Ya I was just thinking the same thing. With everyone having different schedules and catching different items, we might all just try and grab whatever possible. We can start some sort of trading thread like the roulette trade thread. I feel like not many people would be on the same page with that though.jamesmonzon1 wrote:Funny yall mentioned this.

Then you end up only paying the price of the item you wanted.Hamptonio wrote:xoxo and pm'd.bkramer10 wrote:Send me what you'd want if it were to be for sale, and I'll try to snag it for youHamptonio wrote:tomorrow couldn't be busier for me.
i might have to just start trying on thursday.
So if anyone wants to try and do this I'll buy whatever I can and do the trade (no inflated prices crap).

Fuck it. If people don't like it, don't participate. Sure, there would be things that people might not want to part with that they weren't necessarily THINKING they wanted, but hell...I think overall it needs started. arewhyehen, you on it?arewhyehen wrote:Ya I was just thinking the same thing.

I'm in.
If I can pick up a few tris to trade or whatever pops up and help someone else who missed out, I'm more than happy.

Does anybody think they'll have something right out of the gate at 9?

Re: Holiday Refresh-a-thon
Putting a big item out first would get people excited and worried about missing something else. Look at the roulette prizes, huge items went out first to get more people to try their luck.

THE WHITE STRIPES - S/T SPLIT COLOR

Re: Holiday Refresh-a-thon
I already got the pre-Refreshathon Mojo Black Belles $200 bundle. I'd happily split that up into $100/$50/$50 as part of a for-cost trade if somebody can get a Cosmos for cost.

Re: Holiday Refresh-a-thon
The prices they'll have for the pricier items are going to be interesting . . . the example of the BB bundle, that was a great price for 2 tri's and the Absinthe. Weren't they originally back in the beginning days selling Live in Las Vegas for $250? If one of those popped up at that price, it'd be pretty sweet. This is going to be a wild ride to Friday . . .

Re: Holiday Refresh-a-thon
I know GBMS has always been $250, but I'm pretty sure LILV was only sold on opening day of the physical store. I don't remember anyone buyinig it after that from the store, but GBMS has been available sporadically over the past couple years although not recently. I would also like to direct everyone's attention to the announcement, it said "But what may get fans most excited is our Pop Up Sales featuring some specialty items and rare records from the TMR catalog." This leads me to believe it will only be TMR catalog numbers, not older stuff that was distributed by other labels.woodisgood wrote:The prices they'll have for the pricier items are going to be interesting . . . the example of the BB bundle, that was a great price for 2 tri's and the Absinthe.

Re: Holiday Refresh-a-thon
I keep refreshing, but nothing is happening.....I wonder if this will be like the WS Starter kit a few years ago where it was supposed to go onsale at midnight or something and wasn't available for another 8 hours because someone forgot to turn the sale on. That was the starter kit, right?

Hopefully smoother than the Kraftwerk ticket sale at the Tate Modern London - their web server crashed and they have been using the old fashioned phone system for placing orders....
