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

Mod at /r/VinylMePlease has now started a survey to decide if we can still talk about Vinceron, claiming that it's just giving him free advertising.

He started the survey at 1am, and will close it at 6am.

Like, wut?! Defying all logic and otherwise obvious cries from the community, the poll results are showing "Don't talk about him" by a large margin.

This is so fucky.

What do you think? I think it's perfectly fine to talk about Vinceron, but the moderator at Reddit is pretty much saying "the more we talk about Vinceron, the more his dodgy business will get promoted". So...I dunno what to think to be honest! 🤷‍♂️

I think it's good people are emailing VMP about Vinceron, even though they might not care about Vinceron bulk-selling their products. At least VMP know that a lot of people are unhappy about Vinceron! 💡

I just want VMP to talk about Vinceron and say what they think! How does he get that many records in his hands?....and are VMP OK with him selling their records at expensive prices! 🤔

He’s scum but he’s not breaking any laws, neither is VMP if they are supplying him. It’s not like VMP being shady is news, it astonishes me that we’re talking about this like it’s news. VMP has NO integrity, it’s always been that way.
 
It's the same mod that handed out the bans, and it seems somewhat disingenuous to conduct a poll in the dead of night to determine if we can keep talking about the guy everyone is currently talking about.

Also, he's concerned because Vinceron just tweeted out that Reddit is giving him lots of business right now. 1) He's a habitual liar. 2) His bragging makes me think the opposite is true.

I think he's shook. Hence the defensive tweets, and the mod is either buying it hook line & sinker, or he's trying to quell the debate.

Why? What are your thoughts on VMP’s integrity? I’d love to know since I know you’ve been around a while and seen them demonstrate several different acts of assorted nefarious behavior.

I'm speechless because I kind of agree and think VMP do have little integrity, even though I do love them very much!

I think VMP are a caring, friendly and fun company that release quality products, but are a dishonest company too in terms of communication and other things they sometimes sweep under the rug. They are honest and transparent in terms of the details of their exclusives (pressing location, mastering details etc), but have been dishonest in other areas such as customer waiting times and the issues that occurred in the Blue Note Anthology Boxset.

I think overall, VMP's integrity is below average. I don't see them as an honest company and it's frustrating because if VMP were more honest with their mistakes/other issues, us as customers would be more understanding and it would make life for them much easier!

PS - I also think a lot of other big companies have very little integrity as well, from Pfizer to Apple to McDonalds!
 
It seems this Vinceron thing has gone out of hands. It's very bad promotion for VMP. The fact they want to ban and want to shut down people from talking about this on Reddit is very questionable and the complete wrong way to handle it in my opinion. VMP should put out a statement about this to reduce harm for them.

Am I surprised about this? Not at all. The fact they shut down the old forum because people have been talking about VMP's mistakes did show their true colors. It's unforgotten. Yes, I still buy records from them as their products are great and many records are a good deal for me as an International, but I certainly don't think they have much integrity.

Yes, the VMP forum being shut down was something that was heart-breaking, and further shows the little integrity VMP have overall, even though I think their products are great!

Yes, especially as the same way as the N&G Forum now it wasn't only about VMP, but music in general and also including topics like mental health threads etc, so they did show a true lack of caring and understanding for their members back then. If this community wouldn't have been that strong and great to set up a new forum within few days, this community would have been lost forever. It shows how most of their interests are just driven by money. Of course, this is true for most big companies, but that doesn't make them better, just because others are bad too.

I just hope VMP addresses this Vinceron situation like they addressed the situation after the murder of George Floyd. They should announce a statement on this.
 
the reddit is not owned by VMP (in fact only 1 person from the company is a mod)... the temp ban for a couple of people was just because it was getting too intense and they dont want to feed an obvious troll that probably should just be reported as a scam artist. in fact its clear that in the 6ix9ine or lil darkie style fashion they are getting more and more popular because of the attention and allegations of collaboration (which i always thought felt too much like a conspiracy theory) and is practically profiting on hatred...

also as i have stated before VMP isn't the only place he has scalped, he has scalped for a bunch of people selling cassettes. clearly is not in cahoots with urban outfitters even though he is selling the fame monster exclusive on there, and have multiple plushies i am sure as taken from fangamer, and indie game boxed releases stolen directly from limited run games

Id be surprised if VMP had even heard of this Vinceron. I don’t useReddit and have only read a few posts about him here. I get from recent posts this Vinceron is flipping records.
He just has a load of accounts and uses all the add ons. to scalp more records. Can’t be that hard the grab 30 BVSC etc etc using multiple accounts. Just takes an hour or so to manage all the accounts.
Unless VMP get asystem which limits how many records go to one address, this will never stop. Which they will never do !

I was reading about him, there is an article about him buying up tons of political merch during the 2016 election and flipping it on Amazon. The guy is an ex professional poker player. I'm thinking the guy has multiple accounts and scripts to swipe all the good stuff when it comes up in swaps.
