deadendkids Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I'd like to see labels start attaching which #'d copies of records went to who, so they could tell what people were solely flipping records and either stop them from ordering multiples or stop them from ordering completely. so that the actual people who genuinely want/appreciate the records wouldn't have to pay these ridiculous prices.

But if you have order confirmation numbers then those numbers have to coincide somehow to who placed their order when. Basically i'm just saying if things were packaged in the order they were recieved it would make tracking the numbers very simple. But either way I know its never gonna happen, it was just a thought. Also i was the one who mentioned trying to license the albums to repress them. They said they werent sure if they were going to but it was something they had been discussing. I'm assuming the whole point of them doing these copies were to gauge the response for a repress and so kid dynamite had something special to sell at TIH.

hankmurphy Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I don't understand the USPS. My shipment notification came on the 25th, the tracking info says it was in Tennessee yesterday, and this came from upstate NY? I hope it gets here safely and soon!

deadendkids Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 so its better to just let people profit ridiculously off of it? i'm not saying you're wrong, i'm just saying its shitty either way. But if i could choose id rather it work out better for the people who actually wanted to own this because they are a fan of the band and like to collect the albums, not the people who just wanted to make fast money off of everyone else.

sharkticon Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 If people are readily willing to shell out the cash for it, who are you to stop them? Quit being so self-righteous. It's a bummer, but it's not going to be stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmythescumbag Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 If people are readily willing to shell out the cash for it, who are you to stop them? Quit being so self-righteous. It's a bummer, but it's not going to be stopped. This. In the end, it will never be fair to anyone/everyone who is a "fan" because a limited record that goes up (unannounced/leftover type deals/hype bands) for sale in the states will likely sell out before most international buyers have a chance at it unless they are up at some ungodly time to buy it (if announced)...and vice versa. This is where ebay comes into play. Unless you don't consider those outside of the western hemisphere "real fans/collectors of punk", you would have to agree that it kinda sucks to have to rely on ebay to get your hands on anything limited that sold out quickly. *shrugs shoulders* Supply and demand, it's a bitch sometimes.

hickey Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The argument of someone deserving a record more than someone else has been made before. It's silly. Regardless of a buyer's intent, no one is more deserving of one than anyone else. If you can't handle it, stop buying records now, because you're going to be really disappointed at some point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the joke's on Ronniethebear, as he's out $60 and only has a couple of crappy 12" records and a killer 10" record to show for it.
