I had 4 albums on my list, got 3 at my first stop at 8 am at West Bend Exclusive Company, missing only Easy Street. Ten hours later, after visiting two more Exclusive Co. locations, found it at Bull’s Eye Records in downtown Milwaukee. Snagged a bunch of other used cds and vinyl, as well as the RSD bag with Pearl Jam button. Successful day!
Tried Bullmoose for an REM/BHJ this morning to no avail. Add to Cart button appeared twice but both times I clicked it I was beaten to the punch. Still showing stock in one store, but can't buy online for some reason. Would really like this if anyone has any leads - for cost. I'm not paying flipper prices.
EDIT: P.S. If anyone knows hot to write a bot script, advice would be welcome. Humans can't beat them except by pure luck, so may as well join them.

The buy button still hasn't shown up for Floyd. Argh!
Record store day has really increased in becoming an annoying flipper's paradise, huh?
I havent participated in a few years, but this year, really wanted the PJ and Green Jelly. After I gave my kids breakfast and played with them, I walzed up to the nearest record store and found nothing from RSD I would want, even with like $50 burning a hole in my pocket. One of the owners of the record store was talking to another customer on how everything was gone, early AM and how many people were waiting in chairs outside.
I just cant do that shit any more. Being a music fan shouldn't entail constantly waiting in line and obsessing about secondary market pricing.
So if anyone sees a Green Jelly (that's the one I would like as it has sentimental value and I believe the PJ one will be an easy score before long), then I would appreciate a lead.
I didn't get Billy Joel Duran Duran Howard Stern Prince Robert Plant Woodstock mono
I did get PJ Green Day John Lennon Pete Rock Big Hits green mono and Big Hits Vol. 2 orange stereo and non RSD's Outkast Stankonia sealed and Bob Dylan Infidels Used
That John Lennon record is pretty effing eye opening.
I also got that PJ button in the swag bag from Ka-chunk!! records.
The $5 Bob Dylan Infidels USED sounds and looks like it was played once. The out of focus cover picture on this record ALWAYS bothered me, but not the one on Blonde on Blonde. Great unsplit paper sleeve and if my Columbia Records dead wax etching reading is accurate, a semi-earlier pressing. Also Available on Cassette. If only his band had any talent.
I think it's gotten better. The prices things go for now on the secondary market are as insane as they were a few years ago. While popularity of vinyl continues to increase so does the size of the pressing. It wasn't so long ago I remember there being 3000 copies of something, then 5000, and now it seems close to 7000 just for the North American pressings.
Yah you need to lineup which really does suck, but I usually get inline about 40 minutes early. Takes an hour to get in. I do it once a year. There's always one (or two records) that they got shorted on in the order, or didn't come out in Canada, but for the most part if I put in a little effort it works out. Usually I'm pretty quiet, but I had a great time talking to the people around me in the lineup this year.

And now the Bingo is completely sold out on Bullmoose. WTF? Still not buy button for Floyd. I know my local store had one copy. They're closed today and only open til 3 tomorrow. I'll stop up after work Weds and see if it's still there.
I just finished spinning the Jerry Garcia Band - Electric on the Eel set. Hot damn! What a great sounding set of records.
Hell yeah dude! I passed on it but I’ve heard the show before, it’s phenomenal! I’m kicking myself, but it took all I could to not get it- I can’t open that JGB rabbit hole, there’s a lot of good stuff.
