Someone get the popcorn, this is going to be fun.
I'm staying out of it on Reddit only because nothing I would say would add value but oh boy, is this going to be a doozy

What’s the story here? Someone getting backdoor VMP releases to flip? I had a look on their discogs and some of their prices aren’t too bad tbh.

It's not that the prices are "bad" it's that a commercial enterprise is buying up tons of copies to resell taking those out of circulation for the swap or member pool.

The real interesting thing is members of the VMP Reddit were given temp band for talking about this and warned not to bring it up again, from a supposedly independent of VMP community. Really sounds like some mud in the water


Edit: when I say prices aren't "bad" they really are...because you might have been able to get a $23 swap if he didn't get 75 of them in swaps to sell for $36
 
ignoring the giant elephant that reminds me too much of 6ix9ine in the room


should i use my credits to get FTBC or wait and see if there is an exclusive in the future i might want more, or i might just get that anjimile album since that sounds like its gonna be pretty decent
 
i still think vinceron is just scalping and flipping and VMP doesn't care because they still make money off someone buying for scalp as they do for a standard customer...

i feel the fact they also steal from urban outfitters is my proof...

though i do love that analog planet writer malachi lui is on our side now

Yikes. I'm just catching up on the recent drama.

Pretty fucked up move by the mods to do that. Thank God this place exists - the VMP sub is NOT a suitable replacement for the old forums. Which one of them thought censorship was the way to go? Same way they censored my damn pizza satire post and inspired Very Meaty Pizza. What are they thinking? Are they trying to protect their relationship with Storf/Pauly?

And fuck VMP for allowing this. Either they're artificially reducing stock and allowing markup resellers to play their shitty game, or Vinceron has tons of duplicate accounts and they are doing nothing to combat it.

Be interesting to have the mods disclose whether they receive any sort of reward/special treatment from VMP for their moderation of what is supposed to be an independent forum.

I just made sure we had him banned on r/vinylcollectors to preempt him coming through to troll.

Glad this is finally getting some attention and hopefully VMP does something. Vinceron has been around a long time and every time VMP was confronted about it they either dodged or ignored it. Time for them to acknowledge it, and if it isn't intentional on their end - it's time to fix the problem.

Maybe the real Vinceron was the friends we made along the way
