Too late?


No, hasn't really started yet.

In that case I want in, if there is anything left that isn't spoken for.

Gulasch Noir 04.07.2007 03:59 AM

How generous! I'd like to participate too! If you don't mind, because we barely know each other ... Paypal would be fine with me.

Toilet & Bowels 04.09.2007 01:54 PM

won't you get charged with paypal?

whatever method suits you best is fine with me though.

From being on this board for a while now, I know that there are people here who would appreciate the type of music I'm talking about, and I would really love my records to go to somebody who will get pleasure from them.

So what do I do?

I'm certainly not going to spend time listing them.

I had an idea that I could post bundles to people if they wanted, say a random selection of 10 and you pay postage. Or people could list wants, and I could post them out if I had them (but this could be too time consuming and complicated).

Would anybody actually be interested?


i would be interested but only in the good ones.

Cheeky beggar! You have to take the bad with the good.

Because of my honesty and generally friendly nature, I can't go back on this deal, especially considering the (mostly) lovely people involved.

But if you had a way of transporting them back to London, you'd be welcome to come and pick through my 12"/LPs in exchange for lunch.

Lots of very dodgy stuff, but a few gems left.

Toilet & Bowels 04.09.2007 07:14 PM

i would say that i'd come to wherever it is that you live (depending on where that is) but i fear that such a venture may cross the bounds of what is proper in regards to the internet

I'll be down for this too-- if you have any sebadoh that'd be cool-- but i'm not picky. A grab bag of the strange and the punky would be awesome.

What would the postage cost from within the states? You think?

HaydenAsche 04.09.2007 09:37 PM

Do you take checks or are you like McDonald's?

Yes, cheap and greasy.

I intended finding out postage costs today, but it'll have to wait until tomorrow now because I forgot to bring my dummy package to work.

Pookie 04.12.2007 07:44 AM

I found out the postage costs today. Brace yourselves:

For 10 7"s:
UK: £2
Europe: £4
US: £7.

Considering the costs, particularly to America (about $14!), if people still want in, I would be ok with posting lists for people to pick from - on a first come, first served basis.

That way you won't be paying $14 for what may turn out to be 10 records you hate.

Let me know what you think.

Is there any C86-type stuff in there? Can I have a copy of the list please?

I'll get a list together. I might do it in chunks maybe, a few records at a time.

Off the top of my head, there's some C86-type stuff: Shop Assistants, Mighty Lemon Drops, Bodines, Bogshed, Soup Dragons, Miaow, Half Man Half Biscuit, Big Flame, possibly Primal Scream.

And I've taken the paypal charge into account.

Danny Himself 04.12.2007 08:23 AM

Could I just post you the money?

Are you sure you want to do this, though? This is a big part of your youth you're offering to give away.

This is the missus's fault isn't it? Did she give you an ultimatum? Tell her you won't be bullied this way! (Or is she clearing out something that's dear to her too?)
