Actually, you're tripping and/or seem to have a severe lack of self awareness, right now. If your intention is not to come across like
@Hhabelt mentioned, you might want to consider adjusting.
Every single RSD, somebody starts a thread for people in need or looking. NEVER have I seen a single one of the people who started it continue to mention how they were the ones who started it, let alone how they believe that being the one who started that should entitle them to first dibs, which you literally did, regarding the Jazz Dispensery; or touting how their selfless gesture has helped so many. The only reason someone else didn't start one of these threads, this time, is because this one existed first.
Did you expect everyone in this thread to go lay their money out and go shopping for your list, because you were at work? I, personally, do DM people when I come across something, but a lot of folks are looking for things. If you are, admittedly, unavailable, it seems pointless to let high demand items sell out to people not on the forum, because you have dibs in some option to buy, but aren't around to do it.
There are a number of reasons people can't get releases, from them living in an area with little to no shops, the titles they want were sold out or never stocked near them, or they simply can't get out that day. That said, they still need to be available when someone finds what they are looking for, or they miss out.
In the past, I've picked things up for people who wound up not even needing them. Some folks have been incredibly generous to lay out money for others, but it should be appreciated and not expected.
Obviously, I have no dog in this fight, but
@Hhabelt isn't wrong; I just checked the history to confirm it, so I don't feel like leaving him out here to look like some negative figure with zero support. Also, typing "aloha" at the end of your posts doesn't reframe your sentiments or approach as generating positivity, anymore than typing "no offense" before a statement renders it inoffensive.
Good luck finding what you want, but passive aggression, martyrdom, victimizatiom, and guilt doesn't only fall dead, but is easy to spot for those of us who grew up with bitter Jewish matriarchs in our families. Plus.. just to remind everyone, these are just fucking records.
That said, I am consistently overwhelmed with the outpouring of positivity and efforts that this community does extend to eachother, for the most part, which is especially highlighted every RSD.
@Hhabelt I will be your friend
@Benhawaii you buggin'
