    I’m curious on what is the difference here on selling this record for more then the purchase price? When others here sell $35.00 SE posters for $800.00+ Or other items are market value? It seems a bit hypocritical?
    There is none but time.  Honestly IMO people who bought them to flip, trade or keep sealed and stashed away are all the same.  It’s just we call people flippers if they sell them right away and they call themselves record collectors if they are playing the long gain.  Flippers are just easier to get made at because it stings more since it happens right away and most of us who buy records are probably guilty of one of the other two things

    There has been talk that some stores did not receive their Sony distributed releases.  Sounds like distribution was a mess so more should pop up

    Thats RSD tho.  Its to create hype and get people pouring into independent record stores.  If every release was black and had 20,000 pressed you wouldn't have very good sales numbers on RSD for the shops.  The after effects of flippers and all that sucks but ive seen first hand how tiny shops benefit from RSD.  It really does create new regular customers.
    Right.  I was 4 hours away from a record store on Friday morning, so I didn’t bother till Saturday hoping to bottom feed and maybe find a PJ Unplugged. Needless to say I didn’t, but I visited 3 shops and bought something at each. I when grabbed the PJ from Easy Street online. None of that would have happened if not for the hunt that RSD creates.

    one of those stores I visited didn’t participate in RSD it’s first year of operation. Its second year it did. I spoke with the owner shortly after and asked how RSD went. He said it saved his business that year, with more sales revenue in one day than he did in the first 4 months of the year. That was 5 years ago, and the shop has expanded since.

    Thats incredible. 
    My favorite local shop is about 10x30 in size So you can imagine a line roping around the store.  I Became a weekly customer because of RSD four years ago.  I never thought to visit that tiny shop before.  Great owner. Great selection.  You love to see these guys like that benefit from this. What he brings in those two days a year is insane. Hunting down limited releases is a small price to pay as a collector to help keep these smaller shops going.

    Guys, chill. More are gonna pop up. It’s 2 days after the on sale. Pretty much every RSD release is available for retail price a few weeks after.


    yes, you may have to wait after the holidays to purchase (when people mark up for secondary sales), but 13k is ALOT of copies. Find your chill. Don’t over pay for this.

    In response to the email I sent right after purchasing requesting my refund if I did not actually purchase one. From the wording, it sounds like some may have?

    Regarding the bootleg CD.... you can report the listing on the eBay listing page.  It is fairly straight forward.

    I really dislike that store. They will always take your money for things they don't actually have. To their credit, they do eventually refund you, but this is how they operate.

    So I need to call my credit card company and dispute charges?
    As someone who works in reconciling credit card transactions for a large corporation, NO, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!  Always contact the merchant first to resolve any credit card charges.  If the merchant refuses to resolve it, or resolve it timely, then file a claim.  Disputes with your CC should always be a last resort.

    Not for me.  Another summer euro tour does nothing for me, unless it's to promote a new album.
