This album is a must have in my opinion, it's great all the way through, one of NIN's best and one of the best of the year for me... Superb.

New:

Nine Inch Nails - Hesitation Marks.

Hey, did you see the rumour yesterday of NIN & QotSA touring together down here sometime? I didn't look into it but it was flying around, I guess Facebook, yesterday.

Sealed. I totally love this album.
Only one more to go and I'll have every studio album!

Wow, congrats :thumbup: I'm officially jealous Still a couple more lacking in the PJ collection here ... We decided to put every penny into touring for now ... I hope you ripped it open and put it on the decks right away

I am feeling somewhat devastated now. :( This just arrived, and the ASSHOLE who sold it to me seems to have made a point of packaging it as poorly as humanly possible. He just took 2 pieces of flimsy cardboard that isn't even as big as the album, put the album between them, and stuck it in a fucking oversized padded envelope. He didn't even bother taping the pieced of cardboard together. The album has just been flying around with literally no protection at all for two weeks through the USPS system. It's fucking mangled. All of the corners are damaged, and two of them are completely ruined. Crushed, creased, bent. It's so damaged even the booklet inside is bent. The vinyl itself looks okay, so that's something, but fuck man. I paid $300 for it. And the real kicker is that I paid $35 for shipping, but, unbeknownst to him I would imagine, the postage tells me exactly how much he spent on shipping. $16. What a fucking scumbag. I emailed him - who has been SUPER nice via email, incidentally - and confronted him with the discrepancy in shipping costs, and said that the left over money would have been well spent on fucking decent packaging. I wonder if he'll even reply. Probably not. So now what?? Do I just suck it up and feel shitty every time I look at the album with profound damage? Or do I make a claim through paypal? I really don't know.
Sucks.
I can't believe that fucking guy. :evil:

that is fucking bullshit, do not mess with PJ vinyl collectors :nono: :nono: :nono:

I just opened a dispute on paypal asking for $89 back ($70 for lost value, which I think was generous, and $19 shipping). Hopefully he just agrees to it.
I am feeling kind of bad for him for some reason, like maybe he's just THAT stupid... he seemed so nice and friendly, and I convinced him to ship to Canada.... but then I remember that he tried to get away with the cheapest shipping possible so he could steal $19 from me, so forget it, I don't feel bad.

Don't feel bad at all! That's a crock of shit!!! :x

I agree- no reason to feel bad at all. In fact, I would ask for much larger percentage of the cost of the LP plus some of the shipping overage. On occasion I've bough books on line for my customers and if the item is poorly packaged and there is any damage I tell the seller "I will return your item for a full refund including shipping BOTH WAYS or you can let me keep the book, tell me how much you want to give as a refund and I will consider your offer before leaving feedback". I don't give sellers any slack this way because when I sell a book online, I go out of my way to pack books that I have shipped in such a way that they can literally be dropped out of a second or third floor window and remain undamaged. There is no excuse for poor packing and negligent sellers need to be held accountable!

I told him I'd pursue exactly that (full refund including shipping both ways) if he refused my offer. So he can either just give me the $89 or we can get into it with PayPal moderating.... Brutal though. I am starting to regret asking for so little back... Would someone buy a sealed one with this much damage for $230?? I don't know. The prices are high these days. But anyway, it really is a disappointment to look at this thing and know that it was mint before this guy did what he did. What a waste. :fp: And this kind of damage speeds up the aging process a LOT, so it's just going to look shittier and shittier as time goes on no matter how carefully I handle it. :( But they are really hard to find these days, so I don't want to give it up either... maybe someday I'll buy another one, I don't know. Anyway, just going to have to suck up my compulsively dramatic sorrow over this damage and try to enjoy playing the record even though the mangled jacket is sitting there laughing at me.

Sucks that it arrived in such a damaged state, The one I just picked up in August had some crushed corners as well...but I knew they were a little dented before I purchased it. I guess a great deal of the 10C orders originally came with damaged corners, but the kicker was 10C had nothing left to replace them with. Mine was shipped in the mosy amazing packaging, so further damage didn't occur. Your seller should have been more careful. Hope he gives you some $ back.

NY- Rust Never Sleeps (Used)
QOTSA- ...Like Clockwork
Pearl Jam- The First Coming (10/23/90 Studio Rehearsal)
NY- Mirror Ball (Sealed '95 US Pressing)

Oh boy PJ_Soul, so sorry to hear this. What a fucktard :x You would think that people who sell stuff like this and get so much money for it know how precious it must be to the buyer and pack accordingly. Fingers crossed you get this resolved.

And I saw an Avocado today on discogs for 200$. I would love to whip these out, but tour is coming, and I have other priorities!
