[QUOTE=I_Forgot;40612819]Whenever I see them, it's like $30 for a single record, like Revolver. It's a fine album, but paying $30 for a single record is too much.
Just like when I see the new My Bloody Valentine album, it's always $40 for some reason.[/QUOTE]
what are you talking about
buying it off the site is much cheaper than $40 last time i checked\
but I'm in agreeance on the beatles records I can never find them cheap at all ever
I can find them for $20 at any of The Exchanges stores here.

The two places I've seen at for sale in an actual store here have it for $40.

You don't want to by MBV in store because they distributed online so the stores have to mark up or some shit

$30 including for full pack of CD, vinyl and online

in early 2011 i think

even more expensive on UK amazon

yeah looks like they are charging a bit more for the 2012 repress but its under $20 while an original in purchase-worthy condition is roughly that much. revolver and the rest of their past catalog go for more in the $30 range
[editline]12th May 2013[/editline]
yeah, white album is a double LP as opposed to the rest of their discog so its a different story. i got a "good" original press for $11, #1076706
Say if you guys bought a $90 record advertized as Mint with no blemishes what so ever and it showed up to your house with creases and tears, would you consider it an option to get your money back through paypal? I feel pretty low about it, but Im not happy with the condition it showed up in what so ever
yeah, mint is mint. if they lied, ask them about it. have them send pics pre-shipping. if ups fucked up or whatever then you cant blame them but if it was not mint and they said it was go for it
He says it was mint pre-shipping, but ill ask for pictures. The record was shipped from Spain to USA and it was really not packaged for that trip at all, which is probably why it came to my house ruined. He did say he used Registered Air Mail through USPS and I asked him to file a claim a few days ago to no response from him.
If sellers can't pack it properly, they're shit sellers..
just give them a poor rating and ask for a refund (which will totally screw them, but if they fucked up that's what they get)

Thats the way im seeing it. Quarter inch thick cardboard isnt strong enough to ship something half way across the globe.

Yeah ill do that too, if that doesnt get a response Ill do a charge back on paypal.
ordered a Cash record, brand new a while back, received it massively creased but they swapped it for free and packed it better.
Also the proper way to pack records is to separate the sleeve/record to avoid splits.
Thats what he did but it still showed up ruined oddly
Just bought Home by Rudimental. £20.00 for a limited edition 3xLP album. Not bad.

the proper way is to use a box that is slightly wider than the record, take the record out of the sleeve, and use 2 sheets of cardboard on both sides of the records.
if you have a shop that sells lego nearby, try bothering them for their cardboard. lego ships their stuff in the sturdiest cardboard ever.
trying to order the new Knife from amazon, but there's 2 versions: "box set" and "import"
There's a fucking 10p price difference and I dunno what to do :[
[editline]15th May 2013[/editline]
ordered
What one did you get? The guy I ordered the record from is refusing to refund me now
[QUOTE=sirpopsalot_;40653603]What one did you get? The guy I ordered the record from is refusing to refund me now[/QUOTE]
ordered from amazon directly, they were actually the cheapest which was weird.
the "box set" was cheaper which was also weird, but I'm guessing it's the same thing as the import anyway.

I finally own this album, it's a good day.
Just got a record I have been spending years looking for. Got Two Hunters by Wolves In The Throne room on 180 gram clear wax. Happiest camper in the world.

Got that too, p happy. Great price, even with shipping
ive paid $22 for shipping like what the fuck man
The only way I'd pay a crapload for shipping is when/if I order a bulk amount of records..

One of the shops I use has an option where you can pay for something but reserve it and they put I aside so you can make a bulk order over time
And here I have no problems with paying extra $20 because all the local shops have a $40 price markup anyway.
Also, just arrived. :dance:
