I'm interested in the Sleep record and maybe the Trout Mask. How much are we talking?

Understandable. Honestly I'd much rather just price them for what I paid but with all the bullshit with ebay/paypal fees or in this case shipping, I want to put it up slightly to break even on them and that's the lowest I can go without losing money. I don't want you to have the impression that I'm trying to gouge you.

I’m not in the market- I couldn’t bear to part with $60 for some of those the first time around- but if you use Square Cash app, there’s no fee if you’re using debit card. Facebook messenger doesn’t have a fee either but you’d have to be Friends™

The problem was that I had it set as an automatic payment and I'm a dipshit and kept forgetting to cancel before they took the payment and for some reason they won't refund you after they already charge you despite them not announcing the poo poo until a loving month after they take your money. And honestly most of the last year or so has been really lackluster. I do like having a copy of Trout Mask Replica but you can just buy the black vinyl one for regular retail because I don't care about the colors or trinkets. I just prefer to avoid ebay more than paypal because they take too much money especially when you add paypal (and also because ebay is a huge pain in the rear end and the buyers can be loving terrible). When I do sell poo poo on ebay I try to price lower than what ever the going rate is to move the item as fast as I can. With these things you can lose money on them some times. There have been a lot of great packages though that definitely give you a lot of bang for your buck. The rest of the stuff is just for super collectors or whoever and that's not me.

It's ~$60 per vault item, so accounting for shipping on those box sets and PayPal deductions, there's really not much upcharge there.

e: Bottom price for both on Discogs, before shipping, would be ~$170.

After shipping and fees my total profit on this would probably be around ten dollars to fifteen dollars. I just wanted to price it at enough to make sure I broke even.

Record purchased. A fair price considering they retailed new for $60. Also I just got notification yesterday that my Amazon purchase of Troutmask is shipping. So I’m gonna throw this fancy rainbow scale one on the wall in a frame to annoy the wife and listen to the mass market reprint.

My DeepDiscount order came in today.



Unfortunately I think I got a bad pressing of Blue Velvet. There's some speed issues that are obvious on some songs, and it's clearly pressed a bit off center. You can hear it pretty clearly in Mysteries of Love:

The strobe doesn't play well with the camera but the 33rpm outer ring is pretty stable to my eyes. I confirmed with a test record that the warble isn't just my turntable.

Just buy a tape deck from a thrift store instead of paying a high price for some trendy hipster douchebag's vanity project.

Probably uses the same Tanashin mechanism that every other tape deck you can buy uses, since they’re the only people still making one, according to Techmoan

If you're not looking for something special there are plenty of Walkman style tape players on Amazon for about twenty dollars. Most of then have some kind of tape to digital converter thing.

Yep. Watch that video and then buy a vintage 80s or 90s tape deck and you'll be happier.

Yeah, I found my Nakamichi in a random store in the back for $50 after I asked the guy if he had any hifi gear. It’s not anything special by them, but it’s a solid enough deck that doesn’t give me issues.

I got tipped like crazy today and headed to the record store. Not only that, my Residents record hit the door including a freebie sent as a mea culpa for late shipping. Behold hot sauce and dirty dishes! Christ I gotta clean this dump.





The bonus Residents LP that includes the encore along with all the video segments is apparently shipping out starting next week, too!

all my vinyl is being plagued by excessive static, any recommendations for sleeves or a way to prevent so much static? It's ruining my first playthrough of KMFDM - Angst D:

the milty anti static gun looks like some as seen on tv poo poo that shouldn't work but does, a spinclean or other record washer will also get rid of static. Poly lined inner sleeves are cheap enough to be a must imo. I have bought the expensive mobile fidelity ones in the past but am currently using panmer ones which are half the price and just as good. Static will always build up again over time but the above stuff will minimize it as much as is possible.

If you leave them for ages between plays they will build up static even due to the rotation of the earth (so I'm told). Poly sleeves just increase how long that takes and obviously induce less static whenever you slide the records in and out.
