    Now it's sold out!

    If they shipped internationally this was such a missed chance ;(.
    They do ship internationally via FedEx.

    Their cart system is pretty cool. Say's right there how many were left in stock.

    Ah I see. I should act EVEN quicker. How nice it would have been to get this one ;). One of the few shots us international people could have had.

    Had some luck with Turntable Lab's stock emails this past month with the Citizen Dick and White Stripes Record Store Day restocks. Wish I would have thought to put this in.

    They are good. My friend who placed an order when these went up hours ago already received a shipping confirmation email from FedEx.

    Cool. I had a friend who lives in the area that asked them about this but they didn't know anything about it.

    Anyone else finding any online record stores still selling these?

    Vinyl Renaissance is selling one for $159.99. http://www.vinylren.com/vinyl-films-records-box-set-6x-10-clear-vinyl-mark-kozelek-sun-kil-moon-low-ep/

    That didn't take long. It sold out.

    Seems like these are popping up less and less
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    Even the record shops are "flipping" these!
    I hope this doesn't become the norm with limited releases.

    Which is wrong, you know they bought the set for like $30 and would sell it for $50 initially.

    Seriously. If my record store did this, I would stop buying records from them and just go online.

    Retail markup is expected. But when something that is supposed to be in stores with a retail price tag of $50 ends up on the store's ebay or Discogs page for $100-200... that is indeed wrong!! And even more wrong when they are turning customers away. I'm with SuMay, if I saw my store doing this, it would be the end of my customer loyalty.

    And the mom and pop shops wonder why people shop online...

    Not every mom and pop shop does it. I don't think any of my local stores have done anything like that. The stores in Seattle I use to get US only stuff shipped up here never price gouge me.

    When pressings are this small I think everyone loses regardless if a few record stores gouge directly. If those record stores didn't gouge, someone would of bought it for regular price right away, the copy wouldn't be available for sale, and you'd still be looking for a gouged price on ebay. I would never support a store that did it, but I don't believe they are the root cause of the problem.

    Extremely small pressings are. This set was unique in that it took ten years to create. Thus the first vinyl's were pressed back when vinyl was unpopular so they were already locked into a small pressing. Other sets (ahem RSD) are pressed in small quantities which gives incentive for both record stores and individuals to flip. Pressings should be big enough there isn't a financial gain from flipping :(

    I go to a few record stores in Manhattan. There's one that does mark things up a little (a few dollars here and there) and I don't mind that because I know Manhattan rents are ridiculous and they have two grumpy cats in the store that I adore :) But a store selling a box set that retails at $59.90 for $160? They should be ashamed of themselves. In fact, they should just shut down and go to eBay. That would save them overhead, right?
  • lotsalemonlotsalemon Posts: 2,737

    I know not every shop does it...but in the end, it hurts everyone. It just turns a lot of people off. Why bother driving all over town for something when you can get it online for considerably less?

    Soundstage Direct put these directly to discogs for crazy amounts. Never offered on their site, and they bill themselves as an independent shop.

    Lakeshore Record Exchange from Rochester said I can have it for $149,99 plus $40 shipping to Germany. I refused...
  • demetriosdemetrios Posts: 90,937
    There's one on eBay for $99.99 with a buy it now. Cheapest one I've seen there.

    I saw that. Super disappointed. I've been a big fan of Soundstage Direct until now. I may start moving my online vinyl purchases somewhere else.

    I stopped using them a while ago. The first was that their prices are kind of expensive. You need to buy records during the regular 10% or 15% off sales just to get the prices in reach of Amazon. On top of that they charge insane shipping prices to Canada. They're just as expensive as the 10c :)
