Cool. I also worked there. And I shopped there for years and years. There were times they cost more. Not all the time. But it happened.

 

I went into a local used record store specifically to see if I could find it. It was sitting front and center and only $8

 

I worked at an FYE in a mall in Illinois

 

I don’t remember ever buying a CD over $12 from there. I just remember when they actually sold CDs. No más!

 

I feel like in the early 2000s I’d walk into Best Buy every Tuesday and new release cds were 5.99-9.99, and dvds were like 9.99. I’d drop like $40 and get a movie or two and 2-3 cds.

 

I definitely paid 15-20 dollars at Best Buy for a CD in the early 2000s. Vividly remember The Wall, Coconuts, and FYE being the stores that were a complete rip off though. 25 dollars easily depending on the release. Same with their DVDs.

 

Yeah, I remember the mall music stores, Barnes & Noble, and Borders being the most expensive, for sure.

 

It’s here!

 

Me too! Crazy prices on Discogs…

 

Speaking of Blink adjacent bands.....I want When Your Heart Stops Beating repress plz.

 

SRC had a "vault" find of 7 copies. They obviously didn't charge retail of what they charged back when they released this variant. But I figured I'd pay the cash since I know it goes for double (and then some) for what it goes for on Discogs.

 

Wow, when and where did that pop up?

 

Yeah is there a way to set up notifications if they have a vault release?

 

Wild discount price if you still need it and want to trust them to actually mail it.

Shipping from Canada made this close to the prices I see on US sites. Gotta grab this at some point, just balancing the right price with seeing fewer copies in the wild

 

I think I've had an order get cancelled when they said it was in stock. They also double shipped me an order twice. I think that's about the weird experiences I've had with them. But I'm glad I never pre ordered any of their exclusives from 2019. That's where folks had issues with them.

But yeah I seldom order from them but my AvA showed up a few days after I ordered. Albeit, I didn't get a shipping notification.

Cartel ST has been on discount forever now. At least 2 years haha.

 

Nahh, I just follow them on Facebook. They announced a vault release but didn't say who it was. They said to sign up for their newsletter for news... I did and didn't even get one. I was just on their website at 9am and saw it get added so I figured that was the vault release. It was $99 cdn. But figured that's the cheapest I'd get it...

Their last vault release was Far's first album. It's still available but I ordered that off Thirty Something and I'm still waiting on it.

 

The initial post. I can say it wasn't gone that quick. I grabbed the first copy and it was still in stock for at least an hour.
