thebiglebowski Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 http://www.punknews....for-slim-dunlap Article has all the details. Seems pretty fucking stupid to me. Instead of making 1000 or 2000 or however many to make money for the guitarist AND get a record to all their fans they set up a system where a few fans are gonna pay a lot of money and the rest don't get a record. But bummer on the stroke despite my mini rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imkylejackson Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 It's a shame that I'll never be able to afford a copy, however, maybe an album/festival dates/tour (far fetched) could come of this. The rest of the interview on Rolling Stone has Paul quoted as saying, "Let's knock out a record like this." Boioioioioioioing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumtaurus Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Would gladly take tickets to a Replacements gig over owning the EP... fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cephcarn4 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 so how much do u think these will fetch?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imkylejackson Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 so how much do u think these will fetch?? I would guess at least $200 each. The fact that they are more popular now than they have been in years + renewed interest in records = $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelthibodeau Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I would guess at least $200 each. The fact that they are more popular now than they have been in years + renewed interest in records = $ This I don't see any copies going lower than 200-250$, easily more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 And they probably have more than a few 40+ year old fans with good jobs who aren't scrambling to make rent each month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Great news but shitty that I'll probably never own one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 What's up with Chris Mars not taking part? I know his art is huge but I'm sure the others have limited time as well. I won't judge but I am curious since I'm a huge fan of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't judge but I am curious since I'm a huge fan of his. considering this is a benefit for Slim Dunlap, I'm gonna guess that is has something to do with a grudge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear801 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Got one! I had no plans to buy one until they announced that Paul, Tommy, and Chris got together and signed all of them. Couldn't resist after that. ended up buying one of the cheaper ones. i watched the auctions all day. Did anyone else grab one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I was hoping a few would stay on the lower, but still out of my price range. There's a chance these might drop in price a bit after the hype dies down. For everyone bitching about availability, this is going to be released as a 12" this spring too.

About three times over my normal comfort zone spending-wise, but I figure if the money's going to Slim... Got #161. $330 or so. Yikes.

apirk Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I really wanted one set a limit, raised that limit, then decided it was just too much. I am glad it is being released again later and am really happy they were able to raie so much money for SLim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I bid a couple of these up for Slim, but knew I had no chance at getting one. Glad it was a success. Perfectly content to wait for the 12" in spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear801 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 well i woke up this morning thinking "Did i really just spend $300 on one record??" But you only live once I guess. I can't believe the people who paid $500+. Some in the thousands. Good cause tho. Definitely my favorite band throughout highschool and to have most of their signatures is pretty cool. Now i'm off to go auction off some stuff to help pay for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpearin Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Now i'm off to go auction off some stuff to help pay for this. Yeah. This. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear801 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah. This. check in and post when yours comes in. I think it said early March? I just read that they raised over $100k for Slim yesterday on those 250 EPs. That's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear801 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 if anyone missed out and has $700 or so laying around they relisted #184/250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Because some douchebag from NJ won the auction for like $300+, listed the LP on eBay for $800, and when he didn't get any bites, refused to pay for the one that he won. Hope this one goes higher than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
