Guest cewillm Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 is Hot Topic raking in the $$$$ even with the clearance prices from clearing out so much vinyl so fast? Well keep in mind that all the vinyl is from Shockhound (which failed and was owned by HT) so the vinyl sales are damage control. It's just liquidating assets and at this point they'll still be coming out ahead even if each LP is 99 cents. Then again, judging from the huge haphazard clearance section of every Hot Topic, the company seems to thrive on letting shit sit around for eternity.

fitterhappier Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I order more stuff this morning, just got an email saying they've already shipped it. Are these vinyl covered with smallpox or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Jealous... But why did it take you so long to get American Don and/or Don Cab 2? American Don is by far my favorite DC album. I don't know. I have all the CD's. Just worked out that way. Not I need "For Respect" which I just missed an eBay auction for. Amazon's got it for $12: http://www.amazon.com/RESPECT-Vinyl-DON-CABALLERO/dp/B0000019JX/ref=tmm_vnl_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1305844259&sr=1-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall probably got about 10 records for like $50 pretty good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabe Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Travis, any idea if other Canadian shipping options are going to be added? Even with this sale, $38 shipping for 2 LPs isnt worth it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Travis, any idea if other Canadian shipping options are going to be added? Even with this sale, $38 shipping for 2 LPs isnt worth it... Not before this sale is over. No idea when the international shipping prices will be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youmightbewrong Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I think somebody is pissed about all the clearance packing they have to do. The first batch I got was literally packaged the best I've ever seen. Individually wrapped in lp bubble wrap then secured with the brown paper tightly on both sides along with a piece of cardboard over the top and more brown paper to ensure that nothing was moving, but with this packing job I can't believe everything came to me in one piece: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yikes, sorry about that. Hopefully the records are still in good shape :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youmightbewrong Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 ;)Yeah, they are actually in perfect condition. I was scared to look at em though, after I saw that they were just free ballin' it in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cewillm Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'm laffing over how the packaging quality has progressively decreased over the last couple days. Individually-packed LPs -> bunch of LPs in a bubble mailer inside a box -> bunch of LPs inside a box with some paper wadding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 This sale rules! Got a 2xLP (Brutal Truth) and a t-shirt for $10 before shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 So I never got an email but apparently it's double clearance right now. Picked up MTTS, Glassjaw at full price. Then Leatherface, AWS, and Strung out at double clearance and the girl there saw I had 2 HT+1 cards and combined them and pushed me over the 15% off so I got an extra 15% off on top. Hey Travis, is there anywhere to put customer comments for HT? The sales reps around here are always awesome to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
