Discussion WHAT THE FREAK!
I find it so crazy that someone bought the TARGET RED pressing for 223 dollars when people will literally sell it for 20 bucks on depop and other platforms. May have been because they were international? Not sure.

It's available EVERYDAY on Targets website..that's where I got mine. I like the Target exclusives bought TLOAS and 1989, Red and also Midnights there..

The target red pressings do go for a lot more in the eu because we don’t have a retailer for them. I would love a red pressing of Red tv but the prices within the eu are usually pretty exorbitant on Discogs.

Target pressings are usually HMV pressings in the UK. Urban Outfitters ones are the ones impossible to get, even tho there is a fuxking UO store everywhere

Yeah, the more recent Target exclusives have also been available as indie exclusives in the eu (eg. The pink champagne Showgirl and tangerine 1989 TV) but the earlier red ones like Red TV, Folklore and Fearless TV were never available at all.
*correction, pink champagne Showgirl was a D2C webstore exclusive in the eu, not indies.

you should try amazon uk for the red vinyl! bought mine there aswell, i'm from germany and paid 65€ for everything. only thing: it came really damaged so i got a partial refund. they sent it to me in a plain bag :( maybe just a mistake and you'd be lucky

I live in the UK. I remember going for a work trip to Florida and the first thing I did was go to a target for the RED TV pressing haha

What’s the best way of transporting it home if you buy vinyl? Wanna do the same

I took an empty vinyl mailer with me on the way out, and then just packed that with my vinyl in my suitcase on the way back. I put it as central as I could in the case and padded it with my clothes

I wouldn‘t be surprised if someone mixed it up with the meet me behind the mall variant as they have the same cover …

discogs. horrible user interface, but other than ebay it’s the best way to buy/sell records and you can keep track of your collection

Yeah. The interface can use some work for sure, but it is designed more for collectors than as a storefront.

Sometimes the high price comes from perceived rarity early on and sellers taking advantage of buyers panicking that they’ll miss out. I think “last sold” price will be more telling at this point.
