FlipBack Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'm so torn about this. The money's not an issue but I'm not a collector and have no need for anything but the CD. However, I really want the tour diary. I'm wondering if I can break it up and sell the other stuff on ebay. Probably. At the very least you could get ~$20 for the vinyl, maybe around $20 for the popup book. $80-$20-$20 = $40. Take out the $10 you would have paid for the CD anyways, and you paid around $30 for the diary. I don't know how far you would get selling the stencils and stickers, but it's worth a shot.

I find it hard to believe the pop-up book would go for the same price as the vinyl. It's probably the most collectible element of the whole set. If you wanted to sell it on EBay in the future, it'll probably go for more than $20. But then again, the economy sucks, so it's a gamble...

But if they just take as many orders as are made through october, probably won't be worth as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I just pre-ordered a second pop-up one! I should stop. :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Really? :rolleyes: I'm planning on opening one and keeping one unopened for my collection. Either that or reselling it (I resold my In Rainbows one for like twice what I paid). I'm a Coldplay addict. What's weird is that I'm usually pretty stingy, but there's something about Chris/Jonny/Will/Gay that makes me want to give them my money. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I have got the money but I do not understand Paypal or how the credit cards work once I am 18 and I never brought imported things before :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotrobsessed101 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I know a lot of you guys who haven't been charged yet are wondering when you will be charged. I just thought I'd let you guys know that I got charged today for my pre-order. Under my order status on the Merch Direct website it says Preorder Paid. Just a heads up. Make sure you have enough cash in your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they just take as many orders as are made through october, probably won't be worth as much. Good point, but I meant that I doubt there will be as many of the pop-up books as there are copies of the vinyl, hence why it should be worth more in the long run...

It has begun! :dance: By the way, would a mod mind merging this with the 'Mylo Xyloto Limited Edition Release Date 12/11/11!' thread? Just easier to keep track of one!

anacaren08 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 For the ones that got charged, you guys ordered it on the 12th right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 For the ones that got charged, you guys ordered it on the 12th right? Yeah, I ordered one on the 12th. I ordered another one today and haven't been charged yet. And I paid the same way both times. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I ordered mine on the 15th, so I guess I have a few more days to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel_94 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is there a chance that there will still be copies when it is released or will they all be sold through pre-orders? This may seem like a silly question, i'm not sure how limited they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel_94 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 All being well, I should be able to pre order one soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yeah, I think they're all preorders, MAYBE with a small number of leftovers sold on their online store for a short period of time until they're sold. Limited edition these days often means "pre-order, we'll manufacture that amount and ship them to you, and then we'll never make them again."

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yeah, if you don't, you might be kicking yourself forever and scrounging eBay etc for people selling theirs for the rest of your life, like I do for another deluxe edition boxset from another favorite artist :bigcry: :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel_94 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yeah, you have inspired me to get a move on. What other artist were you referring to there, just out of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Julian Casablancas, Phrazes For The Young. When the album first came out, I was actually fairly disappointed, or at least put-off by the weirdness of it. Then my mom slapped sense into me and six months later I was crying over how good it was...after all the beautiful deluxe editions sold out.

I can't bare to think how disappointed i would be if I went to order the pop-up version and it said 'sold out'. Its making me sick just thinking about it!!!!!
