adaytoforget Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Anyways.... Have Tom or any of the other band members revealed anything about this upcoming gold package? (other than that it is delayed twice now). Delayed once and no word yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Shankly Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Just won a bid on S/T from Electronic Bay for $40...did I pay too much? I think that's pretty okay for S/T considering some people are already selling it for over $100. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? would have normally cost me cost + $42 to ship it.....so $40 for you is pretty sweet, especially after market i suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I did alright. I'm really excited because I'm very, very close to completing my blink collection. I was just looking for some other people's opinion! :-) After S/T, all I have left to get is Cheshire Cat and The Mark, Tom, & Travis Show.

jaxvinyl Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 How do these people even guarantee a copy? Ridiculous. Shouldn't be too hard for the guy/girl. If they stay vigilant and catch these right when they drop, they'll probably walk away with 10+ copies. There really should be a "per person" cap for guaranteed sell-outs such as these...

ketchupnmustud Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Wish we could petition or something. It sucks ass having someone buy up a bunch of copies to flip causing those of us who actually want the record to listen and enjoy to miss out.

andystix Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 How do these people even guarantee a copy? Ridiculous. I've was thinking the same thing. Maybe they work at a Hot Topic and can buy them as soon as they come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 I've was thinking the same thing. Maybe they work at a Hot Topic and can buy them as soon as they come in. I really dont think thats the case. Its just people who post or follow this board. This happens all the time with a lot of the HT exclusives. As soon as I post something on here people start putting up copies on ebay before they even get manufactured to take advantage of people. derrickcook19941 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinisterkidd Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 has a list of stores that still have S/T been posted lately? Dont wanna go through this mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agua Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I would be interested in that list, too. Pretty much every local store I went to I cleared out and sent out to folks here, but if there was one I missed or one I don't normally go to that has it, I'd be glad to make the journey. ghjghj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxonviolons Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 It's one thing if you *think* you're going to get your hands on ONE copy, but when you're preselling FIVE total copies, something is up. This person either works at Hot Topic or knows someone that works at Hot Topic who gives them a heads up and holds the copies until your*disney*helper gets there to buy all of them.

This is a kewl theory but no. They just buy however many they presold on eBay when it goes up on the HT website. CVHX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerboy032 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Was at Lloyd center ht the other day in Portland OR, bought a copy of MEteora and Rise Against.. Girl checking me out asked if I ever sell the records I buy. I responded with "I collect records, but yes, sometimes I will sell a record down the road". She then went on to tell me these are in high demand, and she sells them after her Ht discount. Pretty lame that employees are doing this. But nothing I can really do about it. Just hoping they have a "one per employee" limit, otherwise that would be really messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see how your theory is any more valid than mine. How do they know when it is going to go up on the HT website? How do they know they're going to get that many copies? I get on the site within the day of releases to get 1 personal press and stuff is increasingly getting sold out by the time I get there. There's a connection somewhere. If an employee is openly admitting that they use their discount to flip a record, they probably don't hesitate to hook up a friend or themselves to double their money. Because why would you put yourself on the line and pre-sell 5 copies if you might only get your hands on 3? ketchupnmustud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
