There has been a lot of negative VMP sentiment lately with all their logistics issues and the reddit sub has a TON of subscribers now. It’s at almost 12,000 subscribers. You can’t go on their twitter without seeing some response about Vinceron to everything they tweet. They are likely hoping it dies down and will not end up having to say anything about it. I don’t know that they are in cahoots with Vinceron. I just agree that they know about him but have turned a blind eye. They likely don’t care about him buying hundreds of copies of albums because it’s hundreds of sales. It’ll be interesting to see if anything comes of it but I doubt it will.
They're going to do everything they can to have their cake and eat it too. Why would they give up 100's (or more) sales to flippers if regular customers are still buying. Now....if they see subscribers leaving in droves due to the issue then perhaps they'll take action. But if all they have is squawking but they're keeping all (or the majority of - cause sure they'll lose some people over this but prob people who were on the precipice already due to all other issues) their sales, then they can probably live with that. If they're motivated by money, which they surely are as a business, then the smart move is to keep allowing people like Vinceron to keep on keeping on.
The thing you're missing here is that in many cases, Vinceron is emptying their stock. Regular customers AREN'T buying, because they can't - there's no inventory. That is a missed opportunity for VMP to convert a single purchase into a continuing revenue stream of a subscriber.

Worse, it damages their goodwill, and likely pretty badly. Intangible assets matter, too!
If they are motivated by money, and care about sustainable growth and cash flow, the smart business move is to do the opposite of the underlined.
You didn't realistically think that was going to happen, right? They can't even bundle shit.
No but it was a dream. I was only supposed to get the Tyner last month
Crazy you still haven't gotten it. I have a feeling BVSC will have the same fate this month.
Yea...I feel dumb for rejoining for Spiritualized + BVSC when I had so many outstanding orders...I have cancelled a few but still waiting on Fiona and a few other preorders...
Well, we're still in the same boat. I guess I'll give them til the 15th again before sending an email asking where my July record is.
This part. The aggrieved party is always the loudest. I'd imagine the vast majority of VMP subscribers just wait for their records to come in.
I've been a member of VMP for years now and have had way fewer issues than a lot of people, but when I have had issues (other than the occasional warp) it tends to be sorted relatively quickly. I think its a balance of luck and who you get when you message CS.
