Transcendental Youth?

Ok let's think about this guys. We know the ways of John. Would he ever just give away a surprise by tweeting about it. The surprise extra thing has to be something other than the 7".

I don't think he tweeted about the 7", I took that from the main page. I'm pretty sure he posted about the Cassette for the last preorder on the main page too.

He indeed tweeted. But you are right. Ugh i'm just trying to hope really hard that it'll actually be a surprise and not something i know. Not that i'm complaining at all about the 7"

well the tracklist to the 7" is still a suprise right?

would probably be easier to get ZM or Sweden on vinyl for you if you didn't do that. but we all have our own strategies.[/quote]

...i already have them, but 75 is about what i spent for them...raised by selling other stuff...
so that strategy worked well. there are not that many options especially when you are not from
the US...

I see both of your points, I tend to side with WC just because I know how the forum members like to help each other out. I honestly would not feel comfortable helping someone out if it seemed on the surface that they were just tring to turn a profit on it. That being said, I'm also from the US where things are easier for me to get.

you already have ZM and Sweden, and paid 75 bucks for both? you just said the reason you were selling the cassette was to buy ZM and Sweden.

anyways, you don't care what i think and that's ok with me. i'm off to listen to history of the church.

edited to add: p.s. this particular issue irks me because i once gave a purple LotWtC to someone on these forums, when it was still a high commodity, and soon saw it on ebay for an inflated price (I knew because of the #). Very annoying, so sorry if i am crusty about flippers who claim to be fans.

...a bit less + postage each i think...i said: to buy stuff like ZM and Sweden...
i wouldn't even call it a strategy...just have to try different sources sometimes for rareties
sometimes none of them worked out once or twice i ended up with 2 copies. so at least i have
one copy for swap. so i think it isn not that much about profiting but getting those items that
i want at all...but that's all boring collectors crap.

I don't want to interfere here (and I'm pretty against flipping) but romme helped me out big time in the past getting a tMG item I was looking for and did so without asking for anything in return...so I back him as a fan who isn't trying to make a buck off of tMG fans.

But I'm going golfing on Wednesday! eye popping smiley

Hopefully whatever this is won't be super limited.

You're not alone. Do we know what time zone's midnight (assuming it's getting put up at midnight) it'll be up?

I was hoping central, but no. eastern made sense because merge is based in NC. They might hit the red button when they come in tomorrow morning, a part of me is afraid they'll do it at like 4 AM in order to try to avoid a server crash. (I do not know how many of us there are)

seems to be up on itunes, not that that means anything about when merge will get around to it. We do know that tomorrow's free song will apparently be "cry for judas", though, and presumably if you're ready to drop a dollar you'll get to go ahead and hear it now.

I wish I knew how limited the bonus will be... I'd rather not stay up and go to work tired if it'll still be available after hours/days.

hey if we're all up or drifting in and out would people be up for an IRC or other-type chat room so we can keep a live status? and then when the time comes we can all freak out and spend money and then go to bed.

Nope, I still figure it'll be sometime soon after the start of Eastern business hours (so say in about an hour or so)


ETA: Besides, one could possibly miss the bonus, but not the pre-order, it'd defeat the whole purpose of HAVING a pre-order which tells them how much of a run they need to make off the bat


We are the ones who don't slow down at all...

Yeah, I'm going to assume it'll be before 9:30EST because that's when they tweeted on Monday that it will be postponed.

Also staring at this Merge website it's become increasingly funny to me that Wurster is basically the drummer for every band.
