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

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Okay, I'm definitely gunna need someone to tell me if Adele 30 is actually $51 USD for the 2LP wide release. Not because I want it but because holy crap seriously?

Looks like MSRP is probably $40 so a $6 gouge seems about right for VMP.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

So VMP is marking it up 50%

Wow

The Non-Member price w/ shipping is a lot but it’s not $70.

Even the Hot Chip LNT I got with GB has some nasty pops and crackle. Such a disappointing service.

It’s just fucking preposterous at this point, they probably shipped out Grizzly Bear knowing damn well it was defective like the past 3 records. Luckily I got this one for free after the Wu Tang fiasco but I’m still hounding them until I get a clean replacement. For anyone who got Grizzly Bear, I would just go ahead and demand a refund simply because you’re 110% entitled to it after this last 4 month stretch.

Been relatively hands off with my vinyl the past month cause of the addition of a Hi-Fi streamer to my system but in the past two days I’ve received two records: Le Ren - Leftovers (Secretly Society) and Grizzly Bear and I’ve had to request replacements on both.

to be (not really at all but might as well try to be) fair..


on adeles official store its 40 dollars... and the shipping is 10 bucks... so compared to buying it from adele directly its not TOO much (still vinyl inflation is annoying and how could an artist as big as adele not have a place to distribute in the US which would be the only excuse for that expensive of shipping)


still completely stupid

€30 for black or €40 for indie here

($35 and $46)

That would be a 100% mark up

50% mark up on $35 would be $52.50. so it's pretty much the non member price.

They don’t call ya MATHer for nothing.

I live in a country with a really high cost of living and 23% VAT and can walk into the expensive record store in the local shopping centre (I think you call them malls?) rather than having to go to the more reasonable and sound store in town that is my favourite and I can buy the indie exclusive for the same price as VMP are charging for the black on a “member special”

I suck at math. Am I wrong? I certainly could be wrong.

 

[Joe Mac]

No you’re right.

You’re right. I just wanted to make the joke. And also wanted to see @Joe Mac ’s reaction when I said “math” instead of “maths”

I let it fly for the purposes of the pun

Preordered the amazon exclusive white vinyl for $44 and I guarantee it’ll drop at least a couple bucks before it ships. If there’s a great Indie color I might have to switch to that but happy for now.

With prices like these I'm steady asking myself, are CDs really all that bad!?

Really have to ask myself if I really need the vinyl these days.

 

[Mather]

People think that Mather means I'm good at math.
But really all it means is HISTORICALLY I'm good at burning witches...

ALLEGEDLY...

Certainly a much easier blind pre order...

 

[KenKaniff]

I'm going to wait until Adele's album is out, you know they will press a gazillion of these,, the market will do it's thing, and I'll buy it months after release from finding a price I'm comfortable with from r/vinyldeals.
