We're all silly I guess, the amount of copies I have of Aly & AJ's last album mental illness confirmed I fear
Daddy Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Got my first VMP vinyl ever. I was sick of waiting for AALIYAH so I ordered it from German ebay. 50€ + 5€ shipping was a steal considering I would AT LEAST pay 70€ when ordering from them directly. (without subscription) It's gorgeous and THICK! Wonderful pressing. The only thing that I think they should change is the fact that they put the vinyl inside the jacket. A company that specialises on high quality records should keep them outside the jacket for shipping. Especially overseas. Also got M3LL155X. So basically mother and her quirky niece Also finished my M.I.A discography with AIM (her worst album but I had to get it before it's completely gone cause I know they won't repress that **** hehe)

Desire Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Ugh Walmart has failed me for the first time. My copy of X100PRE arrived and all the corners are dinged
Musicology Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Well, I just placed an order for Cinderella's Eyes from plasticpop records, 50 euros, shipping included.
Attitude Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 https://sodarecs.com/product/shakira-oral-fixation-vinyl-2-lp-edicion-especial-color/ These people are insane. They were selling them for $60 before and these retail for around $40 in Mexico.
ariananext Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Is it so hard to deliver a vinyl without ruining it? My last 3 records have arrived with ruined corners. My Dawn FM vinyl from Urban Outfitters just arrived (the silver one from Target) and it's in terrible conditions, I don't understand why it is so hard to be more careful with the packaging. Spoiler
Daddy Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 The fear of discovering new music/albums you fall in love with cause it's gonna cost you...

Joyride Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 the records I've ordered from UO always, like ALWAYS come with a split seam either on top or the bottom of the jacket. it's SO annoying because they press so many of my favorite records

I honestly think it’s worse when it’s an artist you already were a fan of, but then you became a stan OR you caught onto the vinyl craze later (latter parts about me) Do you know how many times I walked into UO and saw Ultraviolence and Lust for Life, only to keep it moving because I thought they would always be in stock? Embarrassing. And I had the NERVE to sell the most rare of her UO releases (Honeymoon)

the greatest Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Just picked up a copy of JoJo’s first album at Amoeba if anyone is looking for a copy.

ariananext Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Thank God UO offered me a replacement and told me to keep the one that I've gotten they also gave me a refund for the shipping costs
Sergi91 Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Any advice on buying from Discogs?? I have an account there but haven’t added any form of payment.

Do not add to your cart unless you're going to actually buy the item. It'll open an invoice if you do, and then you'll have to go through the hassle of messaging the seller that you change your mind and want to cancel the order... if you ignore the open invoice, the seller can (not all, but some) give you a bad review for not completing it. If you have questions about shipping, etc. message the seller directly before opening an invoice. Also check the reviews of a seller. The longer they've been a member, the more reviews, the higher the rating- all the better.

I order from discogs for 7 years now, I found fanstastic stuff there. When you add something to card, you can delete it of course.
