Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

[KenKaniff]

If you're excited for that fucking $79 record opener than I know I genuinely wouldn't like you as a person if I met you.

They're selling it as "the first of it's kind." Sometimes there's a reason something hasn't already been made.

They created a knife.
Then branded it as a record opener.

It's the first of it's kind because nobody ever was stupid enough to rebrand a knife for one SUPER specific purpose.

And nowhere is the description does it say why this knife is better for opening records than my $10 Craftsman Utility knife.

"can I use this to open my Amazon packages?"

Didn't you read! It's for Lost Sound Found purposes only! It can open nothing else!

Look. Let's be perfectly fucking honest here.

It's a coke knife.

Putting out this tool for $79 isn't being an advocate for the vinyl community, it's for exploiting it.

Not nearly big enough for the amount of coke that was going on when brainstorming this gem of an idea.

Again.

12on12.

The exploitation of vinyl newbies with way too much disposable income has been going on for awhile.

 

[KenKaniff]

This "tool" is going to end up in swaps when sales are zero.

 

[bdrummond]

A whole wide world of branded accessories they could've put out there, and this is where they landed. It's something so unbelievable that only VMP could've ever brought it to fruition.

For an even looooonger blade, I’d pay $160 for a machete that’s a VMP/Danny Trejo partnership.

Naw, Danny has standards and they are much higher than VMP

Anyone with an $80 record weight cannot make fun of that knife.

I prefer the cd/dvd opener. They went with the "As(s) seen on tv route"

 

[moohoohahaha]

A coworker taught me this trick and to this day I don't know if my jeans have some kind of vaseline coating or what but it never seems to work.
