TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I understand, I myself am in a similar situation but mostly just from years of working in record stores and getting insider deals/records given to me. But in the current climate many of those old dime a dozen artists have shot up in value in a physical store setting. I would marvel at how we would put out a 70s pressing of axis: bold as love or a 77 reissue of any LZ album in VG condition for $15 and it would fly off the shelf in a day, and five years ago those would sit for $6 or 7 for weeks sometimes. As a result, I now consider deals like this a score in this day and age. Thrift stores are really picked over, at least in Colorado here so the chance of getting big name rock artists seem to be getting slimmer, competition is fierce these daysI hear you, for sure. A big part of my dislike is how he wrote it, as though fishing for compliments and less about what the "score" was. It was an ok score, just...very internet "like me" writing.Plus, if we're going with the prices you're saying, he ripped off an elderly couple in need of medical services. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambionic Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I haven't paid more than $1 for most of my Floyd, Zep, Sabbath, Dylan, Beatles or Hendrix, and just about every one of them has been a thrift store or garage sale find That's said, the only ones of those I listen to regularly are the Sabbath records and Floyd every now and then. I run across that shit all the time though, especially Aerosmith and Dylan at thrift stores. ::shrug:: I failed to snatch up "the classics" when I first started collecting (and they were that cheap) because I figured they'd always be as easy to find/affordable as they were back then. Now they've all been grabbed up by bandwagoners of THE HOBBY and reissued for $30+. Still only have one Zeppelin album, three Beatles, two Floyd, no Hendrix, no Dylan, and no Aerosmith. Suuuuucks.

mssskat184 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 So I bought the Wildlife test press that No Sleep was selling on ebay this week. Finally got it. It was listed as 4th press, and it's not. It clearly says "7th" on the back right under the copy number and the date says 12/3/2015 on the sleeve. I don't know if I should be shitty or not because it's still a test, but I don't get why they didn't just list it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throughbeingcruel Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The seventh pressing ships any day now, I'm waiting on one. It's probably supposed to read 3/12/2015, because Chris told me on Instagram a couple months ago that he was waiting on the reissue to come in from the plant.
