will i ever regret this decision?

Probably not, because you can probably turn around and pick it up again for roughly the same amount should you ever need to own it again.

It's not the original LP with an intact banana sticker, is it?

― Nate Patrin, Saturday, 19 October 2002 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

You done fucked up.

― mt, Saturday, 19 October 2002 16:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes.

I think you won't really miss it.

i am surprised that someone would pay that much.

Maybe artiste means the actual band.

When corpse jokes go bad

you'll be down at the door of the place tomorrow morning waiting for it to open. unless it's closed on sunday. but it probably won't be. not that many stores close on sunday anymore, really. they close early, like at 6:00, but they're open during the day. the only thing that's ever closed all sunday is the library. all day. and, you know, what i've seen a lot of places doing is closing on monday. you'll have wanted to go there sunday night and it was closed and you get there monday morning and it says 'monday: closed.' and! then you read that it was open sunday night. so you have to wait until tuesday. but, i guess it's their right to open and close when they want and i didn't really need to go there that badly.

i like 'sunday morning' and 'femme fatale.'

as jel sez you won't miss it. but if you had sold white light/white heat then you would have. probably have withdrawl...your ma would have to call the ambulance.

if you had sold white light/white heat then you would have

i'd miss & nico a lot more than i'd miss 'the gift' off wl/wh.

blech.

You got the box set, right? :/

I like both VU+Nico and White Light/White Heat. Part of the joy of selling your collection, though, is trying to figure out what you'll regret and what you won't. The fact that you're already worried about probably means you'll come back for it SOME day, but not necessarily. I've sold and rebought the same album often, sometimes multiple times with the same album.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 20 October 2002 22:48 (twenty-three years ago)

So artiste, do you like the album?

― Keith McD (Keith McD), Sunday, 20 October 2002 23:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I've never regretted not owning it.

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 21 October 2002 10:11 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...

it's been nearly 2 years and i honestly haven't given it a moment's thought until now!!!

― artiste (artiste), Sunday, 22 August 2004 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

To date I've only sold and rebought VU&N & WL/WH once, I don't think I'll sell them again. I still need to rebuy the 3rd album, and I've never owned Loaded or any of the other live/rare collections.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Sunday, 22 August 2004 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

tom is funny.

― jack cole (jackcole), Sunday, 22 August 2004 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Since when did you change from merely being artiste to theartiste?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 22 August 2004 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

It's "The Artiste".

― Osmond G. Ristle (ogr), Sunday, 22 August 2004 23:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I have this sitting on my shelves, and I know it's been a few years since the last time I listened to it. Thinking about it now, I'm not particularly tempted to listen to it. But I wouldn't sell it, because I've enjoyed it in the past and I may wish to enjoy it again someday.

― o. nate (onate), Sunday, 22 August 2004 23:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Did you really need $5 that badly?
