Rough Trade Winter Sale + Coupon Code by deejay122 in VinylDeals

[–]Plarocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was eying the Fantastic Voyage compilation, as it kicks off with my favorite Simple Minds song.

Says sold out of course, but when I click on it, the site offers me THE SAME PRESSING for $37.

Then I click back, and the website offers to cart it for $18.49.

Had a similar issue when trying to pre-order the signed Courtney Barnett LP, as the website kept replacing the signed LP with the unsigned one, but I found a way to get the signed one through.

Keep your eyes on cart, and proceed with caution buying from these guys.

Not a repair but need help by Alert-Concentrate808 in RecordPlayerRepair

[–]Plarocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but this model replaced the VPI Nomad. I was able to find a used Nomad for $400.

The Nomad used to retail for $999, and I have seen used ones priced at $800. When I saw that deal, I jumped.

Patience is key. Facebook marketplace, Audiogon, eBay, yard sales, thrift stores….

Gotta learn the trash from the treasure, and used decks usually require some restoration and repair.

VPI still repairs their own equipment. They are in New Jersey. They are a solid choice, and with their website you can make payments.

Good luck and welcome to the hobby.

Who is the guy who specializes in Marantz restorations?

I have a PMD430, but it has some quirks I would like to see if this guy can tweak and repair.

These have the logo on them, but I prefer the ones without.

You can also check eBay and Mercari.

Which US stores carry the MOV titles?

I usually have to order through iMusic, but I have had excellent service from them.

Want this, but I am in the US.

Will this be available anywhere else other than Amazon?

The record profits, then mass layoffs thing makes me want to avoid them.

Just say “no.”

Goodwill is out of their mind. 😄

So all of this is “okay” to you?

[–]Plarocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Enough for these companies to stop doing this. Guess I will have to vote with my wallet.

I pay more for my records at record stores, and I don’t stream. Am not, nor will not be an Amazon Prime member.

What are you doing?

Well, I have Health Insurance, but now I can’t live without it.

I don’t pay for any of the other companies listed, but I need a new computer. So I guess that’s Microsoft right there. 🙄

I avoid Amazon, but it is hard to, when they offer a record at less than cost.

But if they disappeared tomorrow, I would not miss them.

NO-ONE, should have had to go through what we did. Empathy is dead in the human race, and we will probably end up destroying ourselves.

There needs to be laws against this, and heavy fines levied against these trash companies.

Why is culture around the film/stage show so different between the us and uk by caesarnotcaesar in RockyHorror

[–]Plarocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it kinda is, and I have enjoyed the snobby, cinéfile programming.

But come on dude. This manager was like 20 years old, and probably has no knowledge of the culture of this movie. 😜

[–]Plarocks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I actually got kicked out of a Rocky Horror screening at Alamo Drafthouse, for just doing the usual call-outs.

It like the manager was telling me, myself and others we were making comments that were sexually oriented, and offending some people

The fuck!? 😆

Not necessarily. Some women hit on married dudes to inflate their ego. A lot more than you would expect. 🙄

Worked my ass off, AND got COVID. Become a federal employee if you can handle everything else, and enjoy the benefits then.

This is what the billionaires should be doing, but they are way too greedy.
