avery Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 my store has 'em for $9.98 what store is that? if more people can confirm the black ones have the etching, i'll just save myself a bunch of money and get one of those. also, glad you mentioned there's a sticker on the limited edition colored ones. i think that's what i saw in some google images, but they're so small, i couldn't read them and be sure.

whoatherechunk Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 i have a black one and it's not an etching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damagdsole Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 got this is on gold from a friend for $10 right after it came out, he was broke and neither of us pobably had any idea it would be worth something later, they were pretty obscure at the time such a good record though, no way i could ever sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 My black vinyl copy has the etchings in the dead wax. I bought this right when it came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avery Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 huh, ya, it sounds like it's not so consistent with the black copies. I picked a gold one up off amazon a couple days ago for a pretty penny (although definitely not the "couple hundred" some people were asking. the guy who sold it to me had no idea it was etched until I asked him, too, haha.

booyahachieved Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Whoever was asking a couple hundred for it was definitely trying to gouge. It's never broken $100 on ebay. http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=illusion+of+safety And as for an etching... who cares? Are you buying this to look at it or to listen to it?

Are you buying this to look at it or to listen to it? i think it's fair to say everyone is interested in different things when it comes to collecting vinyl. personally, i want the trust lyrics etched on my record because i'm a giant fan of that song (as well as the band). you might not see that as a big deal and that's cool, just like i don't care for collecting every single variant something comes out on. so for thrice, i buy it to look at and to listen. with every other musician though, i mostly only buy to listen. as for the cost, i think some people are asking for a lot because: 1) they don't want to let it go unless it's for a giant profit 2) the new record's given the band some new/revived attention so people are capitalizing off that i wanted it now, so i paid the guy who asked for the least and it was still a bit over the average on popsike, but oh well. it wasn't on an auction site so it's not going to screw up other peoples' reference for price setting. Mine has "you could snap my neck" etched into the matrix on one side and "you could save my life" on the other. is yours black or gold? i'm just merely curious now.

Derek™ Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Would you be comfortable sharing how much you paid? You've just got me super curious. Not that it really matters - I'm a firm believer in spending how much you want on what you want. No questions beyond that. If you don't feel like divulging, that's also quite alright.

travis Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I cant believe what the black copies are going for on ebay now. This use to go for like $10-$12 tops. Reminds of how From Here to Infirmary would go for around that same price and then one day the ebay prices just shot thru the roof for them.

The one that ended last night on ebay went from $22 to 60+ in the last hour. REALLY!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It seems like it only takes 1 auction, timed when there's no others up to compare to, that drives the prices through the roof. Since most buyers on eBay don't look much farther than on-site to compare prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesar11 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 10 Year Anniversary Repress? It is 2012 after all. Time for some labels to come a calling.... Matt (Animal Style Records) should try and do it. He did Identity Crisis so why not right? Just as long as R.J. has nothing to do with it, I'm alright with it.

Derek™ Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Just as long as R.J. has nothing to do with it, I'm alright with it. Pretty much this. Though it doesn't pertain to TIOS, this is Thrice related. And a little face-palm worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
