Sweet Zombie Jeebuz, that takes hutzpah. Not sure if I should applaud them or get rid of all my records on Kijiji for free and walk away from this stupid hobby.

It's obvious we're not the target market for this crap. My hopes is that nobody buys this overpriced shit and this company burns itself to the ground sitting on $200+ shitty compilation albums.

They've limited it to what...500 total and they're still sitting on stock on their official site?

Yeah, classics didn't really do it for me this past year. Partly why I am canceling. I did get a few and liked them enough, but they weren't really highlights for me.

Oh I guess this vinyl release is tied to some NFT thing Run DMC is doing so yeah, this is absolutely money laundering lol

I was gonna point to the Saint Laurent x Travis Scott collab as the first shark jump, but it looks like 12on12 were behind that too

here’s a question: has anyone ever tried to rejoin with a record (any record) and immediately swap it for the store credits? I want absolutely nothing for for $52 but I’d get a membership for a month or two to buy some not-too-unreasonably priced exclusives

I wouldn’t purchase if it were $15.

Ha, yeah that's the thing...it's not even a great compilation and not even worth it if it was priced like a normal 2LP. It's a few classic hip hop tracks and then some Kenny G threw in for good measure.

"Dumb pricing" for this is not a VMP exclusive thing it seems.

I honestly wonder who is buying this? Super limited run or not, it's not even a great concept.
VMP subscribers of course, not y'all, but the majority, those that know no better, who believe that a subscription to VMP is where its 'all' at when it comes to collecting and finding great music on vinyl.

I haven't seen one person yet here and on reddit (where most store drops no matter how ridiculous have a ton of people saying they copped it) wanting to touch this with a 10 foot pole. The general sentiment around this is "lol". I'd honestly be surprised if this ever sells out. Such an ill-advised idea.

16 copies as of Wed, Nov 24 @ 2:44pm. Imma check back tomorrow and see if ANYONE has actually bought this.
EDIT: Second try it said 18 but gave me an error when I tried to double check.
Looks like 19 at least is the magic number between success and error.
Sigh, I guess I don't know how to accurately check stock on this one.

I agree, but if it is going sell to anyone, its in the right place to do so.

Yeah, there are two groups people will buys this; the first is the rich and ignorant, the second are people buying it as an investment. There is plenty of overlap between these two groups. These are the same schmohawks that get really hyped about NTF’s and Crypto. This is for all the wannabes who look up to the guys on the internet that brag about buying blocks of raw tungsten as a flex or a one of a kind Wu-Tang record. They aren’t to that level of dumb wastefulness but that is what they strive for and what a better way than to pull a needlessly expensive $200 record off your shelf.
