apirk Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 It kind of sucked that like 80% of the stuff went up during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathroommonkey Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I didn't buy anything, nor did i see much that I actually wanted. Overall I had fun hoping for something good and talkin' shit in this thread, so a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Kudos to Jack White and Co for being able to get hype for their products this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Kudos to Jack White and Co for being able to get hype for their products this way. Pretty much this. People are falling over themselves to pay absurd prices for things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Pretty much this. People are falling over themselves to pay absurd prices for things. Yeah. The best part is that since there is hype they can charge a premium, then flippers get it and can still up the prices for people who are mad that they missed that 1 second window of time to grab it.

dreamover Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 The fact is, Jack keeps just about every piece of vinyl (save a b-side or two and the vault stuff that's initially available to everyone) in print. The music is always available on high-quality 180 gram vinyl. The colors are rare and it's fun to collect, but the music is still there. Can you imagine if he limited his records to a few thousand? They'd all be worth a ton more. There aren't many labels these days that keep everything in print or a label doing as much to keep vinyl alive as third man. bathroommonkey and 3fingersdown 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersdown Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Pretty much! If you want to listen to Third Man stuff on vinyl you can, and it costs you as little as any other record. If you want that same record on limited edition colored plastic, well you're a collector and you'll be racked over the coals by Third Man, EBay, your Grandma ect....

jvphotoandvideo Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Ever wonder why third man pressing info is undisclosed? What if he just keeps pressing color variants and selling them just to fuck with everyone? That'd be hilarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Ever wonder why third man pressing info is undisclosed?

Just the vault stuff and a few other things aren't. bathroommonkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh_tluck Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 not that anyone wants to see this thread at the top of the page anymore, but.... I was reading through some comments about the refresh-a-thon on the vault site, because I wanted to hear other people's experiences, complaints, etc and I came across this quote from Ben Swank: "Now, saying all of that I would again like to state that there will be a Vault member only store in the future where limited items will be sold only to Platinum members. It's a work in progress and it's happening in the coming months." not sure if this has been posted before but I thought i hadn't heard of it before and thought it was interesting.

soundofsulfur Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Anyone listened to their inverted lightning bolt pressing? Was the sound the same as the original on black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Anyone listened to their inverted lightning bolt pressing? Was the sound the same as the original on black? I'm confused, people actually play Third Man variant records? I thought they were just for decorative purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrom92 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'm confused, people actually play Third Man variant records? I thought they were just for decorative purposes. i'm almost positive it would use the same plates. But you know what, you can never be too sure. I think I'll wait to open mine till someone can confirm the deadwax etchings. I don't wanna risk getting one that sounds worse compared to the black vinyl.

jerseydave77 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 If that's yours, I'd be pumped. eBay gold my friend. THIS! Post a link if you do. I'd be curious to see it. The transition variants are always a heck of a lot of fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 so far like 95% of these are transition variants like that. so the real ones that will be 'ebay gold' are the actual bolts if things keep up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 ^^^ Interesting that so many are so off from the mock-up. Where are you seeing photos? Curious to see what I might be getting today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
