    If only that mattered...still have a day or 2 before delivery AFTER the package enters the USPS system!!
    UPS Mail Innovations is pretty reliable as far as this goes!!
    So you're saying I can't friggin' drive to Grove City and pick the dang thing up myself? :(

    Yeah, I'm sure I'll get mine Thursday or Friday... *sigh*

    Mine was in Forest Park yesterday and just arrived in Chicago at 7AM. We should hopefully have them today.
    Same. Mine was transferred to Naperville post office this morning and is now out for delivery. My mail usually comes after I leave for work, so I probably won't see what I got until I get home from work.

    Trying to stay positive, but with 1.84...I'm 90% sure I'm going to get one of the 'Non ed' solo lp's.

    That package has a market value of like $35. I wonder if now we will see a string of duds, or will people just not post them.
    Yeah a market value that few people would ever pay. If you throw that package on ebay, fat chance you'd ever get anyone to pay $35. You'd be lucky to get $15-20 for that.

    Keep positive! 10 OG, yield, and a bunch of cool 7" are all very possible.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Yea, its a shame the didn't partner the Tres Mts. with a more sought after 7". But again, there are way more duds on the the list than good stuff...so I guess they couldn't help having a lot of dud packages.

    Eeek. My hopes rest on 2-5 OG Ten's and 5-10 Yield's . Throw those against the almost 300 non ed LP's out there. I'm dooooomed! hehe

    Curious for all of you who have been tracking. I've been able to track it up until now using the UPS Mail Innovations tracking system, but it fell off their grid on Friday, and it's not showing up on the USPS system. What has everyone who has already received one used to track the last couple steps of the package?

    These "mystery packages" have always been a way for them to dump unwanted stuff. I think we all got a bunch of stuff we wouldn't buy along with the "good stuff" in previous mystery boxes.

    Mine had no action on the UPS site from Friday until early this morning...it's probably on the back of a truck somewhere.

    So the mystery vinyl sale page here now just says the date "December 31 1969"...... I wonder if there is any significance to that date???

    In short, Unix considers time = 0 to be on January 1st, 1970 GMT. Hence, in the Western hemisphere, that would be December 31st, 1969. It's likely to do with how the database entries are deleted - the remaining timestamp would be time = 0.

    It's a Powerball ticket.. for $2, you *could* win $200 million or you could win squadoosh!

    well...with the 'mystery sales' you at least get "something"...with a powerball ticket, if you don't win...well, you just contributed to someone else's jackpot...and probably contributed to some state fund of some sort.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Well true, but it all depends how you look at it. A 2011 annual single with a black Backspacer could be squadoosh, as you just spent $60 on something you already have...but yeah, it's still *something* tangible.
