danthemjfan23 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 not sure if this is the right place for this thread, but i thought this was funny.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200295821736&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010 http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Falcon-God-Dont-10-LP-Red-333-Alkaline-Trio_W0QQitemZ200297927328QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item200297927328&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318 http://cgi.ebay.com/FALCON-God-Dont-Make-No-Trash-10-red-alkaline-trio_W0QQitemZ220341607003QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item220341607003&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318 all these people are expecting to get like $90 because they've seen it sell for that recently. it'd be one thing if there had been more of these copies available to the public, and then maybe all these red copies going up for sale on eBay could have been from them. but i remember how many people were trying whatever they could to buy/trade for this record on the message board (including myself - although i already got mine... thanks divaface) and didn't even get responses to PMs. i just think this is a shitty way to act. isn't this board supposed to be all about looking out for each other? helping each other get the records we're looking for? just sayin.

machiel Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah it's shitty, but people can/may do whatever they want with the record. I can't judge them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabepunktony Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 There are more than enough copies out there, both in and out of co-op members' hands, so I don't see why this couldn't be bought/traded for if the person who wanted it would make their desire known and could be patient enough to find the right trader. I also don't see how one person's inability to obtain something is somehow directly the fault of another person selling theirs on eBay.

ppmbruiser Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 wanna know a place where you wouldn't get shafted like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 wanna know a place where you wouldn't get shafted like that? Hmmm....the PPMB perhaps? C'mon Phrank...no one is going to take the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppmbruiser Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I won't let something like other people not joining in keep me from trying! If that were the case I'd have quite playing music years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppmbruiser Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 also: they'd probably get shafted harder there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 This happens all the time with every new record anyone would want. Kids get it and then someone sells the first one (it goes for a boatload) and then everyone who may not want theirs sells it and the price plummets. It's pretty regular and the same reason I'm not selling mine right now. Look at Gaslight Anthem, none of their shit was on ebay until that one white and red splatter. Once that sold for like $180 or some shit, the market was flooded with everyone trying to sell anything Gaslight related ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it only went for $80, but it was so weird because it was still in print at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh8282 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I hate it when people don't even bother to reply to my PM's. So rude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But regardless the first splatter went for way more than I ever would have assumed and then from that point on it was all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
