But why are two of the same exact test press necessary?  If you're concerned about maintaining your color consistency, I'd even be willing to trade my black /200 AFS press for one of your tests. It's a pretty good deal.  Just think about it.

 

this is hands down the worst trade proposal I have ever read.

You could have explained the game, then, if you were more concerned about filling me in rather than insulting me.

 

If there's a super small number of an album pressed, say 1000. Way more than 1000 people would want that album. But this guy, has around 8-10 copies of this record. (Wikipedia shows 11 separate variants of "TDAG," he said he's still working on finishing it, and he also has two test presses.) This would make the number of this record, 990. But still, even more than 999 want this album. This guy has MULTIPLE copies this record, when he should only need one to listen to and enjoy (MAYBE TWO if he wanted to keep one and play one). Say 10 or 20 people start working on this collection for themselves. That's a considerably smaller amount of people who get to purchase and enjoy the album. For absolutely no good reason.

 

Not to mention, copies of this record go for $300 a pop. Really disappointing for a guy like me who just wants to buy a copy of the album, listen, and enjoy, and doesn't need a super limited edition to do so.

 

Did the math, Wikipedia's listing of the album's pressing information says there should be 9200 copies of the record in existence. (I remember reading about 20 test pressings being made so we'll say 9220.) I know that's way more than the 1000 I used in my example, but when they can go for $300 a pop, it's still nearly impossible to just get a copy. I know yours (I think you said you had a TCR white which was /3000) went for $115, which is still a large amount for a record for a college guy like me, but I would still try to pay that. 

 

It's just a shame that you guys think going WAY overboard and buying 10 copies of an already limited album is okay, even when a guy like me would give his right arm for just one.

You win the game. I will keep my hard earned 14 copies and let the incompetent suffer.
