This one is also an instant grab for me!Looks like we are getting the Peanuts drop tomorrow after all:

i'm on that "internal waitlist" as well. will be interesting to see if it's actually a thing or if additional copies (which will definitely become available) just end up dumped into the store unannounced.And they clearly haven't limited it, still.
They never gave me the credit that I swapped for. I pointed that out and mentioned that I couldn't have used credit for the Alfredo, because I didn't have it and now it's sold out. They apologized and gave me my credit. I followed up pointing out the backdoor issue where, if non-members can order whatever number of copies they want, and members are limited, there's more incentive to not be a member. I don't know how many people grabbed 10 cppies, or even if someone grabbed 100, but if they actually do something about this and free up copies by canceling the overages, I'd like to be able to buy one.
Here's the response
"I'll go ahead and add you to our wait list for that title. I'm not sure if we are able to make more copies available but if we do, we'll let you know.
We are aware of that system 'hack' and currently have a team working on it. I believe someone was able to order 10 copies but no more than that. Even if we do decide to take action on this order, that would only free up 8 copies and that would only cover a small percentage of the very large waitlist we have going.
I appreciate you letting us know about this but I think it was simply just really popular and sold out quickly. Again, I'm very sorry for this, let me know if anything else comes up."
Only 1 person ordered 10? Nobody else, at all, ordered more than 2 copies?
They didn't even give me my credit swap and tried to cut my membership by a month. This is about a number of overlapping issues.
They have a team working on it.
Didn't they claim to have already fixed it.
Don't worry...only (at least) 1 person was able to order 5x the number of records they were supposed to. I could be wrong and I think even the site said "2 per ORDER", not 2 per account. Just wait til we see places like Vinceron selling 40+ copies of it when it ships.And they clearly haven't limited it, still.

That is, unless you want the ROTM.Don't worry...only (at least) 1 person was able to order 5x the number of records they were supposed to.

Uh huh--that's the issue for sure. People ordering multiple copies had nothing to do with it...Also lol at the "Even if we do decide to take action on this order". Why would they not cancel 8 of the 10 at least? Say sorry--it was meant to be 2 per customer max. This happened with Music Matters' last website fiasco on drop day and they cancelled any orders of more than 1. It's not difficult to do.
Store drops should be member exclusive for the first few days. Period. No loopholes, no non-members. Then open it up to non-members if it hasn't sold out at a slightly higher price. Otherwise you're right--it makes more sense NOT to be a member.
ROTMs seem to be restocked though and rarely sell out. Or I can dip in and out if I want a ROTM now.That is, unless you want the ROTM.
Mmmmmmm yeah, it’ll be interesting to see if the “internal waitlist” really is a thing or not! I really hope you end up getting a copy Hunna!i'm on that "internal waitlist" as well. will be interesting to see if it's actually a thing or if additional copies (which will definitely become available) just end up dumped into the store unannounced.
I agree with one added statement.Store drops should be member exclusive for the first few days. Period. No loopholes, no non-members. Then open it up to non-members if it hasn't sold out at a slightly higher price. Otherwise you're right--it makes more sense NOT to be a member.

Aren’t they all though?This one is also an instant grab for me!![]()
I didn't even bother emailing them as I'm already on 2 wait lists for albums I've complained that were sold through the "website error".
Most of them are, but not at all of them! There’s a lot of VMP exclusives, particularly new release ones, that aren’t instant grabs for me! Only around 30%-40% of new release VMP exclusives are instant grabs for me!Aren’t they all though?![]()

Yeah, more like only 30% of new release VMP exclusives are instant grabs for me!"Only 30%-40%"![]()
I dare you to pick the $300 option
For $300, Matt Fielder better be personally delivering my record and wait outside until I confirm whether it is damaged or warped.I dare you to pick the $300 option
