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

@Skalap I think I saw earlier you were wondering about international "bridge" discounts. Looks like this is it. So pretty much the same as the original prices for us, but likely just a one time deal then it goes up. So assuming they don't go out of business within a year (certainly possible) the best deal is the year rate which is pretty close to where it's always been.

Thanks but I think it was @Selaws who asked about that.

$500 is too much. Give me a bridge offer. $495 and I'm in.

We looked extensively at that pricing strategy and have concluded that in order to continue to provide the stellar service that our customers have become accustomed to since we started this business six minutes ago we simply have to charge $500 to allow for uh... overheads and um... underlings and like... manufacturing of... stuff.

This seems shady I would like someone to review the legalese.

Cheers for this guys, think it got buried in the sea of messages. I'm currently paying $108 every 3 months so $112 is a reasonable jump compared with what I expected. Obviously the way that it has been worded this strongly implies that after this it will go up again.

Before all this kicked off I was going to jump to the yearly. With the discount on the new price I would be paying less than I have been. The obvious issue is what would happen if they did go into liquidation. All my transactions are through Paypal so I think I'm covered. I will have to do a bit of digging on their website and see. I have 3 weeks until I should get an email from VMP, so plenty of time to assess.

Let me know what you find, I may go yearly too but I'm a little concerned about recovering my money if they go under. I'm not sure if PayPal covers bankruptcy.
 
I'm about 50 pages late on this but...the Sparklehorse box. I really want those albums on vinyl but just can't justify the price to myself even at the member level - the $189 is probably about £150-£160 at the moment (admittedly what I paid for the recent Go-Betweens box) with the risk of a further £40 of customs fees.
