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

Took an L on both Djo and Alice Coltrane.

Lol they must have had 1 copy of Djo. I kept refreshing, popped up, added to cart and.....gone.

Same with Tribe. Got it in the cart and immediately sold out.

Any chance you can grab me a Tribe - Low End Theory?

It's gone. Long gone.

Must have had 3 copies of anything desirable. All gone.

Most titles didn’t ever show “add to cart” for me.

Pesky kids!

This was not a serious restock.

Got Autry for the wife. I had three things on my list. Two of them sold out within milliseconds.

Was able to get When the Pawn... and Mavis Staples but Tidal never even showed up as "in stock" for me.

Me too thanks

Still so much overpriced poop there

Mavis showed as Waitlist Me Please right away but I went and got that Booker T Christmas album. Then after I completed the order I went back and saw Mavis was now in stock.

Ehh... I was always on the fence for that album and it's still relatively cheap on discogs if I do ever want to pull the trigger.

Thank God I already had most of the Really Good Stuff, otherwise that would have been a much more stressful and frustrating experience.

Tried for Art Angels, failed at checkout, ended up using my remaining credit to get John Mayer's Continuum.

For the time being, this will be my last order with VMP as I'm going to end my 6-year stay with the club this month.

Over hype and under deliver, never change VMP!

 

[sulken]

Well that wasn’t fun. Was able to grab the Booker T Christmas album. Struck out on Albert King and John Lee Hooker.

So, am I correct in assuming that they hyped this up, and only had one or two copies of the popular titles they found in the back room?

That’s what it seems like to me. So many titles never even showed up as in stock.

Back 'in the day' thats exactly what it was minus the hype. They used to limit it to 1-2 titles and announce on Twitter before dropping them.

It was always tricky to get anything but because it wasn't hyped it seemed more fair(?). I managed to get The National's Cherry Tree that way.

Kind of wish they would've just fucked off tbh. Don't put up titles on the restock unless they're actually restocked.
EDIT: And this is handling this miles better than reddit is right now...

I feel bad for whoever signed up just for this “restock.”
