in this case most of the profit will go to a flipper instead of the label but again, they must be OK with it if it means little Johnny who only had $40 to spend on his favorite band’s test press could end up with one. copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's a good point. 10 fans getting them for 50 is probably better than 20 fans having to all pay 200+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysundown1305 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Must be a bit of a coincidence that this post was resurrected, because I just put my copy of Kevin Devine's Brother's Blood up on eBay if anyone is interested. The covid era has been rough for my family so I've been forced to let go a decent amount of my vinyl, including this to pay for our health insurance later this month. Here's the link for anyone interested! Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
