captainmorgan Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260194320659&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:us Purchased 4 hours ago at the release show in Shelton, Connecticut. One of 40 copies sold. Seriously!? 4 hours? Come on, man. I'm actually probably doing this guy a huge favor by posting this here, now that I think about it. Oh well. He must be mocked. And I'm curious to see what it goes for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dietrich Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 he spelled industry wrong, so i wonder if a lot of people will even find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmorgan Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Wow, I didn't even notice that. Sucks for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Yeah I saw this on the NOFX Wiki the other day. What a douche. EDIT: He's actually taken the price down by $10. It was originally at $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocnypunk Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 if you didnt post it here, i would say no bidders at that starting price. Bomb the Music Industry has a small following, few of which go on ebay to look for their records. Those who want them know where and how to get them. however since you posted this here im sure some members will take a look and bid on it. so i would say $50 max will be the final price.

captainmorgan Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Well, I could delete my post. But if it's already on nofxwiki, then I imagine people already know about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmorgan Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 what an asshat. i was referring to the seller, not you! Oh, I know! I was just thinking about how I'm sort of helping him out, despite also thinking he's an asshat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Everyone here should be strong and not bid on it. Don't let him get away with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 This is really messed up. It's one thing if you bought it, held on to it and times got hard or you just don't collect anymore. But to have it up four hours after you bought it? That's just screwed up. I really wish I could say that this wouldn't sell but both bands have enough rabid fans that someone will bid. It's just a shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I really hope that someone didn't miss out on buying one at the release show because of this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flood Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 yeah i saw this saturday morning... the really sketchy thing is the kid started a new ebay account to sell it, because im sure its someone we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Seller: rnvntngaxlrose It's Flood in disguise! But seriously, I think the person just used that name to put people off the scent. He/she probably hates AM!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Flipping has become the name of the game. It sucks, but I've done it on a couple of occasions and I know other people have done it. It may be the unpopular opinion, but whatever someone does with something they bought is their own business really. Once they exchange money for an item that item becomes their property and if they want to sell it, who are we to stop them. Plus, in this case, it may give someone who wasn't at the show the opportunity to grab a rare record by a band they love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's more of an honor system...people can still do what they want even though it sucks. I couldn't get to the records release show (for international differences) so adammuzzy bought a copy for me. Is that deemed as being wrong? I love BtMI! more than most things so I'll never be flipping it onto the 'bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechevre Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Not to thread jack, but this happened last new years with the popes trio split. I got home probably around 2ish and there were 8 copies already up with BIN's of $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flood Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 i dont have a problem with people selling record on ebay, but its like dude.. let the ink dry on the cover before you go and sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this case is a bit over the top, especially noting that he bought the record only four hours before posting the auction. This flipping debate could go on forever. But I'm curious how many people have NEVER bought a record and turned it around quickly to make a buck or NEVER bought a record with the sole purpose of trading it for something else.
