i'll say it again

 

 

that seller didn't deserve that thing

too true

I'd sell it. Need the money and i'm not too sentimental for things like that. I felt like the broadcast was more of an experience and now that it's over, we move onto the full album.

he could use that money to live. all you can do with a record like that is fall in love with it like a fool

Watch warp press a large batch of these records after someone buys it for such a ridiculous price. I would laugh my ass off at the buyer.

It would've been cool for him to do a charity thing.

Solange Knowles is so going to snipe this auction at the last possible second...

... then sing some R&B over the 00:40 clip.

or they will just be given away freely to everyone that pre-ordered the record

then the guy who got the record store day vinyl wins some special prize like a 2 second interview with boc

oh fuck he's taking a dump on my lawn

Currently 4.6k... Wow

That's over the top! Kinda looks like the '08 housing bubble.

You don't think a bunch of rich kids working at banks are into boards of canada, right? Nah, if they were, they'd totally snipe it in the last seconds.

maybe its WARP driving the price up to make sure people will keep blogging about BOC for awhile

It didn't look like people we're not blogging? And it's way cheaper to put some fake leaks in the open to keep the chatter going.

These people bid way too high way too early. I could imagine bids like this in the final minutes. Not 5 days before the end of the auction. Of course I'm repeating the sentiments already stated, but WTF. This is nuts.

I hope these are mass produced and come with every pre-order

And I wish the seller would give that 5 grand to BOC

Yeah, these guys are shit at eBay.

It's partly for that reason that I doubt these are real bids at this point though.

Yea I don't mind paying the money to the artist but when it's some a-hole taking advantage of the inflated market it irks me.

(that's right I said irks!)

This is kind of why I'm stumped that Warp haven't done any Limited Edition of the new album at all.

BOC haven't released anything in eight years, surely some fancy 180 gm vinyl with bonus tracks would be a license to print money?

Way to squander a huge financial opportunity.

has anyone read the seller's blurb?

He basically states that he's just some college kid that got sent the item...So why would he have it? I'd understand if it was a journalist but this doesn't seem to be the case.

umm.

i would definitely sell it. are you crazy?

I came in this morning to find a mailer waiting for me in the post and as you will all now know by now it was the Boards Of Canada 12″.

You can hear what it had to reveal here

Much more on its whereabouts and what we will be doing for the album release tomorrow.

 

 

i said when these things appeared that avalanche would have one. looks like they're not selling it.

Man, if I had this, I would sell it in a flash and go on the most insane Discogs spending spree ever... i'm getting a boner imagining all the awesome shit you could exchange this for.

wouldn't surprise me if some bidders are leading him on out of spite with no intentions of buying it. throw £10,000 on it.

seems a bit out of the ordinary now at this stage.
