As of late last night, my package arrived in Central Ohio, about 15-25 minutes via car from my house!

SOOOOOOOOO maybe there's hope for @derbydave before Friday!!

If only that mattered...still have a day or 2 before delivery AFTER the package enters the USPS system!!
UPS Mail Innovations is pretty reliable as far as this goes!!

So you're saying I can't friggin' drive to Grove City and pick the dang thing up myself? :(

Yeah, I'm sure I'll get mine Thursday or Friday... *sigh*

Received at the local PO in IL at 7am today, id imagine ill have a nice new brad lp and white fixer sittin on the step when i get home!

Mine was in Forest Park yesterday and just arrived in Chicago at 7AM. We should hopefully have them today.

Same. Mine was transferred to Naperville post office this morning and is now out for delivery. My mail usually comes after I leave for work, so I probably won't see what I got until I get home from work.

Trying to stay positive, but with 1.84...I'm 90% sure I'm going to get one of the 'Non ed' solo lp's.

Tres Mts. and EV Love Boat Captain 7" received in Portland. Bummer...

That package has a market value of like $35. I wonder if now we will see a string of duds, or will people just not post them.

Yeah a market value that few people would ever pay. If you throw that package on ebay, fat chance you'd ever get anyone to pay $35. You'd be lucky to get $15-20 for that.

Keep positive! 10 OG, yield, and a bunch of cool 7" are all very possible.

Yea, its a shame the didn't partner the Tres Mts. with a more sought after 7". But again, there are way more duds on the the list than good stuff...so I guess they couldn't help having a lot of dud packages.

Eeek. My hopes rest on 2-5 OG Ten's and 5-10 Yield's . Throw those against the almost 300 non ed LP's out there. I'm dooooomed! hehe

Curious for all of you who have been tracking. I've been able to track it up until now using the UPS Mail Innovations tracking system, but it fell off their grid on Friday, and it's not showing up on the USPS system. What has everyone who has already received one used to track the last couple steps of the package?

These "mystery packages" have always been a way for them to dump unwanted stuff. I think we all got a bunch of stuff we wouldn't buy along with the "good stuff" in previous mystery boxes.

Mine had no action on the UPS site from Friday until early this morning...it's probably on the back of a truck somewhere.

Yeah I just looked again and it did update this morning. So according to this, it took 3 postal days to "process."

So the mystery vinyl sale page here now just says the date "December 31 1969"...... I wonder if there is any significance to that date???

In short, Unix considers time = 0 to be on January 1st, 1970 GMT. Hence, in the Western hemisphere, that would be December 31st, 1969. It's likely to do with how the database entries are deleted - the remaining timestamp would be time = 0.

It's a Powerball ticket.. for $2, you *could* win $200 million or you could win squadoosh!

If you don't play, well, you won't win.

well...with the 'mystery sales' you at least get "something"...with a powerball ticket, if you don't win...well, you just contributed to someone else's jackpot...and probably contributed to some state fund of some sort.

Well true, but it all depends how you look at it. A 2011 annual single with a black Backspacer could be squadoosh, as you just spent $60 on something you already have...but yeah, it's still *something* tangible.

Again with the Backspacer! C'mon! Its a great fucking record!

MookieBlaylockMN

I don't think anyone is disputing that Backspacer's a great record - I love it. I just don't want to receive a second black copy since I dropped $50 on this sale, and I already own a copy of it that I paid less than $20 for.

Now if it comes with Sevens....

MayDay10

wow. With all these Avocados and Lost Dogs bouncing around.... I'm very bummed I couldn't get through with the sale.

wg

Honestly, I spin Backspacer quite frequently. I think it's a solid record, even if I'm in the minority.

If I get it, I will probably send it to my buddy who got me my 10c membership for my birthday, because I don't need two, and he is the fucking man and the reason I was able to get in on the mystery vinyl in the first place!

LiveAtLeeds

Other than see my friend and Johnny guitar, I'd say it's up there with their best. The run from just breath through to unthought known is probably by favourite of any album ever. But I'd still be disappointed even if I got a white backspacer, I want a new record to spin, preferably by pearl jam haha.
