kriss Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Don't know if there's anyone looking for this but there's a copy with the screened bag at Reckless for $70. http://www.reckless.com/index.php?keywords=Alkaline+trio&format=&cond=&store=&is_search=true&srch=Search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaminorthreat Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 that's interesting because you rarely see one with the bag. i've seen the halloween 7" in reckless a few times for between 40-50 bones and really considered it. i dunno if i would have paid 30 bucks extra for the bag though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Last time i saw it at reckless it was $45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 that is a crazy good price on halloween with the bag. the #1 copy that's on eBay is a fake. it was an unnumbered copy that the owner just wrote in "01" before the /3000. the real copies are numbered in pen, and all with 4 digits (aka 0001/3000, 0002/3000, etc.) hopefully nobody is tricked.

Good catch. I wasn't going to bid because the starting bid is more than I'd pay, even for the real #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 this happens way more than you'd think. and people fall for it all the time. i've seen #666 for sale a few times, from a few different sellers. all looked different. i've been lucky enough to own a few different copies of the Halloween 7" over the years, so i know what they should look like. once you do, it's super easy to spot a fake. normally when a seller is selling a "premium" number and there isn't a photo listed on the auction of the back of the jacket that shows the number, you can bet it's a fake.

mrc Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 whats the deal with un numbered copies? i got mine when they had that "we have left overs and if you join the blood pact you will get one free while they last" deal and mine is numbered.

danthemjfan23 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 what do you mean, what's the deal with them? i'm not sure i understand the question... when you press a record (and print jackets), they give you a +/- 10% range for your run. basically nobody ever gives you less than what you order, but if you get more, then you just have some extra ones to sell/give away/burn/whatever. usually, not an issue. when you order jackets with "___/3000" printed directly on them, however, it's a problem you have to deal with if they send you 3,200 records and jackets. instead of going with the burn/whatever options from above, they decided to sell/give away. but they weren't going to number anything 3,001/3,000. so they just left them blank. and therein lies the rub.

mrc Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I just figured they gave away all the numbered copies at the show, and didn't know if the unnumbered were band copies, or ordered straight from Asian man, or something.... i guess they were just mixed in with the rest of the copies.

danthemjfan23 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 the cap at metro is 1,100 or so, if i'm not mistaken. everybody who was at the show got one, and even though there were 2 shows, there were still plenty leftover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoriley Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 So the unnumbered copies are more rare! What are they thinking trying to pencil a "cool" number in, rather than saying, The "rare" overage /100 unnumbered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake number? that one actually looks real. he hadn't posted a picture of the back, so i asked him to. either it's real, or he did a REALLY good job faking it.
