Certified Nimrod Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I might actually be going back because my mom wants to buy all the Grateful Dead records and scalp them on ebay. Totally not cool mom, but I can't hate on her too much because she did buy my records for me Don't let your mom do that, dude. Hide them from her.

Bolanic Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I scored a red vinyl! Apparently, the artist who did the cover lives in the neighborhood of the store I went to, so he signed all of the covers that were for sale at that particular store!

BCap Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Don't let your mom do that, dude. Hide them from her. Don't hide them in the store - that makes it hard for everyone else to find them. Just go into the store, give them a headshot of your mom, and ask them if they can put the albums behind the counter and, if she comes in inquiring about them, tell her that they are all out.

Todd Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Don't let your mom do that, dude. Hide them from her.My mom bought a $700 necklace at an auction and sold it for double. This is what she's good at, and it makes her happy (and slightly evil) I won't let her do it with anything Green Day though I scored a red vinyl! Apparently, the artist who did the cover lives in the neighborhood of the store I went to, so he signed all of the covers that were for sale at that particular store! Yeah, he posted that on instagram! Now you just need it signed by all of Green Day, and then you'll have an amazing piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green day is Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 lol @ "how dare Tman's mom sell Record Store Day merch to people who can't otherwise get them!"

If you're against someone making a profit I recommend you avoid anyone selling anything to anyone else, and that includes your record store. Unless every purchase you make is straight from the hands that produced it you've got no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk94 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 i went to two record stores today and the first store had 1 vinyl and 1 cd (mine ) and the second store only had 1 vinyl...and nearly eeeeeveryone just asked for green day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I was thrilled my local record store had Demolicious. They had plenty of CDs, four cassettes and one vinyl. I was very tempted to buy the vinyl since it was the only one....but I decided against it. the CD alone was 20 bucks. The cassettes were 14 and the vinyl was 31. I am enjoying the CD, but wish the songs were a little more different. Aside from one or two words from one or two songs, they are nearly identical to the album versions.

Todd Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Very good idea. That's terrible Terrible for whom? The buyer wanted it enough, they're happy, my mom's happy, and then she uses the money to buy things for me which makes me happy. plus she bought it at a charity auction, so $700 dollars are going towards sick children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
converse_punk14 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Ohio or Michigan (judging by your concert location in your sig)? I live in Northern Indiana. Most said that the album sold out in just a few minutes. All formats were gone except for one cassette and the CD I bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Now Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I just came back from buying my copies, both CD and vinly. Such a big turn out. The record store sold out in less than an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yes, but the scalpers will take a $30 record and start the bidding at $100. It's like $60 for most RSD 2014 releases so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green day is Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yes, but the scalpers will take a $30 record and start the bidding at $100. If the market's there it's there. If it's as outrageous as it sounds to you to everyone else it won't sell anyway. Someone who buys off eBay for a hundred is not a person who had the opportunity to get it at their record store. The supply is low as it is, the rest is about their demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullwinkleCheech Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I scored a free 7 inch RSD release by the Afterpartees. Saw them play an instore today as well. Those dudes rock the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCap Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 It's like $60 for most RSD 2014 releases so far Fair enough. Still, the fact that they take something that is high in demand that they personally don't want and just sell it at inflated prices for their own gain irks me. Now, I think I could be willing to be more sympathetic to those people involved in the practice who do it to help their families - it doesn't make the general practice better, but I don't think I would hold it against the person.

Someone who buys off eBay for a hundred is not a person who had the opportunity to get it at their record store. People that enjoy the music do buy the records. It just goes through a middle man. Or should I say a second middle man, since your record store sure as hell falls into the category of "profit-seekers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
