dan Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 In case anyone still cares, I decided to take down the eBay listing. I think the thing that kept weighing on my mind was that the dude from the label could have just sold copies of these on eBay and made himself two grand, but chose to sell it to people for ten bucks instead. That says something about his morals, and I think I should have been more respectful of that. Although I didn't buy the record with the intention of selling it, me getting a copy of this was something sort of special, and I shouldn't have let my eyes fill up with dollar signs. Selling this could wait for a time when I actually need money instead of just wanting it. Thanks to the people that calmly and rationally explained their position of the argument and to those who considered my own. This was way too big of a moral dilemma for a record, haha.

adamlikesmusic Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 What? And if Jordan hears about this, I doubt he'll be sending any more out, if he even has any more. Funniest part is that none of this argument would've been brought up had the seller not posted this thread. I mean it's not like people who are interested wouldn't have found it on their own. what i'm basically saying is. why is it okay to flip other records but not this one? because there's an unadvertised source that MIGHT have a few left and MIGHT sell you one for $10 if you can find the contact information? What makes this different? That a lot of people on this board are happy in the butt for against me and have shared some time with the guy that put this out? Not sure if you read my responses in the other threads about buying records for profit, but I have never said I support any sort of buying for profit. And I'd say you've got some points (Out of respect. I honestly don't agree with any of what you said), but then you break out stupid terms like "happy in the butt" and "butt hurt". : The closest to "flipping" I've come is selling a copy of Reinventing Axl Rose on eBay, which fetched a whopping $5.50. (I had paid $12.99+shipping thinking it was a different color) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j4m35 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 if someone is going to spend 100 bucks on a record, that is their fault, not the sellers fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 I am doing what I want. It's not because other people called me a dick, but a few made a good point. I was already agonizing over this already (which is ridiculous since it's a record), but for now, I decided to keep it. I don't need the money anyway, and it's not like it's going to get less rare or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante3000 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Good move Dan! And in an a move in now way related to this thread wahtsoever, my copy of the 12" will be on ebay tomorrow. BID HARD MUTHAFUCKERS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cephcarn4 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I own two copies of this. Payed 10 dollars each from jordan about two years ago. I also own 5 copies of deathbeds and tons of doubles and even triples of rare records. I do this mainly for bartering value. In my eyes if you are selling something from your collection just to get somethin else for your collection theirs nothing wrong. Don't have sour grapes just because you missed the boat on a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have sour grapes just because you missed the boat on a good deal. see you're missing the point entirely. jordan does something cool and then kids cash in on him. makes it alot less likely that he will do something akin to this in the future... see my point?

dan Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 flood, your point was a major one for me it would really suck if this ebay sale made him think "fuck helping kids out when i could have just made a ton of money" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I had paid $12.99+shipping thinking it was a different color) I haven't, which is fine. Because the idea was that, generally speaking, why are the circumstances different than for any other record? Someone did something cool and people are spoiling it. Great. Communism was a great idea, too. You shouldn't disregard the validity of my arguments because of the terminology I used while wicked burnt out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 You are stuck with that record forever. Unless these arguments become null and void after a certain period of time, say 6 months or so when your car breaks down or something. Either way you are still doing it for the money and there is nothing wrong with that because we all need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
