Okay time for a little story. So first of all i ended up getting messages from a few people on here offering to help, so a big thanks to everyone who messaged me! So Sorry State Records in NC had posted on their instagram account that they just got in a Minor Threat s/t 1st press with red cover (which has been one of my top wants since i traded away my first copy). So I was keen to get this copy, then in their comments they said they were selling it for $600!!!! So i figured it would be sold instantly. I messaged them on IG and offered a bit more than the asking price, after realising that they will be getting quite a lot of messages I looked up the store details (looking for an email or something). I found their phone number instead and called the store. I got onto the store (after figuring out how to call internationally haha) and told the dude I was calling from Australia and saw the IG post about the Minor Threat 7", he said since they just got it in they want to try and sell it locally first. I offered $900 for the record, but he said to try again in a little while and if they can't sell it then we may be able to work something out. I knew if I had to wait that I would miss out on the record, so that when I posted the above message on here. jeff was one of the people that messaged me, he said that he had his sister that lived in NC and she might be able to help out. I explained the situation and said if he can get the record I would also pay $100 for his troubles. I offered to send the money for the record, but Jeff declined saying they would front the money if the record was still there and if they could get the record then I could send the money. (by this point the record store had already closed for the day). Jeff organised for his sister to go to the record store the next day. Turns out they got the store to hold the record for them and Jeff's sister was able to buy the record for me. So I just thought I would post this cool store of how I managed to score a Minor Threat first press for $700 and just to point out how cool it is that people on this board you have never met or even traded with will go out of their way to help you out. Again big thanks to the guys that messaged me and Jeff and his sister, you all rock! |

Must post pics when you receive it! Here it is. I was in a rush to get work after picking it up from the post office, so didn't have time to take a good pic. It's in really good condition, except the insert is pretty beat. Still glued as well. Again huge thanks jeff!   |

Great story with a great outcome. It's things like this that stay with you, and ultimately make for a cool story.
The other funny thing is that I would have had no idea that $600 for this was a 'bargain' price.

That's a really beautiful copy. I know you said the insert is beat but it looks pristine for its age to me. I've only ever seen much worse.

runexjustanotherday haha would have been good, oh well. At least now I'll have a more interesting story if anyone asks me about tracking down records in the future. lifelongtony yeah the insert isn't too bad and in not too concerned with it. It does have an extra fold and is a little worn etc, but not rips so I'm happy.
