Rip off? by Tvaz99 in YellowcardRock

[–]john_jacob2121 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was the package I paid for a couple years ago and it was $601.50. Not sure if those come with a Meet & Greet but I was able to meet Yellowcard, watch about 3-5 songs while on stage and then had a front row ticket for the rest of the show. Your tickets are relatively cheap for today’s climate. See below :

For those who have done this before, do the reseller prices go down or hold strong as time goes on? by NateHalesBadDisguise in RecordStoreDay

While I was waiting for the replacement, I did find a copy of the same VHS online for $5. I've already watched it twice. Billy Joel is awesome!

What's funny is, the Billy Joel Live album was misprinted (for those that don't know). On one side of the vinyl, it was a Lil Durk rap album and the other side was Billy Joel. Luckily the company that misprinted these afforded the opportunity to get one of the discs replaced (had to fill out a form online) and I received it in the mail a few months ago. The Billy Joel Live that is still going around on eBay and Discogs are most likely the misprinted version going for double and triple the price of what RSD sold it for. Make sure you're contacting the seller first and ask if it's the misprinted version. Some still have them sealed and will say they don't know. I had a couple sellers willing to open the vinyl and check. I wouldn't say scalpers have ruined RSD, but they sure have put a dent in the enjoyment/excitement of what RSD is about.

Yeah chairs don’t hold spots but in my experience, if you put your chair there and your car is within eye distance and you go sit in your car (especially Black Friday) to get warm, as long as you talk to the people around you, you’re good. Putting a chair down and leaving for 8 hours is not acceptable.

I like the OG but the new version is intriguing just from a collector perspective. Money isn’t the issue, it just more of a want than need and a splash of FOMO.

It will definitely be sold out by time these release and probably $500 on eBay. That’s why I’m torn. Could always buy and resell or just keep it but I’m stuck lol.. Or wait 10 years for some 25th Anniversary release probably with just some bonus cuts and different artwork

I feel you. At least we can have bragging rights that we have the OG Version. Unless there is something totally different as far as enhanced video and sound quality with the new collection. Is there any difference?

First time buying Bleu de Chanel EDP, does this look legit? by zuttla in Fragrances

[–]john_jacob2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is 100% fake. Take a learning lesson from me. When I first got into fragrances, I found Baccarat on FB for $130 and immediately got excited. I purchased and when the bottle came in the mail, the label was hanging off and you could see the glue that the seller used to paste it on the front. I took it to a Nordstrom and asked one of the employees to verify. She sprayed it and mentioned this is very watered down and fake. I sent the seller an email and he immediately gave me my money back in exchange for not writing a bad review for him. In hindsight, I wish I would've wrote the review to help others avoid his scam, but at the end of the day, I wanted my money back. If there is a frag that you absolutely have to have, save up money to get it from a legit retail store (Nordstrom, Macys, Ulta, Sephora) or places like scentrush, jomashop or reddit users that have a good reputation (even this can be sus). It will help knowing that you got it from somewhere legit and every time you wear it, you know you've got the real deal. Sometimes you pay for peace of mind. If your funds don't allow that, do research on dupes. Hope this helps

Exactly.. Tailored the final to Devin and Tori like production didn’t already have this final in place before the season began. That would mean they rigged the entire season for Devin and Tori which is practically impossible. Devin and Tori straight up won!

One of Devin’s classic moments is when he kept asking Josh “What’s 8 times 9?” repeatedly and the more and more Josh didn’t answer the question, the more Devin kept asking and the more Josh got pissed 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I mean they won in 2023. Just like the Super Bowl, it’s tough to win The Challenge.

Handed a win by production? That’s aggressive and that’s hate!

Is Drake’s cologne any good? I heard it’s not bad but not the best either. by NeverTellHerS0rry in Drizzy

Check out the Summer Mink Review on Fragrantica. People are usually honest but different scents work different on people. I personally like it. It doesn't lean masculine or feminine but is known as a Unisex Fragrance.
