So, things aren't going so well at my job, I'm a Service Sales Representative for a telephone company. Won't say who but it isn't At&t or Verizon.
I'm close to the point to where they are going to fire me and I think it's personal related so, I am going to be out of a job either by them firing me or me beating them to it and just quitting.
I have a car that I bought two years ago which is turning out to be one of the biggest mistakes of my life because it's kept me at a job I hate for the past two years. I have about 10,000 left on it.
So, it's come down to where I have decided to sell my beloved collection that I have worked so, so hard to get, of all my Melvins stuff. I really hate to part with it because I've had it for so long and it's just so damn cool to be able to say that you have an item that say only 200 other people in the world have. I'm sure there are other people out there that would like a chance to have them other than me though.
If anyone has any idea of about what the items usually run or what you think I could get them for let me know. And if you wanna throw out a price feel free but, chances are I probably won't go for it because I wanna try and just ebay them.
The Boxset #47 I think
The Vinyl Trilogy
Leech
Tora! Tora! Tora!
the singles vols. 1 - 12 the 7 inches
A Senile Animal Boxset
The End LP
various singles on 7 inch. including the Barbaral2
Live at Slim's 8 track.
I also have some rare Boris and Residents stuff if anyone would be interested or, know what it'd run but, I wanna get an idea of what kind of money it would draw in. If it isn't enough it might not be worth it cause it'll make such a small dent.
DVDs are being sold too. I have a good number of Criterion Collections and some rare VHS only stuff. I might just ebay all those though.
Peace.
how much do you want for vinyl trilogy? what condition is it in?
pm me.
PM me for your asking price on the slim's 8 track Jaron. (I probly don't have it but I'm still curious, and I don't want to be a dead-beat on the offer Anaconda made me)
and that is a REAL serious bummer man, sorry to hear!
this is a BIG opportunity for a lucky bunch of you though.
Ebay is the way to go.
The Boxset #47 I think - $400
The Vinyl Trilogy - $140
Leech - $100
Tora! Tora! Tora! - $100
the singles vols. 1 - 12 the 7 inches $250
A Senile Animal Boxset - $120
The End LP - $60
various singles on 7 inch. including the Barbaral2 - with book? black or blue?
Live at Slim's 8 track. - at least $150
I might PM you at the end of this month and see what you have left and if you are still willing to sell, i have no cash until payday you see so it's not worth making deals if you can get a good price elsewhere. I would also be interested to hear what Residents stuff you have to sell. I know it's no consolation but if was to buy anything it would go to a home where it would be loved and treated well :)

This is helpful thanks. I actually remember paying quite a bit of money for Leech. Maybe close to 300 so, it'll be interesting to see what comes of that.
There's another thread where you can unload that boxset. You might even be able get some anal out of the deal.
hey that thread got cancelled,maybe the husband wasn't happy with her talking about anal with us

And we all know what happens when he isn't happy.

Jaron, sell your car. Seems like a no-brainer.

I deleted it because it didn't seem like I was going to get any help. Although apparently if I started to offer anal in exchange I'd get somewhere.
Kidding aside, if anyone knows of anyone/any place selling the box set for ~$300, please let me know. The ones on ebay are going way over my budget.
Sadly I think the only people who bought multiples are the ebay vultures. Buzzo has pretty much assured more will be available though, hasn't he?
Allegedly some are to be sold online at some point. Have you made Jaron an offer?
That's what I keep hearing. I'm concerned that I'll get dicked over on the second leg of the tour though, since they were sold out before both of the shows I had friends at. Supposedly they used to play at a venue that is literally right up the road from me on most of their tours, but it didn't happen this time. The closest show was about 5 hours away.
Yep, I made Jaron an offer...he's offline though! IMPATIENCE! ARGHHH!!
CYA.

Too bad. I was actually considering parting with mine. :lol:

In time, the boxset won't be as difficult to acquire, I would just be patient.

