moonbeams Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Anyone here break up a box set or feel it's a taboo? According to Discogs, its unacceptable behavior. It feels like a violation against collectordom, but why should you have be stuck with a whole box when you just want a few pieces? I've done it once and am questioning it with another. I would prefer to have the original records, but some are too difficult/expensive to find. But I surely only need one copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar Shane Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 In the case of the "Alexisonfire box set," all I really want is Crisis. I don't see why it'd be a bad thing to piece it out to other people that want one specific record without paying for the whole thing.

moonbeams Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 ive considered doing this with my bad religion box, but i just can't bring myself to. This is what I'm thinking about. I would like black copies of everything, but A New America and Into The Unknown are rather costly. The set is going for $300+ now, but that's just $20 a record. You can get more money by selling them individually. I've already shipped this overseas twice, so I've put a lot of money into it already.

Ha, I've got work at 4am, hard to do anything and be coherent that early. So what if your wife is overseas. Are you only capable of doing things when she's around?

Are you only capable of doing things when she's around? If she were here now I wouldn't be on a message on Friday night! She's been stuck overseas since Dec, so in one month you can sigh a big sigh of relief because there will be a reduction in Moonbeams threads... unless I post in the daytime, suckers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw88 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I really have trouble discerning if Moonbeams is a sentient being or some sort of highly specific, highly advanced AI that ponders the logistical conundrums of being a consumer of vinyl records. hudsoncomplex, jacktownjim, SeeMoreGlass and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickey Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I guess you can do what you want, but I wouldn't break up a set. I'd rather sell the original individual copies and make a buck - I did that with my Lillingtons records and it paid for the box set four times over.

moonbeams Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 I really have trouble discerning if Moonbeams is a sentient being or some sort of highly specific, highly advanced AI that ponders the logistical conundrums of being a consumer of vinyl records. The truth is, and this is something I'm proud of so no need to hide it, I'm high-functioning autistic. So I have this highly analytical brain, but not the best social skills, so hopefully that explains "moonbeams threads." Also, I doubt that I'm the only one here. I just like discussing these things.
