[Jan]

I am very disappointed by this forum. Are you all Barbarians?
You are opening your records? are you not Collectors? Opnening those will totally ruin the grading and value

But, did it cost $80??
I need to know the status this fine tool is supposed to lavish upon you.

It was a Gift and goes for less than 5$ on resale so no status lavished upon me except maybe diabetes

I mean the VMP knife may resell for $0.50 for all we know.

I like the note urging you to not order the knife along with items...will they just throw the knife in a box with your records if you do? Their shipping/logistics team can't figure out how to separate those things for you?

You're giving Saddle Creek waaay too much credit there.

VMP doesn’t need intelligence drugs, Pako.

The only reason to open them is to check for color before listing them on discogs at 3x the price.

My biggest disappointment isn't the $80 price tag but that the vinyl inlay on the knife is black wax and not from all the defective copies of Deloused, ATLiens, and 36 Chambers.

I think you are missing the potential for limited edition Martian Gold and Hotlanta Emerald colored handled knives, for the low price of $99 ($90 for members)

It might actually be worth $80 if they let you choose a VMP record to have melted down and used as trim.

 

[djdavedk]

Did VMP hire a small group of comedy writers to come up with marketing ideas?

I'm in the camp that people spend hundreds on a overrated paper weight, so surely there are folks willing to spend that on a plastic ripper. Couple that with the small overlap of those who collect vinyl AND knives, and baby, you got a stew goin'

At least a record weight is actually a specialized product with a purpose. The function of this gewgaw can be fulfilled by almost anything.

the small overlap of those who collect vinyl AND knives

That’s me. Well, kinda. I collect pocket knives not like samurai swords and shit like that. The problem with this knife (besides the insane price) is the specialization of its design that makes it less useful than most knives. folks have called it an overly expensive box cutter but TBH, it’s not even big enough to be an effective tool to break down a box, it’s too small. It also would not work well as an exact-o knife replacement as it would not be nearly as maneuverable.

The best comp/tool this VMP knife compares with is a letter opener with a sharper edge. They make fancy letter openers too so there is probably a market for this but it feels like a product a precious few would pay up for.
