Derek™ Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I have no idea who queencityvinyl is, but she's off her goddamn rocker with most of her auctions. Making the rest of the flipper prices look rather normal, I'd say. (And these sold items of theirs? I have a hard time believing them.)

Derek™ Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 They post here too I shouldn't be surprised. I'm confident that 90%+ of the big flippers on eBay either post or lurk here. It's wishful thinking, but it'd be lovely if the boards were private, and made available only to registered users. And taking that daydream even further, I'd love to see some strict e-mail or IP bans on accounts if they're linked to these eBay clowns. mmhmm, emokid9963 and 213041284s 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just plain don't like you or your elitist attitude. edit: and I downvote all your posts Sweet. Hope you're able to breathe a little easier now. All those neg votes are definitely showing me. [edit] And so the proper tone is established here; [edit 2.0] I wanted to come back to this post to elaborate. First and foremost, I'm sorry you feel the way you do. There may be a few members on this board that I frequently disagree with, but I have zero animosity for any user on the boards. Regardless of how rough I may play around, it's the internet. The internet. If a stranger is knotting up your panties on a message board, you're doing it wrong. End of discussion. I kind of wish more people would acknowledge this more often. With that in mind, I'd say that I try not to step on [too m]any toes here on the boards. I've made some great friends through this community, and have scored many-a-fantastic records through it. Despite all the bickering and ridiculousness, I really do enjoy this forum. And I am grateful for everything in it, good or bad. Variety is the spice of life... and at the end of the day, wading through bitch-fests and petty behavior is worth it if I can have my laughs, deals, and opportunities to nerd out about music. But let's be real -- it's impossible to appeal to everyone. There is no way that 100% of this forum is going to like me. And quite frankly, I'm okay with that. But there is no point in bending over backwards for you or anyone else in an attempt to gain your approval. Win some, lose some is the proper mentality to embrace when making acquaintances on this board. Or anywhere else, for that matter, online or off. It's funny that you'd say I'm an elitist, or that I take an elitist approach with my posts. I've been a member on the boards longer than some people, sure... and I do have more posts than a good chunk of the VC population. But that certainly doesn't put me above anyone else. I know that, have always known that, and will always know that. And so should you. I was shat on when I first registered here at VC in the Proboard days. I've spent my time learning the ropes and being "victimized" by the veteran posters of this board. I was never above that, so please discard the idea that I view myself as some sort of higher entity here on the forums. Thanks. I poke fun at new people because it's entertaining. The last member I went off on was StrangeTerrain, only before having a sincere exchange of messages shortly afterwards. Feel free to ask him about it. I don't think the guy is any less intelligent than you or I; I merely had fun at his expense of being a newbie. If the difference in our post counts lead you to believe that makes me a "veteran elitist", then that's your problem. Certainly not mine. And if we're being honest, how boring would this board be if 100% of all members - new and old alike - didn't ask goofy questions or post some cringe-worthy threads from time to time? That's VC entertainment, bud. I'd really be an asshole if I let that slide by, untouched. Everyone wises up sooner or later. Get in the laughs while you can... especially if they're all in good jest. I occasionally make fun of the generic VC tastes because I'm 25 and no longer listen to the same bands I did in high-school. It's a free country; listen to what you like and disregard anyone who tries to tell you otherwise. Or get some thicker skin. I'm sorry that you (literally) own 40 NOFX 12"s. If I imply that you should listen to something other than pop-punk for a change, that's not me being a dick. It's forum banter based off your specific collection. I've harped on people for binging on Hot Topic releases exclusively, and for having mallcore tastes. Get over it. There is no official standard for what constitutes Good Music. And if there was, I'm sure that I'd personally miss the mark myself. And lastly, flipping. This has been a heated topic for as long as I can recall being a member. There are two very valid sides to the argument. At the end of the day, it is a shitty thing to do, but it is hardly illegal. Capitalism, free market, so on, so forth. We've all read the debate. But regardless of what your stance is, I don't think it's "elitist" of me to point and laugh at some dude trying to sell three records - all released within the last 10 years - for over $1,000. That's not snobbery. It's ridiculous. And I see no wrong in pointing that out. As far as that "gem" of a thread goes; I'd call it tough love. It's common sense and sale / trade know-how that wasn't elaborated on, in the initial guidelines thread. I don't view myself as Moses delivering the ten commandments, if that's the impression you get. The words ring true, but they do not carry more weight simply because I posted them. Copy and paste them in a new thread; I'll delete the one that's up and you can have "all the glory" or whatever delusion you've got in your mind. So that's basically it. New members. Music. Flipping. Those are three things I have fun with. If you feel the urgency to be butt hurt about that, that's your loss. I can't be bothered to care, truthfully. And if you feel the need to vote down everything I say in hopes of making yourself feel better, you've got much larger problems in life than online etiquette. If you're really that uncomfortable with the posts I make, how about you speak up about them? Call me out. Either bluntly, or with a subtle remark. Or PM me, so long winded explanations like those don't clutter up threads where they don't belong. Anything is more respectable than trying to anonymously take me down a peg with your tail between your legs.

I know another site I post on has a noobs section and you need a certain amount of rep points to make it to the mains ( which is otherwise hidden). Would maybe not deter flippers it would make it that much harder for them to figure out the second stuff pops online or what stores they can be found in.

Would maybe not deter flippers it would make it that much harder for them to figure out the second stuff pops online or what stores they can be found in. It'd require some additional work as far as monitoring registration, but you're correct: it's very possible to limit certain sections of the forums to guests, or members with 500+ posts, 1,000+ posts, etc. A lot of shareware forums will display just a few "casual" boards, and save the legitimate ones for registered members. You're also right in guessing that it wouldn't deter flippers completely. It'd be very easy to register and participate here on the forums while flipping records on the side, if you so chose. But I really do like your idea of having a "public" release board, where everyone is allowed to enjoy discussion of new albums and tentative release dates. And then a hidden board where spontaneous POs drop, or you see those lovely threads akin to "a box of this incredibly rare, OOP record was uncovered in storage. Act quick if you want one!" I doubt it'd ever happen, but it's a fun concept to entertain. 213041284s and russell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went ahead and bought it because that's the best price I've ever seen on it. Probably a Canadian press. Got my copy of this the other day and it sounds great.

jtcohenour Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 This is a rare LP but usually it goes for around 175-200. This person is asking 300 BIN, while rare, that is one hell of a markup. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=2&toolid=10044&campid=5335970786&customid=&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466&item=251422803778 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
