Ebay, Light Of My Life, Fire Of My Loins, My Sin, My Soul

no fair playing Somerville on a night i cannot attend.

Saw The Strapping Fieldhands play at Cake Shop a year ago or something and I think me and my girlfriend were the only ones who showed up that weren't opening for them. Or at least it was practically that way.

"Hi I got the lp and the record itself have alot of spots on it, on both sides. Im gonna have it cleaned and see if they come out. "

i wonder abt stuff like this. people not using precise words so that i have NO IDEA what this guy means by 'spots.' iirc the record was NM. i think maybe he means dust particles??

i have no idea if anyone is gonna bite at this price, but it's gotten 150+ views since noon...

think it might be a tough sell to start it so high but good luck man!! I shared your link on Facebook. I think before you mail it off I should come over and visit it. soak in the aura.

have you thought about trying to post it to a GBV fan forum or something? like is this thing still active? http://www.gbv.com/postal.html

or maybe the Matador msgboard

*** BEAUTIFUL, ORIGINAL, FIRST PRESSING!~PROMO ***

STUNNING MASTER TAPE SOUND ON SIDE ONE! And side two, at A+ to A++, is excellent in its own right. This is an incredible recording, a member of our Top 100, but it takes a copy like this to make it come to life.

I confess to not ever having taken this album seriously, dismissing it as a commercial collection of pop hits with as much depth as the L.A. river, but I was wrong wrong WRONG. This is a great album on the right LP, not the compressed piece of grainy cardboard pop we're used to. The typical pressing barely hints at the tremendous energy and top-quality musicianship that characterizes practically every track on this wonderful record.

speaking of 45s:

WTF???

Ouch! I have no idea what that is but judging by the description, I'd buy one for $6.16...

It's a beautiful set. 2XLP and a really wonderful coffee style photo book.

an essay by nick hornby can kill the value of anything.

holy grail right here

Until now. Because “The Forever Family”, a rock band with two reality TV shows starring Shirley Jones in development from Las Vegas Nevada, needs to raise $1,000,000 to purchase a very special very destroyed and very infamous house to renovate and shoot another pilot, they are offering their greatest and most prized possession up for auction: Their priceless set of Screen Gem Records.

poor shirley...

even lee remick is a $600 record these days so that doesn't surprise me

These records have not been cleaned. They are being sold as is.

We are new to the record business. We are the largest seller of Vintage Lunchboxes in the World.

i watched Thurston Moore pick off a thumbnail at a show yesterday and saw where it landed. All I could think of was how I could probably get like $60 for it on eBay if I was a total fucking scumbag

you might also be asked to prove that it came from a famous indie rocker as opposed to, you know, yourself?

whatever, it's probably still on the ground at Union Pool if you have a plan for it

was just on the Modest Mouse thread (not sure why) and saw that "Lonesome Crowded West" vinyl goes for $350?? never been reissued (although one may be in the works). gonna have to sell that bad boy

do it, do it NOW

already listed lol. tell a friend

oh man. up to $76 with four bids on day one. hot damn.

I will stop live blogging my auction now ;)

Nah man, good luck, live blog away. Scott basically paid off my overdraft earlier this year by telling me how much something was worth. Go for it, I would again

it's up to $200 now with 34 watchers. ends Tuesday night. fingers crossed.

even if it stayed at this price it's already by far the most expensive record I've sold on ebay. think I unloaded some of those Bob Pollard side project Fading Captain records for around $80 a couple years ago. I don't really sell that much. Really lucked into this one as I like the record but am totally fine w/ just having a digital copy and found out what it's worth at a great time (I didn't realize until after I put up the auction that they just put up a 45-minute documentary (!) about Lonesome Crowded West on Pitchfork on Monday ... I bet that sent some people to ebay I would think).

now I'm just hoping whoever wins isn't a flake.

good luck Dave!

this guy did alright for himself on his recently completed round of auctions:

talk about grippin raers

that's a nice group of records.

yeah, nice to see all those sound sculpture rekkerds in one place.

yeah, i'd like to see all those Sonambient records at my place.

^^^ me too pal, me too.

Modest Mouse ended last night at $265 :D

oh man think of how many diapers you can buy!!!

;)

hahaha. I'm spinning it as subsidizing my trip to Woodsist Fest.

:D

I was happy somebody local bought that record so I could just drop it off and avoid having to deal with shipping, worrying about it getting lost, etc.

However I didn't factor in that I then risked a Comic Book Guy type of person inspecting the record on the spot and critiquing my grading to my face.

Was a bit nerve-racking but after he declared it "a little dustier than I'd like ... not exactly mint" (I didn't grade it mint) we parted ways on good terms. Adios good sir.

lol, yeah, people are weird man... glad things worked out okay. it's weird, ppl who are into spending hundreds on records but not understanding grading etc.

I am not super confident in my grading tbh

think I described this record fine though

i have a couple of good classical records ending today that are going up nicely. very curious what they will end up at. then i panic about my grading. i never put near mint on anything. that helps. unless it was sealed and i opened it. with rock stuff i will do near mint occasionally.
