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

[Ghost]

At $43 a month every record needs to be an absolute smash hit with AP quality pressings, they can not keep shoveling “acceptable” ROTMS into our collections for that price. There is no room for the Bar-Keys forgettable album, John Mayer, Salt N Peppa or Patrice Rushen at that price point. The next 3 months better be Frank Ocean, Section 80, etc etc for them to justify shit like this.

Watch them announce Channel Orange and TOOL represses after the price hike lol

Look at this shit on their website. Cheeky bastards

With that discount, I'll probably stay on for a year, or however long they offer the discount, since $25/mo only equates to $1.25/mo increase over what I was already grandfathered in under.

Probably going to drop the addons and take whatever the best of the three tracks is each month.

this is likely what they're banking on

There's a part of me that thinks this is trying to push people to year subs as that's where the value is... Which screams cash flow issues

Goddamn, I could understand if add-on prices went up to something like $25 but $33?! Yeah, most months are just gonna be one track from here on out.

I’m on a yearly sub that renewed in June so I’ll be around for a little while longer at least. But if it’s not gonna be grandfathered in when renewal comes up next year, then I’m probably done for good.

If they make it until next June.

Because my annual renewal is up in September, they sent me an email offering a discounted renewal for $299 instead of $399...anyone else getting that?

Im not clued up on this but lets say you were subbed for a year and they went broke after a couple months, what would happen to the money you already paid?

Isn’t this just blatantly false advertising? In order to get a record for $33/month you have to first get a record for $43/month.... so essentially to get a record for $33/month you have to commit to paying $76/month

I am having an existential crisis because for 5 years I've connected myself to a company that is breaking

It broke for me in May of last year. They've made it very clear, repeatedly, that they don't care about their community. We're just a bunch of wallets to them.

Save your subscription fees, buy a better cartridge, wait for stores to open up, and go crate digging. Or ask people here for recommendations.

It's not too horrible at that price point. I wouldn't continue at $33+ per month though. I'll ride it out while I can.

 

[LeeVing]

Cancelled my Classics track. Haven't played any of the past couple months of that one anyway and the Erroll Garner wasn't that great of a pick - being that it can be found pretty regularly in the used bins for cheap. None of them have been worth 33 bucks for a long time.

I still have a couple months left of this 3 month sub of Essentials, so I'll wait and see what they have coming.

I'd imagine you'd be knackered. Maybe credit card protection would kick in?

I think the annual essentials plan works out to $33/month

Anyone else only received the emails about Add-On tracks being hiked and zero about any discounted offer?

It's worded in such a way that it sounds like a one-time renewal discount.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

This feels like a desperate move by a desperate company that is about to go under.

Reminds me a bit of MoviePass at the end when they kept changing the rules and pricing week to week basically just rearanging the deck chairs on the Titanic to see if anything would work.

 

[tonythegamer]

Are those prices for the upgrades old or are they valid under the new pricing I wonder? These prices aren’t horrible if they’re valid...

EDIT: ohhh it seems as though they might be valid, might take the 3 month or 6 month option, as those are actually not bad prices...

Also, lol just realized the 1 year being mislabeled as a 1 month, and that they’re going to bill me $300 every month. OUTRAGEOUS
