isavedlatin54 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Tried to convince my girlfriend that I could use this for my Christmas present from her. She said no. my girlfriend told me she actually got this for me as a christmas present cause I almost went and bought it myself. I only have a few of these but yea, i am pretty stoked to get it.

julianisdead Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Ordered. This is pretty much an awesome box set of some of my favorite records ever, so the price wasn't that big of an issue for me. Up until this last record, Death Cab had a pretty much flawless discography, so they are the perfect band to make a box set of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedinexile Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 So I've decided that this is too expensive for me. Although I like their earlier albums, Transatlanticism is one of my favorites of all time. If someone who wants this box set is willing to sell me their copy, send me a PM.

kylet Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Sold my Death Cab records on ebay to fund this. Got $90 for Photo Album, $25 for Something About Airplanes and $60 for Transatlanticism. I'm sure ebay charges are gonna rape me, but still made dropping $250 on this a little easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefoxUSSR Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Sold Photo Album last year for $70 after doing a 24/96 recording of it. No DCFC since. I also have a horribly dirty copy of "something about airplanes". Wish they would put Stability & Forbidden out as a package :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr. sincere Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Wow. I can't even imagine the incredible justifications that were made in the minds of the people* who bought this. Sorry, I don't mean to sound shitty, but if anything screams "collector mentality," it's this. Edit: SOME of the people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2020 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Wow. I can't even imagine the incredible justifications that were made in the minds of the people* who bought this. Sorry, I don't mean to sound shitty, but if anything screams "collector mentality," it's this. Edit: SOME of the people. It is pricey. I sold the records I already had to help both fund & justify getting this. Even then I put it off for awhile but it'll be nice to have the EPs.

somethingvinyl Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Wow. I can't even imagine the incredible justifications that were made in the minds of the people* who bought this. Sorry, I don't mean to sound shitty, but if anything screams "collector mentality," it's this. Edit: SOME of the people. Two of the records in this box set can cost you around $200 ALONE because they're OOP. So, how is paying $250 for SEVEN records unreasonable? Oh, I know...

mindovermatter Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Nope. 250 / 7 = $35.71 each For a brand new, retail LP...that is ridiculous. We shouldn't just accept eBay-level price gouging as the norm for brand new releases just because the OG is tough to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 but if anything screams "collector mentality," it's this. how so? there's no variants, no splatters. there's three records not available anywhere else. in the set. people spend more on brand new records. it is pricy, but i bought all the originals at normal prices and sold them all for the exact cost of the set and not a penny more. so i'm getting updated pressings, 3 records not available otherwise and a fancy ass box for free. i'm a sucker for a nice box set.
