What happens if we're still in line to buy records when our tour slot rolls around?

And I just bid on your eBay auction for that hand-written, signed, and hand-delivered confirmation.

Please tell me you're serious and someone is actually selling something like this one ebay...

This store is a lot bigger, so they can let in more people than Nashville, so I assume you'll be fine, but in that situation I would leave the records and go hit up the tour. I am assuming there will be plenty of the records available all day long..

Yeah, that one's a no-brainer, I would say.

Anyone got guesses on what all these releases will cost? Wondering if things may be cheaper since it's all in house....or higher to cover those big machines.

It's tough to say. I would initially say higher because that's what seems to happen, but it should even out. The profit margin from an external pressing plant would be eliminated however the economies of scale would be eliminated and there would still need to be internal profit for the pressing plant, I can't imagine they run it solely as an operating cost.

What has been the going rate on "limited" LP variants lately? $50?

What, is Jack trying to get some street cred back or something? The Mummies!? Oblivians!? Someone's getting PAID!

So stabs in the dark...
White Stripes / MC5 / Stooges Lps - $50 each
Split 12" & Johnson Family LP - $30 each
7"s - $20 each

Total for Records - $250

Fuck, that's not even including posters...

I am not getting all the records...That's just so much money..

I'm surprised they haven't yet announced a bunch of new clothes and other merch yet, too.

I don't have any more money for that

I highly doubt the WS/MC5/Stooges LPs will be $50 each. Maybe Stooges will be more because it's a double LP but $50 is steep for something they are trying to get people in the door to buy. You can charge more while selling less or charge less while selling more. For an event like this, I'd think they'd go with the latter. The WS splits were $50 each but there was a specific number produced for those, these I haven't seen anything about the numbers being limited except for the day of sale. Tricolors are limited to 150 pieces at $15 each last I heard (or is it $20 now?) If the single LPs are more than $25 each I'll probably skip the MC5 and Stooges records sticking with the WS releases. I'd rather buy other swag than those two records. There's a Rob Jones poster to be considered for purchase, if you're into that sort of thing....

Oh, and speaking of posters... I have a ridiculous number of poster tubes in my kitchen so I'm going to throw them in the trunk of my car and bring them with me to Detroit. If anyone needs one on Saturday, come find me.
