skidroje Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 A pallet of Victory Records test pressings? Makes you wonder what's on it. https://www.bidspotter.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/bscwint/catalogue-id-winter1-10009/lot-a1f34d0d-0674-435b-91e6-ac810002c6ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putol Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 looking at the picture I can see Silverstein, Snapcase, Warzone written on some of the packages for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smailtronic Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Chicago VC group buy? I'm only half joking. Edit: There are a ton of RIAA awards in the greater auction, as well, if that's your jam. Edited December 6, 2020 by smailtronic added to my thought.

If those boxes are all full of test pressings, there's certainly profit to be made by reselling them. But if it's a mix of stampers and mechanical parts, it'd be nice to return them to the relevant bands, but that may turn into more of a break-even kind of thing than a profitable thing.

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I’d certainly entertain splitting it. As long as I’m allowed to open the boxes I could make a serious offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaulManella Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I'd gladly buy test pressings of Shudder, Live at the Bayside Social Club and Sirens and Condolences off whoever gets their hands on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Semi-related: like 8 years ago an ex-victory employee listed like 50 tests on eBay and I snagged a bunch of them for real cheap. I only have like two left though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I'd be in for a group buy, even though all i'd want is Keasbey Nights if it's in there anthemforadoomed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookups96 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 There are so many great albums that were pressed by this label. They were doing vinyl well before the boom ever started. I would be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shenanigans Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Wait, is VC actually talking about bringing back VC? Vinyl Collective Redux. I'd be interested in jumping in this. Hopefully Tidal Wave can get a better idea of what's in the boxes. Been following it for a few days, but the local pick up thing makes it difficult.
