Do the buyers on Ebay realize that the album will be released in stores as well, or are they paying the huge price just to get the 7" ??
i have no idea what would possess those people... the responsibilty lies with the consumer tho to research these things before paying that kind of money... seems to me that anyone that would be interested in this album for that price would know of its store release... must just be banking on the release being extremely limited and the demand being extremely high... IMO the supply will be greater than the demand overall in the end (with the exception of maybe the 7" which i dont really care about all that much)

7" is available with the store version as well... not every store is getting it though.
I would definately check with the local store is I was them, but a couple of people here on the board that have bought their copy at a store (or at least reserved it) have said that their record store has all LP's accounted for and that they got 5 to 8 copies...

Ahhh, that sucks. You were so close - yet so far away.
My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

That's pretty douchey they told you that you missed it by .15 of a second. They should have just said they sold out. They took time to actually tell you that you missed it by that much time. That's like rubbing it in your face. That's lame.
I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.
A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.
just for the record before i make a statement on this and people comment>>>>
i did not want this vinyl and did not order it...
ok on to my point...this is poor business practices, plain and simple...there is no way you can justify "overselling" a product...you have to know what you have on hand before you announce selling something, to me thats just common sense..especially if your supposively a small business
hope it all works out for whoever ordered from these guys, but do remember it will be sold it stores, well minus the "little bonus 7" that comes with it, but oh well
kinda feel guilty for posting this but my order has now been shipped,i really wasnt expecting this as i replied to my order failed email with a stop f**king folk about message.
hopefully the people missing out will get sorted some how with a copy.
good luck

all the versions of this LP are the same... 10C, auralexploits and store copies comes with the booklet and the 7" ... so if anyone had bad luck with auralexploits I would start calling record stores to see if they can reserve you one

good luck with finding it in stores..
I emailed a UK online store specialised in Vinyls, including imports..their response:
We're having problems with that one ourselves, the Vinyl Films releases seem to be crazily limited. The best that I can suggest is that you keep an eye on our website in case we manage to get hold of any.

I emailed a UK online store specialised in Vinyls, including imports..their response:
I got mine.
But there are few people that have been able to get one at record stores here in the US so they are out there is just that they have to look real hard before they are all gone.

in the Us, you might have a chance, elsewhere, not one in hell!
What a joke this place is. 3 days later and i still have a pending payment on Paypal? They told the person who was .00015 seconds are something too late yet they still have all these payments on hold. Its kind of a problem when payments are on hold, i could be spending that money somewhere else!

I had a confirmation e-mail saying mine has been shipped (ordered Monday) - arrived this morning at 1.00am UK time (the e-mail!)
If your payment is pending on paypal, you still have the option of cancelling the transaction if you really want to spend your money somewhere else! They will take the money when they ship.
I have the best fiancée ever! She tried to order a copy of ITW from aural exploits on Monday as well and didn't tell me. She got one! It shipped today!
Intelligence is the key and she was locked out

i am starting to get annoyed. I ordered Monday, got thru, got the 2 confirmation emails and that is it. Charge still pending on my card, when I track the order on the auralexploits and it says not sent. But it seems that everyone else is finding out one way or another. i just need to know.

My payment from 1/21 was held, until today 1/23, the hold status was removed and my payment went through.
