Vinyl isn't dead yet...

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

my kid has been pestering me to find a cool way to display some of the funky colored vinyl I've been picking up
and I think this product fits the bill

this guy nailed on design

So I want to support the artist and was even happier to see a clear vinyl with an extra CD both signed for only $26
but the shipping was $21...so $47 to make this purchase

 grr that pretty much makes me not want to buy it.  Does it typically cost that much to ship vinyl overseas?
Feel like it would be better to just paypal $5 to arlo parks as they would get more money

Guess I could go to Bezo's house of sin and get the red vinyl edition for $20 including shipping

(which is what I did)

Yeah shipping has gone way up everywhere

I think as of a year ago to ship 1 LP from US to UK or Europe was $24! I pretty much have stopped buying albums from Europe


Thank god for media mail within the US

Same thing with that Killing joke / Hooky release
I just can't justify buying something where most of the money goes to shipping

[hutch]

We are all in the same boat

Ignoring the shipping for a moment, that ep is ~$35 for 3 songs. Kinda pricey.

By all means, it is growing (but still losing badly to streaming).

Where the hell is mine is the question I'm going to be emailing Matador here in a seocnd.

[StoneTheCrow]

Listened to that a few times today. Just as good as expected.

What's the most you've ever dropped on a single record? Not talking box sets as they tend to be expensive anyway.

I just balked at paying $40 for an ep. But I'm guilty of paying $250 for a record (only $100 was mine, but still....).

[hutch]

OMG I want to say I have paid $100 many times


But the only record I can actually find of doing so is $100 for the PIL Metal Box..the tin

Just not sure how much higher I have gone...

I mean I used to buy a ton of stuff on eBay but don’t have access to that info and just can’t remember

What record and you split the purchase?
