Easy for me to pass if the big box stores don't have what I want like the AP Tull Stand Up, or the 6 lp Tom Petty Fillmore box, or even a specific mastering ( the posts I've read in some of the big box threads rarely speak of mastering credits, just what color the vinyl is, or statements like I don't even like this band or album but the price is SO good I can't pass on it ! ). To each his own I know, but spending for the sake of spending is a concept I've never understood, no matter how well I was doing financially.
Noted, those deals obviously apply to the mainstream releases at the box and B&M retailers rather than the specialty items only available at AS and MD.
