waxidermy is so weird. just ppl arguing about selling records all day. do they even like music?
i price VG+ PG for about $15 usually, i could put $20 on a really nice copy.

start a thread on there for my record thing i wrote:

i would be curious what scary rekkerd dudes thought of it. give you a clean copy of coda if you start one.

don't tell them you know me though. i want unvarnished comments.

and yeah, i could sell led zeppelin records all day long, and they usually don't make it past the new arrivals bin but i don't think that's a reason to price them higher, nor does the ever-flucating ebay sales price of records have much to do with my thought process when pricing out classic rock and other common, top 40, massively selling titles.

i definitely price floyd, zep, beatles, doors higher than when i opened my store. got sick of the flippers. buy out every beatles record i had and then some sad teenager would come in asking for beatles and i'd have to tell them to check ebay.

man i really wanna come visit yr store skot

not just to flip!

you don't live near me. ian lives pretty close and even travels to rhode island on occasion, but he refuses to come to my store.

he gets enough records though.

give me a link if you start a thread on the waxi board. i don't know how to find stuff there.

just bought some dead records. i won't go under ten bucks for clean dead records. not gonna happen. unless its dylan & the dead. or maybe goes to heaven.

i love the dead man
any boots?

i don't refuse to come to your store, it's just a lil difficult to find time. the only time i travel to RI is really for family occasions where i don't have enuff time to drive to greenfield.

wtf is "crust"? is that their term for common major-label stuff? also, "shredding"?

yeah, that crust thing threw me off. last i hear crust was a type of punkrok

from google search:

Surely this is the epitome of what our chums at Waxidermy call 'crust'? Major label product that sold bucketloads at the time and is easily found in various locations for not much money.

oh i posted the piece on the thread -- if no one bites in a couple days, ill try starting a separate one, scott!

oh okay got it tanks.

most of these guys dont wanna talk about it unless its for sale though :\

shreds=plays very good guitar?

btw, i am pretty sure i got 'vg but sound great' copies of the first six zep rekkerds for $1 each

i inherited all of my zep from my dad, he shreds!

I saw a nice used copy of Led Zep II in a store today for $17.95. Gatefold, etc. That's pretty much the norm around here, I'm moving more into random thrift scores cuz it is out of control in the regular stores.

does anyone know what those waxi dudes mean when they call a record NAGB

not a good buy?

good guess, it makes sense

the best thing about the waxi site is the bonerz thread, soe of the covers are really great.

^^ um, Not A Grippable Boner?

i'm all about the bonerz

nagb is not a good boner fwiw

took me forever to work out wtf PINA is

when ppl on waxidermy use the word "good" are they referring the musical quality or $$$?

in the context of "nagb" it just means inaccurate. as for anything else, well..

fascinating.

you did ask!

no i did! and i get it! but it doesn't help me understand the culture in the way i was hoping.

ah i see. tbh i do prefer the site when they talk about interesting things and tell cool stories, the whole fretting over the price of stuff is lame in the extreme

what's a "boner"?

From what I understand a boner is a record that looks promising, like a hand drawn cover of a bearded guy or a photo of a certain kind of guy or girl, but the music doesn't lived up to the covers promise.

But I have a few of those records and I like the music, so a lot.

like this is supposed to be a boner, but it's one of my favorite records, really nice soft folk rock.
