13,000 may be harder to get than you think. 

No. You’re wrong. This will be extremely easy to get.

Now who do you think was right? People paying 3 to 4 times retail is not “extremely easy to get”. Supply currently is far short of demand.

It was fairly easy to get if you checked with your store the day before to see what kind of allotment they got and went early enough.
Or if you checked here, discogs, and ebay for the places that sold it online for retail cost.

Granted some people's stores didn't get many, and some people can't wait in line for a few hours.
Demand exceeding supply, and people paying ebay prices doesn't mean it was hard to score.  It just means you had to be on it and maybe have some luck.  Some people pay ebay prices because that's easier for them than leaving the house or waiting in line.

I always meet cool people in line for prints, records, etc.  I actually like the experience.

Definitely me, since like 15 online stores are expecting shipment next week.

If they are sitting online at retail 2 weeks from today I’ll buy you an extra copy from any link you can provide. Since it”s “extremely easy” to get.

So has anyone actually received an email saying their order was shipped from Easy Street?  I got the order completed email.

I was in the same boat, so I emailed East Street today.  I got a quick response with a tracking number. It should arrive in Michigan tomorrow!!!! Just send them an email.

40 minutes ago received a new email from Easy Street Records.

"Matt Vaughan has sent you a package."

That includes a USPS tracking number.

Sweet!

Hub.

Still nothing from Tony's Muziekhuis today.

Well, there were strikes last week here, I'm going to to wait a little bit more before worrying.

Seriously, just wait till the newsletter drops tomorrow. You'll have 1,000 reasons why you'll be happy you didn't pay flipper prices or deal with stores trying to get an allocation.

Are these going to be going on sale at 10C anytime?

When I contacted ten club support, I was told no, because this was a "RSD Exclusive".

Live at Easy Street was a "RSD First".

Does anyone know who decides things like whether a release is RSD First vs Exclusive, print size, distribution, etc? Is it the artist/management? The record label? The RSD organization itself (assuming there is one)? Some combination?

Yeah, I have zero desire in lining up in the cold and dark either. If I wanted something bad enough to wait for hours in a line, I’m probably more willing to pay the extra $50 on eBay.

That's how most of my friends feel, and it's a big reason flippers flip.  It's a "convenience" fee to some, especially those whose time is worth more than the money.  The same friend would rather pay a lot more for his preferred seats than to take a chance in a Phish or Pearl Jam ticket lottery, and we all know it's pretty unlikely to land awesome seats with ticketmaster.  He often just uses stubhub to not deal with the hassle.  It must be nice I suppose.

When I was waiting in line for Phish posters in NYC, there were people getting paid to sit in line and hold people's places.  I think they were from a website, so there are companies making a cut on the whole thing too!

This is why I have no qualms with the person who gets in line a 5:00 am, scores ONE copy of each item they want, then decides to sell it later at a significant markup to someone who didn't want to "deal with the hassle".

For the people who simply couldn't get to a record store on time for whatever reason, I have sympathy and even empathy. I don't like that you either have to go without or resort to paying a huge markup online. I don't have a good answer that takes everyone into account (buyers, sellers, band, management, etc). It is what it is. I look at the positive side that if this is the worst societal problem we have to deal with, then we're doing pretty well. Unfortunately, it's not, so that's why I try not get too worked up. When it happens to me, I may allow myself to get pissed for a bit, maybe even post a snide remark here or somewhere else, but then just get over it. Either pay the "market rate", wait and hope, or just move on.

Life, as they say, is too short.

Sorry to be so preachy...

Can I get in one this? I've also been telling people to wait, because there is no way 13,000 were sold that day.

Translated to English that one say shipping available in 17 days... hmm

I gave it a shot. PayPal protection, why not.

My concern is that with RSD stuff, if you order and it doesn't show up, then it's even harder to find a copy a few weeks later....

If you find another for a good price and this shows up, sell one for cost, plus shipping and fees. I’d rather have a second than none.

You convinced me.  lol.   The shipping rate for that site seemed really good 5.99 Euros.   Hopefully it shows up

I can't get the Jeopardy music out of my head.  You seen any updates? They did promptly respond to my email in english when I realized the postal code was incorrect.

Ditch got copies in?   I went in there last week inquiring if they thought they'd get some late.   The guy was pretty adamant that they got the short end of the stick and wouldn't be getting any copies in.

Did you hear otherwise?

I went in yesterday and asked if they knew if they would get any of the late shipments in and he said they’d already got them. Helooked on the computer and said yea they got 2 in but they were already sold. Probably kept them for “friends” again.