MELVINS/MACKE limited stuff only goes up :toke:
I'm betting Chomas is right.
Sheesh, people havent been this excited about compact discs since they were released in the 80's.

How come you think this? It's pretty limited and value only goes up on Melvins items that are out of print.

Because of the high initial price, and the fact that there's 100 left to go. You'll see the highest prices initially, and then the price will taper down.. much like the Melvins vs. Minneapolis set did.
This reminds me, I really need to try and find out how much to sell Pissing in Action for. That's Nirvana though, another beast entirely.

We will see but I'm betting Chomas is wrong. :P
Has anyone heard back frmo Jaron on any of this stuff? I know he hasn't been online but I didn't know if he had gotten back to people via email, etc. Husband's current solution to the CD collection dilemma: "Oh man, it looks like we're going to have to start prostituting you out. This is terrible!"

Sounds like quite a catch.
He's pretty weird.
Didnt 20 or so already get sold through AmRep?
Quote from: Potemkin on July 09, 2010, 02:51:21 PM

Good question. Is it 20 out of the 100, or out of the remaining 122?
Less whatever number the band/friends/family got. I'm thinking there aren't actually 100 left.
I think family/friends could care less about the box set. In the Amoeba records interview, buzz was talking about the live at slims 8 track. He said there were less than 100, he MIGHT have one, doesn't know. And if he did have it, he'd be ebaying it. LOL.
Meg told me he only brought 100 ON TOUR. So im guessing 122 are at his house, OR could possibly still being made. There's no way HE gave 122 to friends. I don't even think buzz has 122 friends, no offense. BURNED TOO MANY BRIDGES. LOL. Just kidding, he has more friends than most people im guessing. But my wallet vs. my friends, I DONT Know....some might not make the cut.

heres another pecker trying to sell melvins stuff but ignores you when you ask a question about something.
smart purchase on that leech single. 300 bucks? were you high?
oh wich brings me to a suggestion.
can we make a stickied "good ones" list of reliable members who are trustworthy to buy off?
If you mean Jaron, I don't think he's been around in a few days
your hubby got him, bend over!
I got a copy of the box set--my butthole is safe!
HOW!
She got it from ebay.
POtemkin your inbox is full.
Should be fixed
non consensual anal rocks, ass rape :lol:... but seriously, glad your ordeal is finito
It's not rape if you like it!
as a recourse to me that means 'not like'
My husband knows it's coming, he spent half his shift at work telling his friends about it. I'm pretty sure they're all annoyed with me by proxy because he won't shut up.
sounds like you're the Warden again... for the near future at least
Everyone gets this pre-conceived idea of what he's like. It's funny, because he actually is really quiet and goofy and his two favorite things in life are Star Wars and my chihuahua. He spent most of his time in prison asleep so nobody would bug him

That's a euphemism I'd not heard until now.

Oh for god's sake. I'm going to sleep now, I'm serious this time! Night all.
And I'm off to work. Enjoy your lie-ins.
Nothing has developed yet. I still have my job but, it's still hanging on by a thread.
They have me under 'surveillance' you could call it. That means they listen to all my calls for 30 days and if I slip up once. Good-bye. It's a lot of pressure when you're trying to meet sale quotas, keep a quality performance score, deal with an angry customer, and hit all the points you're suppose to hit when you work in customer service like this. There is no remorse from anyone in this business.
If I fall through and lose it, I will post all these items on eBay, probably start a small eBay store and I'll post the link here so you all can have your pickings. Thanks for the offers everyone, I got a lot of them and I have a good idea what my starting bids can be put down for. That boxset seems to be really popular. My only concern right now is the singles. If I listed them separately I could possibly get more out of them but, together maybe only half of what I paid for them separately.
So, thanks all for the concern. I might have at most two jobs lined up if this one gives out that are much better than the one I have now. We'll see what time tells though.
Jaron- Glad to hear you still have your job...at least for now. Also sounds like you might just want to get the F outta there and get a better one.
