Has political correctness extended itself to the point of not being able to call a crook a crook???
Who said anything about "political correctness?"
This "liberal" boogeyman of yours is pretty prolific, huh?
Just because some people are admitting that they steal or pull shady shit with records, somehow in your mind it becomes their politics and involves others of these same imagined politics by proxy ... rock-a-logic at it's most refined?
Who said anything about Liberals???
Yeah, you really don't have an answer. I understand.
Amazing.....you want to make this thread about "Rock-A-Logic"??
Are you saying that "political correctness" is a Liberal phenomenom??
check it, if theres somethin i want and it's 50 bucks, but i only have $30 on me, im gonna switch the tags so i can get that shit. and i dont understand how its stealing, you're still paying something for the merchandise. get like me!
again, here's a novel idea. If you don't have the money for it, just don't buy it!
The only time I think it might be OK to steal, is if you're trying to steal some food cuz you're poor as fuck, or some underwear or some shit. Stealing and switching price tags on material shit like Records,CD's,trendy clothes, cuz you "want" it, thats some petty shit right there. Get a life.
Amazing.....you want to make this thread about "Rock-A-Logic"??
Not really, but I sure as hell don't see how a few morally devoid people claiming that stealing is OK is somehow in your eyes equated with "political correctness."
I've never switched the prices like that but some deales seriously deserve to get [email]f@#ked.[/email] I would just do it ou of being pissed off at a dealer. Anyways most time I find the shit I'm looking for cheap or get discounts from the store owners/clerks. PS: if you try to swith the prices I would probably recommend checking the inside of the record jacket cuz they usually write the price with a pen ...

Don't know why I have to explain my posts to you....but if you look back you'll see my response was to someone who suggested that calling this "price tag switchin'" dude out was like throwing rocks from a glass house.
I have no problem calling him a crook and a low-life....do you??

That store employee is tasked with selling merchandise, and to a large degree they are responsible for it. Whether it's a large store or a mom and pop shop, theft threatens their job security whether you want to accept that or not.
I re-iterate, IT'S NOT YOURS. Whose it is is of ZERO importance. IT AIN'T YOURS.
C'mon, Mack, you are brighter than this, stop playing young, dumb, and full of larceny. I ain't even buying that you do this on the regular.

If a record dealer doesn"t let you check the condition of records or gives you shit for that, overpricing records, coming up with 15 different rules depending on the day of the week and his mood about listening to records (which is practically impossible anyways cuz the record player is stacked on some piles of shit next to the door).It's unbelievable the type of bullshit I've heard this guy tell customers to avoid them from listening to recordds.Those would happen to be some of the reasons... I'm guessing your a dealer ...

I'm a dealer.....and as a dealer I buy more records and deal with more record store owners than most people.....I have met an asshole here and there.....and once I figure out they are assholes I don't deal with them anymore....simple..... but the truth is I have been to very few stores and met very few dealers, who if they know you're a serious customer and are gonna spend $$$, will not treat you with respect and let you listen to or check the condition of any damn record he has.
Guys who dealers or store owners suspect might be switching price tags or slippin' 45's into LP covers probably don't get treated that way.

I TOTALLY get where you're coming from - fuck ALL the dealers. I hate it when they don't call you up or text you IMMEDIATELY when they have the records that they KNOW you want. I mean, why aren't THEY coming to YOUR door? You're the consumer, after all. They know that you actually have to get out of bed, travel all the way to their store (burning up the expensive gas you paid for) and walk in their door - effort you'll never see a return on - and on top of that, you haven't done any of your homework and you're a goddamn skinflint that won't pony up for a portable turntable of his own. They KNOW this. So why WOUDLN'T they let you listen to a record you don't know you want yet and probably won't pay for?
And why shouldn't the dealer throw in a blow job and pedicure, while he's at it? Would that kill him?
I like the irony of The_Mack's comments combined with his "monumental" set sale (which has nothing on the set sales that Aleit and Maru put up unobtrusively).
Stop whining about record dealers, there are plenty of bad ones but there's a way to get on their good side, it just takes some tact. And you know what? If you don't like a dealer, then go and spend your money elsewhere from someone who isn't a tool.
I shudder to think that the attitude of defines my generation.

For sure, I definitely agree with you on hat one. I know the type of cats you're referring to. That's actually the funnny thing cuz I know most record store clerks or owners arround my way and I do spend a reasonable amount of money on a reggular basis.As a matter of fact, they usually have pull out records from the back room for me to check or get me deals. But there's always that one record dealer that has a bad attitude, and at the end of the day I get to choose if I'm gonna buy from him. In my case I choose not to ,and also tell everyone to avoid his store.In the long run he"ll be closing his store in a couple of years cuz people just won't buy new releases from his store anymore since they can get them for less than half over the internet in the states and cuz he has no idea what he's doing. In fact it felt pretty good leaving his store wit a pile of beautifull 45's for a buck each that were easily worth 20 times that each( Sir joe quarterman , bobby bird, Irma franklin,etc...) and him not having a clue.

Bud: I have a lot to learn, and I listen to plenty of records at stores - ask Meaty - but I do it at places where I respect the dealer and my listening is actually welcome. There are (a few) stores with perfectly good records that I will never go to again because of a lack of respect that I receive from the owner or the way he does his business. There are also stores that I go to that do not encourage listening - so I don't listen to the records and sometimes buy blind. But you know what? That's their prerogative as the owner of the store. That's life. I don't complain to anyone else about it. I just move on to other stores and other collections. Dealers, like people, can be dicks. Deal with it.
I just took your posts as some sort of rationale for record theft. Considering that you posted this:

in a thread attempting to justify stealing records, you can see why some people would be pissed based on context alone. Some of my best friends make 100% of their living selling records, and I'll defend them and their profession.
Oh, and it's spelled B-Y-R-D. Good luck with your righteous anger.
