they sell ridiculously overpriced trashed crap on ebay, don't know if the same applies to their store

do you know sixty (electricsound), Thursday, 2 September 2010 22:31 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah i'm wondering about the store

arby's, Thursday, 2 September 2010 22:32 (thirteen years ago) link

browsed their website for pretty everyday records that i own and still have the price stickers on 'em. 3 to 5 times what i paid for the stuff at Cheapo and wherever. dumb.

arby's, Thursday, 2 September 2010 23:15 (thirteen years ago) link

no sorry it's more like 2-3 and in a couple cases 4X but like still.

buying a sealed record for that much seems crazy to me. what if its warped?

He/she (OK, he) will never listen to it so that's irrelevant.

sorry i was late on this but the store is even worse than they are on ebay...it seems like it's basically just a way for them to clear out all the garbage vinyl they acquire when they buy out collections and estate sales...so they ebay the valuable stuff...then put out all the beat up shit and charge like $6 for dollar bin shit....

so yeah i guess if you want to spend like $5 on a beat to shit Tommy Bolin record that doesn't even have a sleeve it's the place to go

^^ the worst kind of record store

Aqua Buddha (herb albert), Tuesday, 14 September 2010 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link

Ha ha. Was considering visiting this place last time I was in mpls, but was way turned off by their $$$ vibe. Thankfully there's way better record stores there - Hymies for one.

barry leavitt, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 21:10 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah hymies is nice, total old school weirdo joint

i really love roadrunner for value, smaller but really well curated and always a lot of turnover and new shit...

Really now. What are you thinking?

Am I nuts, or is this excessive?

(Especially when he's got 6 available. Really?!)

is that something that people want really badly? i don't even know. i had that book that they used for that cover. i think someone actually bought it because of the album cover. should have priced it higher i guess.

scott seward, Thursday, 25 November 2010 05:17 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, Oneida had at least a box of these last time they toured the UK.

SOLO AVANT GARDE DRONE LONG BEARDS OOP YOU NEED THIS

Question & Answer
Q: "you write: You should buy this even though you probably don't deserve it. It will give you something to aspire to in life. And might actually make you a better person." I assume you means th3 potential buyer is a complete and utter duffer because actually the well-tuned piano is rather dull and tedious. it only retains its mystique by being almost totally unavailable. listen to it! give me charlemagne palestine anyday.
A: I have listened! Not to this copy. To another copy. On top of a mountain that was haunted by the ghosts of Ichabod Crane and Pat Metheny. The wind howled and the wine flowed. I learned how to pray that day... But, yeah, Palestine is a major block rocker. No doubt about it.

i'd say it will end between $240-275, but if a bidding war starts, who knows.
i forget what i paid for mine. i traded a rare john cage LP on dial and like $20 or something.

not everything is a campfire (ian), Friday, 26 November 2010 02:18 (thirteen years ago) link

i'm gonna say upwards of $400 -- popsike has them going for more than that, even recently.

three weeks pass...

Well, "Path through the forest" is alongside "My father's name was dad" The Fire and The Flies' "Not your stepping stone" in the list of highly valuable psych singles. (Although that's a heck of a bid-up!)

That other "One in a million" one I don't know, but also: whew!

Mark G, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 10:07 (thirteen years ago) link

nice little collection

fredereek hernando >>>>> path through the forest. worth every cent imo

vag vag vag (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2011 11:47 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah One in a Million were awesome. Their song "No Smokes" is crazy, kind of a freakbeat/psych precursor to Clark Hutchinson's stuff like "Free to Be Stoned" or "Death, the Lover." Um, vocally, mostly.

Crazy Priced Vinyl Hair On EBAY

Damn this thread seems so....different without ilxor (ilxor), Friday, 25 February 2011 17:46 (thirteen years ago) link

(not sure where else to post this one, but) a few weeks ago i sold a kinda-sorta-little-bit-hard-to-find Merzbow thing on ebay, then was getting the shipping label ready when i noticed the buyer: J3ff M4ngum... pretty cool, huh?

I once sold a book on eBay to Glenn Mercer. But not that Glenn Mercer, dammit.
