coldwind Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 fuck my useless aussie dollar. its at 66 cents at the moment - a full third wiped off the value in the space of the month. which means, my days of buying vinyl from the US are over... ...hopefully, only for a short time though (if the aussie can regain some value). really wanted that blue set too. shit. It's at 66 cents now!!? holy shit, and here i was going nuts when i heard on the news yesterday about it hitting 74 cents..And to think only a couple of months ago we were almost level with the US dollar at 97c This blows..

I did just after i posted actually, and to think when i first heard about this whole 'US Financial Crisis' debacle i was under the impression things would even back out somewhat..instead our currency's dropping like a stone. I'm with you, im going to have to really cut down on buying records from the US for a while i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 My brother just called and told me that he got me a blue one. He had heard bitching and moaning about the box set but didn't know that I secured one. So he went and ordered me a blue one when they went up. Awwww...sibling love...

mxv Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 What was the box set? The first i heard of it was in this thread. I ordered a blue one last night and I guess it was a good thing I did since they are gone according to one of the above posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dollar should stabilize in the New Year though, probably back to around/above 75c. The US$ is over-inflated at the moment because people there are repatriating their currency to buy Treasury bonds. It's just a short-term bounce.

deafmx Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 so the blue is completely gone? anyone heard the numbers on the regular pressing? i can't believe they blew through that color so fast. not going to even bother with it if the blue isn't available now. waited so long for nothing guess i'll put it all towards the pelican/TAAS split instead!

mxv Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 My blue copy came really quickly and I was totally impressed with the care taken in packaging the thing so it wouldn't get damaged. Unlike all the other times I ordered from BCD, this time they took the time to do a stellar job in making sure the records would be least likely to be harmed. It was actually worth the expensive shipping this time for the packing job. Since I always slammed them in the past for their inflated shipping and lazy/poor packing, I had to point out when they did it right.

jhulud Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 I should have my blue copy that my brother got me today. At least that's what the UPS tracking thing said...and it's always pretty spot-on. Not sure if they're working today being Columbus day and all. I did see FedEx trucks out on the road today so far though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 sold out! You sure? I just clicked on the BCD store link and it seems all three color set are back up...including the clear blue one... Nevermind...I'm an idiot and didn't read thoroughly where it was "out of stock" and you don't have option to add anything to your cart.

jhulud Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Latest blog post from HH Tuesday, October 14, 2008 Before you buy from EBAY... Before you consider buying something recent of ours on ebay...like, oh shall we say, the new Melvins 4xLP on the Hydra Head exclusive color vinyl set of blue...drop us a line and see if we've got it in stock. Someone left a comment earlier pointing out this ebay auction so we figured a quick reminder couldn't hurt...if you are interested in getting the Melvins 4xLP on blue (or on either of the other sets) ($49 each) then please email [email protected] with yr request. Also, in case yr curious, the blue color set is limited to 600 sets. Chel has also got the comic ($6) and belt buckle $15) available as well if either of those are up your alley. Just like so many of you outed dubmaverick last month, please don't hesitate to forward any info you got on other ebay opportunists. And for the record, we don't have a problem with ebay or with folks auctioning titles of ours that have clearly been in their collections...its the folks that buy to sell...the ones that don't even listen to the shit they are buying...those folks we could do with out. Thanks again... posted by Hydra Headlines at 1:05 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
