The waiting drove me mad... Mystery vinyl arrival all encompassing trip.

sloanedog

Hello Benny, I'm brad I have rndm mystery sale. I sit in my tres mtns eating avocado patting my ten legged dog. Wondering what vinyl will be delivered to those who made it thru. What a mad season this competition was it was like a lightning bolt went of in a coke bottle. When the white screen of death it appeared it made my backspacer turn white. The place went into the wild while others just went on in life. The riot act continues thru the rear view mirror I gaze say to my self thank god I'm alive. Good luck to those who were fortunate sons and Daughters who made it thru. Keep on rockin in the free world. It's the music we cherish so kick out the jams. Peace

Since I'm in Europe, I won't have a tracking number, so the mystery is if it will arrive at all (have had things get lost on the way from 10C before) :-) I've worked out that there's about a 30% chance I will get something I want from the 12"es, which is not too bad (mainly 10, yield, RVM, LD, Avocado & PJ20)... Last mystery poster sale I ended up with a dud though, so I guess you never really know. But in any case it's been fun so far!

Its a shame that we dont have a tracking number for Europe aswell. 10c stuff in the past took about 1 month to get to portugal and i hope this time the boxset doesnt stop at custums.

here is my wishlist for LP : Pearl Jam , Yield , Lost Dogs , Riot Act , Into The Wild OST , Ukelele Songs , PJ20 , Rearview Mirror LP , Benaroya Hall Boxset

lets hope i get at least one of these (would love for Avocato more than Benaroya)

I live in MA and just checked my order status. I am also showing 2.2 lbs. and current location is "UPS MI". This is fun!

Well... I don't wanna rub anything in anybody's faces. I don't wanna bitch. This was supposed to be positive and about the anticipation. Sorry.

Don't let Mr. Happy up there ruin your fun. I personally don't get sarcasm, I think it's the poorest form of communication. Excited for everyone who has stuff coming their way!

Wait... isn't calling me Mr. Happy an attempt at sarcasm?

BTW. Congrats to everybody who scored the mystery vinyl. My point was that we seem to have MANY threads already regarding this topic - both positive and negative.

Perhaps they sent the over 2.2 lbs packages overseas

let that be true my friend

Morning! I hope no package gets lost and it is a pity that intl' doesn't have tracking. And that yoou guys have to wait so long. I will undust the good old packagemapping.com once the package is on it's way. As for now, I imagine it sitting on a pallet in the warehouse...

Leezestarr313

Oh and I think / hope the 2.2 is just a random number they give because they ship in bulk

PJForceofNature

I'll be eager to read the thread when everyone's vinyl starts arriving and see what people get! Good luck to all! (I decided not to even try, as I have so much stuff already-need to start getting rid of some stuff)

Hub.

I don't know what to expect. Maybe things I already have. :whistle:

Best thing would be one of these: the Benny Boxset, Lost Dogs, Avocado, Yield or Rearviewmirror (already have the other ones or not interested in side projects).

As for the 10" or 7": The Sevens Boxset, I'd do with a blue or an orange Fixer too (have most of the other ones and still not interested in side projects).

cant wait for this to arrive and it could be 2-3 weeks for us international folk, so it will be great to monitor this in the meantime and see what is landing in the states first......

themessenger

I have my tracking number, and it's 2.2 pounds as well. If this is anything like the shipping for Vault 4, I can't wait until it's shipped in 2-3 weeks!

Leezestarr313

Yeah, didn't it sit forever in the warehouse before it got actually shipped? Well, I hope this is not the case this time, but you never know...

Leezestarr313 said:

Oh come on. Nobody? We got the tracking numbers now. And theshipping weight. It would be interesting (and maybe discouragin) to know if there are any packages that weigh a different weight than 2.200 lbs, for example. Or let's fantasize about what we might get. Do you plan on filming it when you open the package? Are you waiting for your better half? Will you spin your vinyl? What are you hoping for? Questions, questions, questions!

Mine also weighs 2.2.

I wonder how they'll do that...obviously, a Benny weighs more than a single LP. Would people realize they get a Benny with a big box, or are all boxes the same size?

You can rip the Benny open and give it a spin before you send it!

WHAT? OPEN A BENNY? What are you thinking? Oh, yes-- spin, spin! :rock_on:

Leeze needs a Benny! Come on Mystery Benny Vinyl!

Woot, woot I hope if there is anybody out there who has a different package weight than 2.200, they will post in here. Or not. Sigh.

How big is your package? :rofl:

We're gonna have package-size comparing contests!!


As long as I don't get something I already have...and if I have a duplicate, oh well. I already have two of the "No Jeremy" singles!!

Leezestarr313

The whole weight thing drives me nuts, so I tried to find more info on the internet. I have only found this. And here somebody says:
"If the person you bought the computer from is a volume shipper with UPS then they will give him a bulk rate discount and charge an average weight per package for his business. For instance, if he sells 1 lb. batteries, 5 lbs. laptops and 15 lbs computers all day long then the average is 7 lbs."

One int'l friend says they saw a heavier weight when they ordered. But who knows, who knows...

Leezestarr313

And we got two No Jeremys as well. And two LBs. And coke Ten and original Ten. We'll see what happens. I'm not giving up hope yet! :rock_on:

It will be very interesting to see what the U.S. folk get while we wait for the international shipments to arrive. Quite a few of the LPs were listed as "5-10" copies (Benny, Lost Dogs, Riot Act etc) so I guess if they all show up early on we can cross them off the list before we get ours...

Just out of interest Paul, is there anything in particular you're hoping to get? Your collection is crazy impressive as it is, what would improve it from this sale?
