Is the 4LP set gonna come with the DVD?  I'd probably buy it anyway, but....

I hereby renounce my previous post.

Yeah, I just lazily checked eBay completed listings and went with what seemed to be averages.   Maybe asking too much given condition/pressings.  I think I might be better off trading these for beers....

Used Records For Sale/Auctions/Wantlists / FS: Roxy Music's first two LPs
« on: February 23, 2010, 04:46:32 PM »
Got spares of:

Roxy Music 'S/T' - Atco US press.  Cover is VG+ with small promo saw cut, a hint of ring wear, and what appear to be fingernail indentations from where someone pulled off a sticker.  Vinyl is NM-.
$14 ppd in the US
 
Roxy Music 'For Your Pleasure' - Atco US press.  Cover is VG with ring wear, edge/corner wear and promo saw cut.  Vinyl is a conservative VG, very shiny with some superficial scuffs/hairlines.
$8 ppd in the US

You can have both for $19 ppd in the US.

PM if interested.  Might be open to offers if they sit around for a while....

Non-Music Shit / Re: height of Technics SL-1200 with open dust cover

Don't wait too long....

Might be a rumor, but still.

I've been doing some serious stereo system upgrades lately, but there is very little out there that I'd trade my 1200mk2 for, and what I would trade it for would cost in the thousands.   Higher-end vintage Thorens, Duals, etc. are nice, but can be really expensive, and from what I've read on the audiophile forums the sound differences are negligible, and many actually prefer the 1200s.  The 1200 has a more "in your face" sound than the vintage belt drives, which probably match nicely with the tastes of a lot of people around here (as would its legendary durability).  From what I understand, the cartridge used makes a bigger difference on sound quality than anything else (assuming, of course, you don't slap a nice cartridge on a total POS turntable).

Yeah, it's sorta pricey, but I it's a better deal than most opiate painkillers off the street, and the high is very similar (to the milder ones, that is, not Fentanyl and morphine and all that shit).  I actually like it better in a way, as it has a mildly speedy effect, and it seems to last longer for me.  My wife has a nasty cold, so I ordered some of this a few days ago:

28 grams in an ounce.  I usually dose between 3-6 grams (1-2 tablespoons).  Works every time.  So you can do the math.

Coupon code BBBREPORT gives you 10% off.

And, it helps the common cold....

Oral ingestion.  Some people make tea.  Others mix it up in smoothies.  When I did it, I just dumped the powdered leaf in my mouth and washed it down with water--it wasn't too bad, just earthy.

Supposedly, it's best to drink some OJ or grapefruit juice before you take it.  Helps with the alkaloid absorption.  I did this, and it worked well for me.

There is a local head shop here (Louisville KY) that sells it, but the internet has higher-quality stuff.

I'm intrigued. How much of the powder did you take? I kind of want to try it, but it looks kinda expensive. Is it worth the price?

"Excellent, if not near perfect, condition." Fuck that.  I won't settle for anything less than "superb, just below like new."

EDIT: No longer BIN (was $495)

Yup.

I haven't actually bought this thing yet; I already have "Medium...," "Smokescreen" and "New Cross."  How is "Occupied Territory?"  Too lazy to download right now....
