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

[Geologyst]

I dislike r/vinyljerk but I also hate r/vinyl I think they are both terrible communities and r/VinylJerk was just a reaction all the crap posts on r/vinyl . I ended up unfollowing r/vinyl because I found it infuriating but r/vinyljerk is just smarmy shitposts. Also, mocking bad posts by making bad post as an attempt at parody still results in a bunch of terrible posts especially when there are only like 4 or 5 jokes that all posts hit on.
still it’s Reddit, I am sure there are way worse subs, I think r/redpill still exists after the recent purge. I am sure whatever sub that all the ex-r/the_donald husks are now clamoring to would probably be the worst.

i only follow r/vinyl because i'm obsessed with vinyl furniture.

Speaking of Reddit --- /vinyljerk has to be the worst Reddit community right?

It makes me hate this hobby.

r/vinyl is way worse. A total shithole. Like @TenderLovingKiller® I unsubbed and even got to the point where there are certain users there that I have on a blacklist that I have refused to sell records to on /vinylcollectors because they are such insufferable, smug dicks. Gatekeeping like crazy, pontificating, and endless war over how much a novice should spend on a turntable. Contrast it with /dvdcollecion and see how supportive and patient they are with everything and see how trash /vinyl is.

But for every 1 awesome vinyl furniture pic you have to scroll through about 10 pages of people posting photos of the same 5 records haphazard sprawled across dirty carpets or unmade beds. I am getting a tic just thinking about it.

Completely agree. It’s insufferable.

Kinda hoping for some more World music, maybe

According to reddit, it’s gone back up to over 300

Another tactic from the VMP FOMO playbook?

 

[SpinningSince85]

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

How exactly is he a "scam artist"? Are people buying records and he never sends them? I haven't heard of any of that going on personally.

Storf apparently commented via proxy and said that the Shopify loophole shouldn't be trusted, FWIW.

Hey, but remember that " Actual vinyl color and effect may differ from mockup "

It makes me giggle when I see this on my membership page for a classics release. Like, how are they going to screw up black vinyl color?

 

[MikeH]

Very interesting that it seems they are starting to implement member vs non-member pricing now. The Sparklehorse album is $239 non-member and $189 member price.

Yeah, every release today has a member price. Tbh it's hard to believe it hasn't been like that thus far.

another weekly drop with nothing to purchase my store credit staying there for ever.

I've been pushing that for a long time now. We knew they could do it since they have done it on all the Fiona releases, but was wondering what was taking them so long to do it. It seems like a win-win for everyone.

I really want that sparklehorse box. I just spent over $200 on The Glands and The Beat Happening Boxsets respectively. Only available copies of Sparklehorse LPs on wax are from Plain. I wonder if they will get released individually outside of the box.

It's very tempting...I found this detail interesting too:

Plated At QRP; Pressed At GZ Vinyl

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Damn near $50 an album of a too much. I am gonna hope for Individual releases.

Yea--I made the mistake of dividing the cost by 7LPs and then realized it's only 4 albums haha.

 

[Wes C. Attle]

I’m sorry, does this turn out to be almost $50 per album if you’re a member?

Edit: beat me to it
