The Saint Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Reading things like this makes me upset to not live near any legitimate record stores like Amoeba The west coast is calling my name. Nice find! diabretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I happen to stumble across it again (ha), I'll let you know. I can't even find a realistic price of what it would go for on discogs though. So crazy.

Derek™ Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 One time I ordered a medium sized Oreo shake at Jack-In-The-Box, and they gave me a large. They apologized for the error and only charged me for a medium. It was pretty cool.

aflycon Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Come on over here, brother! Great weather and great records "Great weather," he says. We don't have it so good up here around Seattle. There are a handful of good record stores in the city, but elsewhere you're getting screwed by indie stores selling new LPs at at least 50% markup. Congrats on that find though - out of 100! I'd love to move down to California at some point, just for the records! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isavedlatin54 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Austin has three great record stores. My best used find was a euro pressing of evil empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 That explains why people call you a fat fuck. And that explains why people call you an asshole. Not that I've ever been called fat - here at VC or anywhere else - but prior to 2012, I was actually underweight and even a little self conscious about it. Some smarter dieting choices, a bit of determination, and a lot of whey protein have gotten me closer to a healthy weight. It's an ongoing process. Not that you asked -- I just wanted to emphasize how assumptions get you nowhere. But thanks for playing. Since that was a dead end, you should probably look somewhere else to project your dissatisfaction with your own physique and or life. Thanks. [edit] As to not contribute nothing to thread; congrats to Kess on the score. I've actually never set foot in an Amoeba, though I'd really like to. I've heard mixed things about their prices, but threads like these give me hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Amoeba has so many fuckin' pricers that if you dig enough, you'll find stuff that slips through the cracks. I also found, a few months ago in the new arrivals bin, Phoenix - Alphabetical, VG+ all around, for $13 or $14 bucks. I don't remember. I live 10 mins away so I try to hit it up at least once a week to see what I can find. I've also found some other really rare stuff for cheap like the Slim Shady EP for $10 and of Montreal - Gay Parade for $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've found so many good deals at Amoeba it's ridiculous. Favorite record store by a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castaway Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 They have good deals here and there but are mostly overpriced. I was there a few weeks ago and almost everything I picked up I could have found for $5 cheaper anywhere online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I went to Amoeba on my road trip through the states over the summer. I was with two friends who weren't into records at all, so they walked to the Jack in the Box across the street then starting spam texting me to hurry up. Didn't end up finding anything, but I felt compelled to buy something so I walked out with TBS - Where You Want To Be. I was there for an hour and it felt like I needed at least another 2 hours there. stuffsux00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 When I went to Amoeba I found a RSD version of Now, Now's Neighbors (four months after RSD) and a grey gatefold version of The Saddest Landscape's You Will Not Survive. Also saw a copy of The Jezabels' record for 8 bucks which I hope someone jumped on because that record is worth so much more than that musically.

Shelby Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 My record stores all know what every record they get in is worth. It sucks haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I love Amoeba but it always gets me in trouble going in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfisher Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I lived a couple blocks from Amoeba from about 2004-2006 and I seriously had to set a budget for myself, like take some cash and ONLY use that cash. Definitely got myself into a bit of trouble there at the beginning. Totally worth it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
