radioclash27 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 We've all had one, weather it be an eBay rip off or a flood. Post your worst record nightmare.... A few months ago i moved into a new apartment and got a new entertainment center. I decided to put my record player on a low shelf in it and while I was listening to my NOFX- The Decline on clear wax, my cat jumped onto the turntable, ruined the record with her claws and broke the arm of the player.

jhulud Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 ^^ Damn I have two that come to mind: - Years and years ago I traded a gold copy of Get Up Kids FMM and the guy never sent his record out. I don't even recall what I traded for. Ever since I had been hating myself for being stupid about it. Only until very recently was I able to replace that record...and in even better shape than I originally had it. - Getting a record that is claimed to be in perfect shape with no flaws to only show up scuffed up and with evident scratches. And then the seller say that it can't be because they record had been in the jacket and never played for two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Just remembered another one. The seller sent me the record in a bubble mailer...no cardboard or anything inside to protect the record. Just threw the record in a bubble mailer and sent it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I paid $17 for a record on eBay but never got it. That's about the extent of my bad experiences. Have had to wait a while occasionally, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 missed a copy of Muse - Absolution at the record store I work at by 30 minutes. it was there for $8 and my tattoo artist (also a very good friend) picked it up before i got to work. he taunted me with it for months.

thomas Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Just remembered another one. The seller sent me the record in a bubble mailer...no cardboard or anything inside to protect the record. Just threw the record in a bubble mailer and sent it out... That's how Doghouse sent my Woodson 7". It was not a bubble mailer really, just has a small amount of padding.

heavyheavylowlow Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 My dad gave me his copy of Jethro Tull - O God and I lost it, he's still pissed at me. (Apparently it's pretty valuable, I don't know though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 i bought a xboundx test pressing (jay shevchuk's band pre-kid dynamite) with a none more black s/t 7" for $90 and both were slightly warped. the test pressing was pretty dirty and had some surface marks. the guy who sold it to me (who was in xboundx and nmb for a very brief while) told me he'd send me some extra stuff. but he never did.

xxmartinxx Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 There was a time when I didn't have a stereo that had a phono-in and thus I had no turntable. At that same time I was more interested in buying guitar gear than my record collection, so I sold a lot of it off. One of the records was the Fix "Cold Days" discography LP. Years later I had plenty of guitar gear, so I bought a vintage tube stereo and awesome turntable started putting back together my dismantled record collection. For the longest time (a few years) I couldn't find anyone selling that record (for a reasonable price). I had friends that had it (including the one I sold mine to), but they wouldn't sell it to me. Anyway... I finally get the record. I get home, excited. Put it on my record player, listened to it, thought "Fuck yeah!", and listened to more records. Well, like a retard I didn't consider how hot my stereo gets (tubes get REALLY hot) and had placed it in the white sleeve on the top of it. About 20 minutes into listening to other records I realize this, think "FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and pick the record. It's so melted that as I lift it off the stereo it falls into a 90 degree angle. I almost cried. The worst warp in the history of warps. I ended up getting another copy from another friend (who wanted the warped record in part of the trade, oddly enough), and of course Touch And Go reissued the Fix stuff a few years ago so all the heartbreak was for nothing, but it still hurts to think about.

faith Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 when i sold half my collection to stay longer in Minneapolis with my girlfriend (worth it but still terrible feeling) when i got screwed on a NOFX - Surfer on blue wax, never got it. Got a partial refund, but man... When I got my Loved Ones 10" cracked. Still waiting on the other copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neurosis138 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I got ripped off on ebay to the tune of $450 for a Misfits Bullet 7" first pressing. It made me sick, but I got over it. The guy lived in Brazil, so I didn't have much recourse. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
