thadco Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 what a waste of money. I don't why people say stuff like this. You can ALWAYS sell any of them at anytime and make back at least what you paid. It's the opposite of waste of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aestheticguitar Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 seriously, considering most of those were probably bought at the regular $7 price, i'm sure he'd make a huge profit selling them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtv Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 my opinion - guy's got 43 copies too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slymer Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 what a waste of money. Why? The guy collects RAR albums. People collect because it's fun. You could make the argument that all the records we buy are a waste of money. They aren't necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 It seems like most threads on this board get turned into arguments about variations being useless and a waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 or about how a band in particular doesn't warrant the amount of money their vinyl is pulling currently. I dunno, everyone has an opinion and obviously they're able to voice that here, but it really gets old when every thread turns into the same argument. People collect things for one reason or another. We're the same as some old lady collecting beanie babies or those guys collecting PEZ and every other weird collections that are out there. Sure, I think it's weird, but hey, if they get something out of it, personally or whatever, then more power to them. And if someone thinks the band I'm collecting is lame, whatever dude, it's music man, what is this, high school where you cna only like RAP or ROCK or COUNTRY. Let's be serious...

bowserhound Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 1 color vinyl release = 10,000 copies sold 25 different colored vinyl = 100,000 copies sold That makes sense. What I don't get is how many pressings there are that only a few hundered or less copies are printed. It's like the Wonka contest all over again.

dante3000 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 1 color vinyl release = 10,000 copies sold25 different colored vinyl = 100,000 copies sold That makes sense. What I don't get is how many pressings there are that only a few hundered or less copies are printed. It's like the Wonka contest all over again. Honestly, the pressing history of this record is pretty interesting to watch. You can almost map it from initial sales, to the small boost of when they signed to Fat, to the vinyl craze of today. In 2004 - 2006 they did two pressings a year (of roughly 500 a run and 1,000 each pressing). In 2007 they had seven pressings and they have three currently of 2008. As for the strange colors I do imagine it has a bit to do of the vinyl shortage and that I've heard they tend to go for "leftovers", so the story goes. However, this doesn't explain the 200 run of "swamp water green" in 2007 buy that's the only one that seems a little low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
