Just a bad time for me to buy it and the reality that i may not spin the records often enough to justify it. I haven't seen any mention of retail, so I'm guessing this is mondo only? Would be nice to know i could possibly pick it up in a month (maybe with discount and free shipping).
Guess I'll have to spend the next few hours weighing possible regret of purchase vs the regret of not getting it when it sells out and is listed on ebay for $1000 immediately.
Does the old trick to see the remaiining inventory still work? not that I remember it. And no, not the add 10000 to the cart method!
Not trying to twist your arm, but how many times do you spin most of your records? I'll probably spin each one once on arrival. And then some of the 8 records a couple of times during the 12 months that follow. I only have so much time to spin records.
And is around $35 per NOES part worth it for you? It is not cheap. There is also shipping (and tax?) on top of that. But it might hold is value (or increase a little) if well cared for.
And it contains all music for NOES. 7 parts of NOES. In one box.
I am guessing that at one point there are going to be retail versions of each record separate. Or even colored individual vinyl versions. Or a Mondocon exclusive.
Also if there are people that are going to pay $400 or more from e-bay a week after release, than they are idiots. With 2000 expensive boxes like these prices have to settle down at one point. Just give it time.
I do think you are not going to get all of these score cheaper at one point. Unless you simply want the first 4 parts. You can get those originals together for $200-$250 with patience.
In the end it is another 7 albums you are buying. And if you normally only buy 1 or 2 each month, it is a big expense. But did I mention it is the NOES box we're talking about. Like in Nightmare On Elm Street...
