shauncitrus Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 The band just posted a blog on their site saying that because of the exchange rate they'll be selling the box for $200 tonight in Vancouver! Holy fuck, that's retarded! If they sell each LP for $15 that would total $60... so the question is are the rest of the contents worth $140? I highly doubt it. I don't think i even have a spare $200 to spend on this. Bum out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafmx Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 $150 is an insane amount for a band to charge for a box set . Granted , I'm sure its fuckin bad ass and all . I guess when it comes down to it the band reaps the benefits . Hopefully this will deter the flippers . Just like the Isis box set : just like the Melvins boxset!

kyle Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Was able to grab me a box set and didn't even have to stand in line! My friends work there so they just went in before they opened the door and bought it for me. Anyways, I'm kinda disappointed by the box set. It's just the 4 LPs in a thin cardboard box and a black evelope with some stuff in it. I don't see how they justified selling it for $150, it reeks of greed. I'm going to consider selling it.* I dunno, it's pretty cool that it's limited and all that, plus I got number 007/250 which is neat. I just can't get over the fact that they could have sold this for half the price and still made money off it. *PLEASE DO NOT PM/EMAIL/RESPOND ASKING ABOUT THE BOX. If I do decide to sell it I will put up a post about it. Also, if I do sell it will be for cost + shipping, no gouging here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 $150x250 copies = $37,500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambomb Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 $150x250 copies = $37,500. Like I said earlier , retarded . I could see if the band paid out of pocket to have 250 copies of each record pressed specifically for these sets, but that's not the case . The fact that there's random shit tossed in each one to make it unique is pretty cool, not 150 beans of cool in my book . Anyway , congrats to any die hard fans that snagged this at the shows.

Haha not creepy at all. To be honest I felt like everyone was staring at me as I walked past them with that box set under my arms that they had been waiting in line an hour and a half for. I was kinda worried someone was going to follow me to my car, beat me up and take my copy! Anyways, I got to the venue at 5:45 but Marty offered to buy the set for me so we sat in the bar instead of standing in line! Next time we'll get some beers before the show together!
