Does Record Store Day suck in 2014? • Nialler9

If you don't believe me, at 3pm on April 19th, go on to eBay.co.uk and eBay.com and search "record store day", and you'll see how grossly abused the original intentions of the day now are.

But how can you abuse intentions? Markets are amoral. You don't deserve anything just because you wanted to open a record shop. Fucking lifestyle capitalists, all morons.

I like that lifestyle capitalists exist - they make the world a better place.
And in fairness, nobody likes a tout, whether they are on the street or on e-bay.

Yeah just don't abuse their pure intentions. Or they'll kneecap you.

I'd imagine a bunch of tomorrows releases are on ebay already.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

I had a look a the RSD releases and really couldn't be bothered with any of them.

RAGE would want to watch their own pricing, €40 for some knackered record.

What was it?


did they do anything for RSD? They can't be an "official RSD shop" as they don't really do new releases,just used and local.right?

 

[Kermit McDermott]

No, just their regular stock. I've seen loads of records in there not exactly in the finest condition with a €40 price tag on them, because I was told "it's a first pressing". I'd understand if they were in excellent nick.

I kind of agree with them about the questionable "indie-ness" of Tower.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I don't get why they'd be so high and mighty about how authentic or not an indie Tower is,if they don't even take part themselves.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

True.

 

[Jim Daniels]

What exactly does indie mean anyway? Tower is 100 per cent Irish owned. They are not a chain or anything.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Indie to me means Kylie Minogue and Erasure slugging it out for number one position in the charts.

Your're on a major pop binge lately.

Yeah, I never darken their door because of their gougy prices.

If it helps my housemate made over 600 quid on a 7 inch he picked up in there for a fiver.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I'm glad he got a good price on that one,but super jealous he found it,I'd have been keeping it.

Paul Weller is disgusted with the ebay touts and won't be bothering with RSD anymore, according to the NME.
