So no set time? Just whoever was looking at their inbox?View attachment 93864
Well I had the phone in my hand when the restock email arrived.
And I had the item in my shopping cart already waiting for the email.
Less than 15 seconds. And out of stock
Note: time stamp above is after several tries. Email arrived at 4pm local time. and it was still 4pm when it showed sold out.
Yep. There must have been like 5 anyway.So no set time? Just whoever was looking at their inbox?
wow, I mean there was no way to make people happy, but yeah.... bummer.Yep. There must have been like 5 anyway.
Good to hear this is one you're happy with. I've been watching these listings from Acoustic Sounds on discogs and wondering how many of these are returns. Kind of nice for them that they can ask well above retail (which is $34.98) for an imperfect item that should be available again, new, some time in the future (marked as backordered, but orders can be placed for it on their website). And yet I get it, and if it was a MoFi I wanted to own, I might just go for it. (I did jump on an Analogue Productions listing that may or may not have been a bit overpriced .)I have a copy of this and absolutely love it. Not perfect condition, but decent price nonetheless

I think this is where they put many if not all returns. I returned this Speakers Corner "That's the Way of the World" (Earth, Wind & Fire) due to seam split and warping, and they listed it for less than retail a week later -- without mentioning the warping. Perhaps they flattened it.I've been watching these listings from Acoustic Sounds on discogs and wondering how many of these are returns.

If it wasn't for the "audible scratch" I would have grabbed this.Good to hear this is one you're happy with.

When are they going to repress Even In the Quietest Moments? It’s easily my most listened to album by them.If it wasn't for the "audible scratch" I would have grabbed this.
Yeah, it was the "30 seconds" that made it seem like that would be hard to overlook. A couple of rotations, maybe...If it wasn't for the "audible scratch" I would have grabbed this.
I made a $20 offer. We shall see....I have a copy of this and absolutely love it. Not perfect condition, but decent price nonetheless

I just realized that my comments were more in reference to Supertramp's Breakfast in America that Acoustic Sounds also has listed on discogs, for $50. My bad! (though the general thoughts still hold). That $25 listing for Crime of the Century does seem reasonable. (Hope they accept your $20 offer @Sonicpharmacist.)Good to hear this is one you're happy with.

Ah no worries. I totally agree with you and I'm getting a bit tired of this type of shadiness coming from retailers like AS and MD. I'm not sure where AS is getting the older stock they are posting, but I've found some decent deals here and there with it.I just realized that my comments were more in reference to Supertramp's Breakfast in America that Acoustic Sounds also has listed on discogs, for $50.

Yeah I keep hearing how great the MoFi CotC is, and I need to get it eventually. Hide In Your Shell is probably my favorite track on the record, so 30 seconds of ticking would suck, but to get it for $20 I’d put up with it.Ah no worries.

@Sonicpharmacist FWIW, I have a MoFi copy of Crime of the Century in similar condition that I took a chance on and I don't regret it one bit. I hope they accept!
Great reissue. Need to spin that again.Here's a great one that I don't think I've seen mentioned on here before.
The 2018 and 2019 Run Out Groove reissues of Baby Huey "The Living Legend".
Mastered and cut by Chris Bellman and AAA from what I understand. Pressed at Record Industry. There's a RSD version with the instrumentals as extras and a later issue without. I have the 2019 issue without the extras and it sounds fantastic. I don't know what others who have this think, but I would recommend if you come across a copy.

I'm not sure if it is shadiness, or more a case of buyer beware and get informed before buying. Big box online retailers like AS and MD have warehouses full of deadstock from returns, and no outlets to shift them out and recoup on the wholesale cost. They have to go somewhere. I would think it fairly rare that they would simply trash a return.Ah no worries. I totally agree with you and I'm getting a bit tired of this type of shadiness coming from retailers like AS and MD.
