Record Store Day (Was Yesterday)

I went to a newer record shop that will probably only last a little bit, because it's so small, yet tries to cover everything, but kind of fails at that. The one good thing, however, was that on RSD, they stocked up. They didn't have everything, as that is pretty much impossible, but after standing behind a short line of lumberjacks, I did manage to grab a box set, 5 albums, 5 singles, and a stack of freebies. 
That being said, I had the choice of going to a few other shops in the hopes I would find a few things they didn't have. Then I thought about how I found ten things on my list that I wanted. That's a lot, so I went back home to crawl back into bed with my throng of warm ladies. Well, it was really just one or two. The way I look at it, RSD is about not being greedy. Check eBay right now and you'll see thousands of releases selling on there for ridiculous prices, primarily bought by guys in polos who have no clue what music is and spend their weekends golfing because they think it impresses their bosses. 
Reminds me of a high-principled guy I talked to online who told me he bought an album, realized he didn't want it that bad, then sold it on eBay for the same price he paid for it, because he didn't want to be greedy. The guy who bought it from him took the same exact picture and description and put it up for auction. Personally, I would have said, "Oh, sorry, the item was damaged." Or sent him the wrong one on purpose. 

Didn't get the new Flaming Lips.
