Around 15000 copies has been spoken about by Ian in an interview, 500 for friends, bandmembers etc, rest are just orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNEAKORDS Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Question for those that did recieve the box set, did it ship from Greensboro? I have a package that hit my PO box this morning that I'm not going to be able to get for a while, all I know is the tracking# says it started in Greensboro, the tracking doesn't match any deliveries I'm expecting and I can't get the sender address.

Fowty Dollaz Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) If anyone, for whatever reason, doesn't want the actual box itself (not records, just box), please let me know. Mine was thrashed in shipping (records are still perfectly fine), but I'd like a functioning box. I already emailed them and offered to pay to have an empty box shipped to me, but no reply yet (and I hardly expect one at all). UPDATE: They are going to send me a replacement box! Amazing.

Received mine today (even though usps informed deliver didn’t say I had anything coming) and I checked the tracking number. Yes, says Greensboro so that should be it. Also, didn’t know they were going to mimic the first pressings on all the 7”s. Nice touch. Edited February 28, 2022 by Dhesketh Damn autocorrect.

NapalmBrain Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I saw someone post order #15500ish so probably closer to 16k sets. I knew resale prices would be at least double but looks like closer to 5 to 6 times that now, it could tame down and I hope it does for those who missed out since so many were listed before many of us even received them. Just got mine today, washed all 7 and going to break into the set after they dry. I am blown away with the packaging and everything looks perfect minus a couple light scuffs on the GI disc but I doubt it will even sound. I'll never throw down for originals so short of getting lucky at a garage sale/estate sale this is the closest I'll ever get to owning these in their original format. Been wanting these all since I started collecting and the Slinkees bonus single is icing on the cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally figured it would go for at least double immediately. It's the extra 7 inch that jacked it up, though. I shoulda bought a ton of copies and then bought a new guitar (evil flipper thoughts😂). It was up there forever, so if you didn't get one you must live in a cave with no wifi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firehazardrecords Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Hey all, is there any chance anybody has an extra copy of this that they're willing to sell for less than 4-5x the original price? Very long story** but I had a copy coming and now I don't, and would love to still get one. [spoiler]**The long story if anybody cares: I was graduating from college around the time pre-orders for this box set went up, so the person I was dating at the time's parents pre-ordered me a copy as a graduation gift. Well, in the time it took for these to be manufactured, the person I was dating cheated on me hard and then dumped me for the other person. So now I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be getting that graduation gift... I emailed Dischord and they put me on the waiting list for any overrun copies, but I don't want to put all of my eggs in that basket. If somebody happened to buy two and wasn't looking to flip it, I would be eternally greatful if you let me buy it at a fair, non-flipper price [/spoiler] Edited March 2, 2022 by firehazardrecords formatting. blarg. I guess spoiler tags don't work on here. Whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got a chance and the whole set sounds wonderful (for what it is) and the packaging is otherworldy. One of my favorite records purchases in a long time, 13 year old me would hi five me so hard right now. I hope everyone is enjoying their sets just as much and I hope the unlucky few are able to find one for a reasonable price, I wouldn't even be mad if they did another run. prowl20 and lexicondevil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be rad if they did another run. Maybe in a different color. Smart for business and also cuts down on the insanity. I'm all for Dischord making more money.
