10C Contest Winner Gets Used Vinyl

My wife won the recent newsletter contest for a bundle of singles. After finally going through them today, I've noticed that over half of them look like they were already well used. Here's a pic of one that is easily the worst, but seriously, did someone clean out their personal used collection for the contest? Has anyone else experienced something like this from one of the contests?

    I guess it’s more authentic this way?

    I’m guessing it’s possible they were returned by someone and then over the years staff may have misfiled them with new merch or someone forgot they were defective.  I’m sure it wasn't intentional.

    Which ones are banged up? Maybe someone here has extras they can send your way.

    Assuming she reached out to 10C to see of they could help out? If so and no help was given, then that does indeed suck.

    I'd be upset if they weren't free but they were so it's just kind of weird?

    Yikes. Photo on the right looks like Stone and Mike etched their signatures into it? :i_dunno:

    Seriously tho...sorry, OP. Must've been for your wife a mountaintop to learn about the win followed by a valley when she received beat-up records.

    what did she get! The suspense is killing me. Mystery mystery mystery bundle.

    Yikes! Those records have been abused.

    These were the singles sent. No email received, just the post.

    Nice pile. Thx

    Running right to the forum without giving them a chance to rectify is bad form. It's a prize.

    With it being a prize in a contest, would it matter if they were used or not? Not like it said "Win a bundle of sealed singles". 

    Not saying they should be scratched up. But not like they were paid for.

    Certainly an odd move to throw it on here without contacting the Tenc first. I am sure they would have resolved this very quickly too.

    These were meant for the free 7" with the 5 year anniversary Gigaton purchase.

    I’m trying to read between the lines here… are the scratched vinyls not amongst the ones in the photo posted by Santos?
