That's madness. But it's not even just this hobby. I once had a guy pay me $60 to let him in the back door of a bar I used to work at, rather than walk around the building (in the snow) and pay the $4 cover at the front door!

This is one of these situations where I’m relieved that I didn’t find out about something until after it had sold out.
The $100 thing is nuts to me, it's a blind subscription where it feels really likely that you'll be able to buy the item on re-sale for less than $100 unless Rough Trade goes for a huge bang on the first few, especially given the mystery nature is going to cause misses for some folks. When you add in that of the three "value adds", one of them is a Q&A you can't sell...
Anyway, do we want to keep anything we end up getting in the mail behind spoiler tags or is it gonna be an open discussion? I'd like to be surprised if possible but I can also avoid the thread if I gotta until it comes in after a shipping notice.

Good question and one I literally was thinking of this morning. I'd like to be surprised by opening the box too. Especially if it's not one I want, the preemptive disappointment will suck, lol. But I can avoid the thread till it shows up too if need be.

Yea parting with $100 when you don’t know what it is seems crazy. I ended up subscribing but the price was the most I’d probably pay for something like this without having any idea what album they are doing. Hoping they start it off with a bang!
I’ll avoid posting specifics here but maybe if people do, they can do a spoiler tag? When’s the first one shipping again?
Early July is all we know about the first drop.
Does that mean we get it in early July, or that they ship it in early July? My guess is we will probably get it July 7th through July 15th ish in the mail.

So I think the general agreement is to throw anything in spoiler tags, at least initially, if we want to discuss?
Anyway, I just got an update via the Ship app on the order saying it has shipped, the tracking number is bonkers so it could be a false alarm or just something different than I'm used to, or just an internal update. Anyone else get anything notification wise?

Was just going to say I haven't seen anything yet but that's a promising sign mine should be shipped soon.
Then they blew up my inbox.

You can find the tracking info if you log onto the albumcircle website and click on your order. But I think they all just say label created still.
Only the first email I got with the order number I should have blotted out had a tracking number. It's coming by USPS so if you don't ever get a tracking number at least it should show up on informed delivery.

Got my 3 email notifications! I’m with @KenKaniff — pro spoiler tag but eventually would like to discuss it after a lot of us receive it…
According to tracking, it looks like mine will be here on Monday.
That is as long as Elsa doesn't have something else to say.

So let me get the scoop here.
It's a rough trade exclusive rather than a Able Circle Exclusive. Which has people complaining that it's leftovers that they couldn't sell marked up with a 30% premium.
And you get an autographed paper bag over the record? They state that this was the artists choice.
