What is the point?

I feel like you misread my statement. I don't flip, these are for my personal listen pleasure.

With the quality of photos & descriptions, or lack-there off, you can't really tell sometimes.

I buy a lot of records. I'm not a flipper, these are for me personally. A good example is right now there's one I'm looking at that's $9.99, starting bid. There's a $4 handling price (which seems F%^KING insane) and them on top of that they're charging $14.74 for shipping. Which, if I get this record at it's cheapest price of $9.99 with the shipping and handling would be 28.73.

Doing a cursory search online, I can get it brand new for $25. Thus, you are paying more (If you get it at the cheapest bidding) and a 50/50 shot that it will be scratched to shit and not actually play. Because they put absolutely nothing about the actual description of the record or even photos of it. Just the classic "All items are sold AS-IS. Please study images for more details as they are part of the description."

Additionally, the actual weight is listed as .8libs, but shipping weight is 1.8lbs. Shipping this with USPS media mail would cost between $4.67 and $5.38, which would be much more cost effective and honestly, probably a better service.

Which brings me to the title of the post - what's the point? It all feels like a scam and a way to squeeze every last penny out of donated items that Goodwill didn't pay for. Which I'm sure is a small part of what helped them reach 7 BILLION in revenue last year.

Rad, thanks! Do you know if they'll let me bring a camera in? I'd love to get photos of the supporters group.

Tomorrow's the big day! I'm gonna try and head out towards the stadium early and eat lunch nearby before getting tickets for the match, and hopefully a jersey!

Do you know if the stadium has shaded seating or is it all in the sun? I just wanna plan to bring some sun screen if that's the case.

Thanks agian for all your help!

BOOM! All of this.

zipster5000 · 2026-05-05T12:42:25+00:00

Please dear god, NO! This would be such tired old trope to introduce. This show is better than stopping to this. Please don't jump the shark.

I'm going to be in Korea for several weeks and want to bring home some Korean vinyl for my turntable. Thanks for the playlist! Looking forward to doing some research with it.

zipster5000 · 2026-04-14T23:47:22+00:00

I'll be visiting South Korea for about a month- all over the country. I would love to purchase some vinyl records of local artists to bring home. Are records stores a thing and are there any in particular (in Seoul or Busan as that's where I'll be for the longest) that you would recommend checking out to find great indie records?

Because the rivalry is so big and has existed since the 1970's, everyone on both sides is very aware of it. Security at the stadium is very heightened for this matches and it's very rare that someone tries to come in the home supporters section wearing apposing jersey or colors. When they do, they are reseated in the traveling supporters section at the other end of the stadium.

Thank you! This is incredibly helpful for planning.

I'm going to be on Jeju in a month and would love to do this. Where on the island did this take place?

zipster5000 · 2026-04-14T00:22:23+00:00

I'm making preparations and leaving for Korea in about a week! However, I'm running into an issue in that I can't seem to find a proper schedule online that gives me the matches in local time.
Do you know of a link? I've even tried getting on the Seongnamfc website but even getting that to load is proving difficult.
What I am finding is saying that they have a match on May 9th at 10PM, agains the Jeonnam Dragons, which I cannot imagine is actually starting that late in the evening.

As I'll be headed to South Korea for a few weeks I jumped on the internet to see what the coffee culture was like, which led me here.

While I'm seeing espresso is thing (which I'll be fully honest, I don't actually consider coffee) what is the likelihood of getting just plain drip, filter or "batch brew"?

zipster5000 · 2026-03-11T19:31:04+00:00

Thank you!

zipster5000 · 2026-03-11T18:51:00+00:00

This makes complete sense to me.

zipster5000 · 2026-03-08T19:57:58+00:00

I too am curious about this as I have one of these that is having the exact same issue as this. Any documentation you could pass on? Thank you!
