batman Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think I'm almost done. Just need to pick up one more thing! This was a LOT more challenging than I anticipated. I really hope he likes everything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seangj Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have a few things for my person but having trouble finishing it off. ugh. Me too. There is one thing that is proving very hard to find. If I find it they will be very happy though. Also, I'll post my little about me thing today. Sorry SS for being a slacker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope he likes everything... I have a few things for my person but having trouble finishing it off. ugh. i've mostly spent the past couple weeks broke and heavily researching haha. i'm very excited that today is finally the glorious mid-month payday so i can finally start buying stuff. definitely more challenging than i expected, but fingers crossed that they're happy with what they get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I've got some stuff bought and plenty of ideas. Whether or not they will be liked, that I don't know. Good news is that ain't my problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 My problem is I just haven't been able to track down the piece that kind of pulls everything together. I've got a handful of smalls just have had some stuff falll through and some shit luck while trying to get the main piece. Ah well back to the drawing board. I've still got about 3 weeks so plenty of time. jtcohenour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Question. If you're broke, is it cool to send the person like 3 records that are relevant to their interests, in great condition, that you already own, and then a couple small things, to avoid spending a lot? I want to hook my SS up with awesome stuff, but most of it is stuff I already own, but are records that have definitely gained value. I'm trying to not cheap out, but I'm broke, ya know?

Personally it wouldn't bother me to get used records. Some stuff just can't be purchased brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtcohenour Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I just grabbed my person another record. It was used. Not much you can do when you buy a record that was only pressed once in the mid-90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejesseb Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Totally cool man, no one here should be a snob about used records. I'd be cool with it. Im buying one or two and probably gonna include one from my own collection in the package. Records are records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Tea Papi Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Is it okay to throw in something that I'd think they'd enjoy due the the bands having similar sonics and sounds to those that they enjoy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Tea Papi Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Why wouldn't it be okay? I'm just making sure as I'm not very familiar with the music they enjoy expect for a couple of bands (which I'm getting them) and I feel bad for just getting them 2 $20 records so I'm going to grab them some more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Tea Papi Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 ... why would anyone feel bad for buying someone 2 LP's......? Because everybody else is like "just track down awesome rare LP" "Ninth record! 1 more to go!" and I don't know I just don't want my person to feel left out. I don't know I'm worrying too much, becuase I had less money than I thought I would have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think Eric means well with these questions. I see what he's saying. With that said, do whatever you can/want for your recipient. Think of it like this... Would you be happy if what you're sending (not the same exact music, you know what I'm saying) showed up at your door? If so, you're doing it right.
