jhulud Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just like some other labels have been doing, No Sleep dumped a bunch of rare records and test presses on eBay. 10% of proceeds going to Toys for Tots. http://www.ebay.com/sch/nosleeprecords/m.html?item=190983226980&pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item2c777cc664&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevorxramage Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I wish they wouldn't do these so close to christmas EDIT: I guess that would make the 10% for toys for tots kind of redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamb117 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 at least they're attempting to masquerade it as charitable for once. with the number of test pressings they make, and the number they end up putting on ebay... regardless, maybe i'll snag my first test press. i'll refinance my mortgage, NBD Out Of Time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runforcover Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 exactly. was just about to write this. I don't mean this in a rude way, but why do you care if a label owner sells tests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I don't get why when labels sell test pressings everyone seems to get their panties in a bunch. You don't need to own a test pressing. Also betting most profits go towards more releases which is never a bad thing. trevorxramage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrock Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Awesome! How much did it run you? $30.66, less than I was expecting. Once it comes in I'll have to take a picture of my Broadway Calls collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's about the only good thing about people not caring about them. I won a Smartbomb test pressing for $15 from RJ a few years back haha. I don't get why when labels sell test pressings everyone seems to get their panties in a bunch. You don't need to own a test pressing. Also betting most profits go towards more releases which is never a bad thing. More or less this. I mean if it is for charity more than 10% would be nice, but it's discretionary. I always assume that a label owner throwing tests on ebay helps offset costs for future releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assume that a label owner throwing tests on ebay helps offset costs for future releases. Even if the money doesn't go to future releases, I don't see why it matters. People want to pay for them. The sellers aren't even asking for some absurd price, people actively place bids that they're comfortable paying. I am unsure if some think differently on here or not, but people who run labels don't make a lot of money, and also tend to work far more than your average person making the same amount. I wanna live in a nice apartment with my girlfriend and live comfortably as an adult just like everyone else in the world. Donating to charity is obviously awesome too, but I don't think that makes doing it for personal reasons immoral.

I agree... labels could do whatever they want to do with tests. They paid for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
