keep yo head up paycheck brighter days better ways i just lost a copy of bedazzled and some other rare lps sold on ebay this week due to my "neighbors" above me using a washing machine which they aren't supposed to own or use i am takeing off the rent minor flooding,2 crates wet out of cash$$$ and now possibly negative feedbacks on egay
Don't take it off the rent - that's normally a lease violation and you can get evicted. Negotiate first.
Some of the beautiful reggae LPs I bought last week were damaged.
That's a cotdamn shame. Thankfully reggae collectors are used to jacked up records so maybe it's not as bad as a collection of OG Blue Notes or something. Will there be a "water damage" sale. Holla I'd cop some joints, I like records in good condition but I'm not above getting at things that are in less than optimal condition. Sorry about your run of bad luck JP.
What are the pertinent issues to rescue the jackets and such.
thanks.
Can't you just fill it with Rice ???
Im kidding, Sorry to hear about the misfortune.
Your a virgo right? I think its something in the air this week for us. Ive had a case or two the past couple days that has been bad news left and right and all of the answers I didnt want to hear. Anyways, I hope things get worked out, cleaned up and located. Good luck.
Well it looks like the dehumidifier really helped. Of course there will be some stained covers, but most of them are still usable. Very glad I ended up stacking them per JimBeam's advice, one I left out of the stack looked like the St Louis arch when I came back after a couple hours.
I hated turning away business all day more than anything.
The ticket on my car was 1/3 of the potential towing cost, so there's a silver lining.
Sorry to hear that mang. At first, I thought you got the bottom of the floor flooded, but the backroom, that just sucks. Sounds like you've picked up the pieces nicely though. Perhaps a vinyl backroom strongbox?
Very sorry to hear this Jonny. Hope this turns out alright and the insurance company won't leave you hung out to dry... I'll see you in a couple of weeks. Good luck!
I can't believe dudes up in here are talking about a flood sale. Damn.
Thanks everyone for the kind wishes. The shop is back up as of yesterday and everything's back to normal. New arrivals are in the bins. The insurance papers are a bitch but I'll be alright. All in all, not too bad considering. Probably 50-75 records damaged; nothing's a total loss.

super glad to hear this
hopefully the biggest and last challenge your business will face
Hey Johnny, Sorry to hear about the damage to your store and records. I was just there about a few weeks ago and it seemed like (and hopefully still is) a great place to shop. Was the pipe burst correctly fixed and not just a quick fix patch-up job? I guess you were already on top of it, but general rule of thumb, if you are in the basement or ground floor you want to keep you records off of the ground. Not only to protect againt possible floods but also to protect from dampness.

Thanks man. Yeah obviously it is not safe nor ideal to have boxes on the floor but I've been taking in records so quickly that the shelves overflowed and there's nowhere else to put the shit!
I hear ya. One old trick I used to do when I had no choice but to but to keep records on the floor in a basement was to get pairs of old wood 2x4's and place the crates/boxes on top on them. I was a quick fix but It did work in keeping the records from getting wet. You be surprised, even a few inches off the ground can make a big difference.

Paychecks...hold on. Don't forget to breathe.
I hope that for at least one day SoulStrut dudes have been able to restrain themselves from hitting you with gripptastic PMs.
Please provide a list of water-damaged titles and discounts you will be offering I have mad rare.

Well, he did wait until it was a new day:
I sent my condolences, and offered my help.
You get lemons, make lemonade right?

I agree with sport casual, it sucks that all those water damaged records were in your trunk.

And the Warriors kicked ass last night.
Thanks everyone for your help and good wishes.

Sucks man. Hope you find more mind boggling raers to make up for these losses.
GOOD luck clearing and drying those up, hope you didnt loose some
peace.

If you have to keep stuff on the floor, putting them in the USPS mail bins should keep out any water too.
