I always keep a list of records that are around $20-$25 to add for orders at Plaidroom/Acoustic Sounds/Music Direct since they all have free shipping on $50+. It's a great and also a terrible idea lol.

Guilty. As. Charged. This is the one time I forgot to do it and I just started panic adding stuff. Happy with it but yeah at this point I'm just keeping a cart of my wants.

I wish Plaidroom had a wishlist/save for later option. But I pretty much use my Acoustic Sounds wantlist as a future shopping list for those add-ons to get to free shipping. There are tons of AAA or really good pressings around the $20-25 mark that I'm not desperate to own, but want to eventually add so it makes it easy to get that shipping threshold. Rhino, Craft, Sundazed, etc. are all on that list.

You can be angry at your dad or whatever it is that Tool fans are mad at for a cool hundy (click thru for $100.30 price) for the 5xLP if that’s your jam.

Plaidroom got me. Had a few things from them already on my wish list, the sale pushed me over the edge.

Per the @Plaid Room / Colemine email, it seems they need to make room in their warehouse. So let’s all just look at it as doing a fellow N&G member a favor. Makes it hurt less.

Damn, a lot of people paid full fare for that 5-LP Tool set. Tool added a little insult to injury today by releasing a 3-LP version of the album For $65: https://store.toolband.com/product/TLLP002/fear-inoculum-black-vinyl-180g-3lp

From what I’ve seen from Tool and their marketing strategy around this release, they enjoy ripping money from their fans’ pockets. Remember when they were selling signed editions at their show for like $800 or something ridiculous?

I mean, no one HAD to pay $180 for that dumb 5-LP box.

Ha! Thank you - we appreciate it. Our warehouse space went from like 15,000 records in November so something like 95,000 records right now including all the Colemine stock. It's absolutely bursting and we have pallets of incoming stock we don't have room for.
A new warehouse is on the horizon but we won't be getting it for about a year. So for now, this is the next best thing haha!
For those still looking or trying to make up to a shipping point, things I dig or things that seem like good deals based on other pricing/availability - spitballing prices by mental mathing 15%. I'm not gonna pretend to know Jazz well enough to quote anything but I know a lot of people here do and Plaid Room seems to be stocking from good stuff from what I've seen peeps here speaking of. Obviously not comprehensive at all and I didn't even look through their pop stuff...
Fleetwood Mac 45 RPM - available cheaper in the damaged listing too ($30-$40)
Jeff Beck Truth MOFI (Damaged) (A tick above $60)
Buffalo Nichols S/T - Blue - below $15
Jason Isbell - Southeastern - around $16
Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit - Georgia Blue - around $21 (damaged is cheaper)
Better Days Ahead and Soul Slabs Vol. 2 are a bit below market plus...Colemine/Plaid Room and all, people here love the Soul Slabs
Dessa and the Minnesota Orchestra - it's getting a bit sparse at cheaper prices, one copy left here, great album - $19 or so
Life Aquatic OST - another one a lot of people were excited about and undercuts Discogs a bit - $26
Another Day, Another Time: Inside Llewyn Davis Concert (Damaged) - $26 or so for this is super good
David Bowie - Low (Orange, Damaged) - Another hype beast here, and the discount puts it below $13

Fair enough, but the real gouge here is that Tool didn’t announce both sets at once. Given the different artwork and overall package of the 3-LP set, Tool must have known the 3-LP was in the pipeline when they announced the 5-LP set. As @Colonel4Bin said, it’s pretty obvious Tool is happy to milk their fans for all their/they’re worth (and more). I’m a Tool fan and didn’t want the 5-LP even @ Amazon’s $100 price today, but I’d consider the 3-LP set at a normal price.

If it’s out at $65 today I assume you’ll be able to grab it around $45 in a couple months.
