drds89 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 It helps that wages are so good in Australia. 10 hours of work for me is nearly $250, and 10 hours wages is the most I am willing to spend on a single record Everyone's got a budget. Big or small is relative. And it's your $, no justification necessary. It's very good you're disciplined and sticking to your budget. When some things are unique, or very low pressing #, you never know if they'll come around again + there's no previous sale prices to go by. Then it gets a bit nerve wrecking when to throw caution to the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisapple Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 20 hrs left. Jump if you've been holding out on this. Sadly it doesn't look like he's going to make his goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering what he's at with the ebay auctions added in. I really wish I could afford to jump the 365 songs... I don't think it would be cool for multiple people to go in on it, but it would be neat idea if it weren't for these damned ethics!!! I just hope all this covers the legal fees!!!

kas1985 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Looks like he might reach his goal. Currently $660 short with about 45 minutes to go. Also, it looks like 3 people have ponied up for the "song a day" level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I just threw in $20 for the next Whirr - Distressor pressing. May as well keep that collection complete. Sadly it doesn't look like he's going to make his goal. It still gets funded even if the goal isn't reached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I am incredibly bummed that I couldn't get any test presses aside from the marshmallow ghost 10" given the extend of Graveface collection and also wasn't able to get the 4 or 5 things I was missing, but I am beyond thrilled that this went so well!! I'm sure I'll be able to get my mitts on the few elusive releases eventually (and on the bright side I have them all in at least one other pressing) but those test pressings will probably never turn up again. Anybody get the Toman -WWWWW test pressing they'd be willing to part with? Also, I'm beyond jealous of the folks who got the Schaff Talking Board and 365 songs tiers... Too damned broke planning a wedding in less than 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 i spent way too much but at the end of the day picked up some things that dont come along that often and spent $150 on what i envision as a great piece of art, all for a good cause. bummed that i fell so short on all the tests though (that 10 for $500 package doesnt look so bad now, although i know they were all less desirable releases, but still.)

enjoyadrian Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Was hoping to catch a copy of low level owl on silver. Never did, but got the marshmallow ghosts test 10", so pumped for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Was hoping to catch a copy of low level owl on silver. Never did, but got the marshmallow ghosts test 10", so pumped for that. I think only 2 of those went up. More on blue/green/brown were up which is strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
