longgoneloser Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 VENOM - Scandinavian Assault VENOM - French Assault Both were in some shitty punk store downstairs on that main road in Camden in the UK. The main road where all those freaky things hang on the walls. You all know the place if you've been there. ANYWAY, this was in December 2000, I went into this store, saw both for like 5 pounds each. Left them there for fear of spending all my money on the 2nd day of being in the UK. Same holiday, I was up in Newcastle a week later and went into this rad store that was just vinyl everywhere. I picked up a copy of the original 7" of RADIO BIRDMAN's TV EYE. I looked at it and thought "Awesome!" Then I put it down next to me to keep looking. I found some other records and put them on top. I them took the lot to the counter. Totally not realising I had left the Radio Birdman 7" on top of the records near where I was flicking through. Didn't pay any attention to the dude ringing up the records on the till so totally missed the fact he never rang it up on the till as I was engaged in a convo with 2 mates. Got the amount at the end 20 pounds, I thought that sounded right, and then walked out of the store thinking I had bought the Radio Birdman 7". In Nottingham the next day I pull the records out to show my mate who asked what I bought. It wasn't there. I freaked! Sent my friend in Newcastle to go back and see if the store still had it. The dude said he sold it that day. This 7" record is worth hundreds and it was just sitting in some small time store in Newcastle for 4 pounds. Never seen a copy of it since. I'm an idiot.

deadreckoning Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today - Purple Dude was selling it a show for $9. I thought that was a bit much for a used record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadmonkey Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I saw the Bronx, shortly after they released their first album, at CBGBs. When I went to the merch table, the guy was literally begging me to buy the vinyl instead of the CD. However, I wasn't into buying records at the time, so I didn't get it. Kick myself whenever I think about that time. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffnovak Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The only things I really regret were Nirvana - Love Buzz for $50 when I was in 10th grade ('96), since I thought $50 was too much for a 7" and the RFTC - tattoo 7" for $25, which I actually meant to buy, but didn't have the cash for that day, went back and it was gone. I still get mad at myself whenever I think about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searos Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 More Betterness by NUFAN. I can't find it anywhere anymore and it used to be so cheap that I was gonna wait and buy it with another sale and kept forgetting. Really sucks cause regardless of color I would love that album.

dawhizz Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I remember seeing Frightened Rabbit's Midnight Organ Fight with some regularity for reasonable prices on ebay a couple years ago and never pulled the trigger for no good reason. I never see it anywhere any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 sometimes i feel like i regret selling my GITD Frances The Mute set, but then i realize how bad those GITD records sounded, and how annoying the lock grooves were. it was one of those things that was nice to have but not to use, i guess.

KennyFuckingPowers Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I had a chance a couple months ago to get Silverstein's "When Broken Is Easily Fixed" on gray putty /114. I was pretty devastated after i got outbid. Hopefully if someone puts it up again i'll probably grab it. pretty sure I was bidding on the same one haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darylgregory Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Fuck record flipping. I hate seeing records that just got pressed (or repressed) that sell out before I get a chance to pick them up, and then they are on ebay or discogs for twice the price. So needless to say, I've let a few get away from me in the past. 213041284s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatew Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I wish I never sold my copy of Jimmy Eat World-Futures. Managed to find it for about $10 in Japan in 2010. Wish I still had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayteamanis Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 The Hot Topic near me, which no longer gets any exclusive vinyl, for a while had a TON of Blink HT exclusive presses for a LONG time because nobody around here buys vinyl. Up until a few months about June they had several tri-color TOYPAJ, and there were at least two each of +44 and Box Car Racer, but back then I didn't collect vinyl that much and had no idea what they were worth. THEY WERE EVEN ON CLEARANCE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
