nothing about this hobby is fair, people miss out on things they want all the time, we complain for a bit and move onto buying some other thing we probably don't need. circle of life...
Agree to disagree here I guess.Nope. Fomo is a powerful motivator. They are masters of generating it. It’s funny to see folks still falling for it.
I would have bought tribe. I honestly forgot about the sale. Saw the email at 1201, logged in, searched tribe saw waitlist and went welp VMP gonna VMP. Then I saw someone say something about a hype sale being a shitshow and came to thread to see all the old complaints about them. VMP is gonna VMP.
Taking reddit as the temperature gauge. I've seen disappointments after TBTs. The hype is there, as well as the disappointment. People are checking it, and being disappointed that there's nothing there that they wanted, or that they only had a couple of copies of what they did.Agree to disagree here I guess.
I feel that saying it's their largest TBT generates a lot of FOMO as well. It just keeps the disappointment level down.
They want you to be disappointed because you talk about it. I bet they do a similar “sale” next year. I’m telling you this is a pattern they have been at for at least six years at this point.Agree to disagree here I guess.

to be fair, reddit is never a temperature gauge of anything remotely reasonable. the VMP subreddit is particularly awful.Taking reddit as the temperature gauge.
It's a tire fire, but at least you can make some assumptions based on how big the tire fire is.to be fair, reddit is never a temperature gauge of anything remotely reasonable. the VMP subreddit is particularly awful.
The very top of the page and their marketing emails always note that the stock quantities are extremely limited and expect them to go fast. In a way they're damned if they do, damned if they don't.I have to say I kind of chuckle at all of this. Just so I understand - Did VMP promise everyone that everyone would get a copy of whatever was on their list? People knew these were (very) limited right? They knew that demand via the internet exceeded supply right? But now they're surprised/shocked/angry? At least I didn't have to actually drive to some store somewhere and wait in line for hours on end only to get shut out...oh wait, that's RSD, and people hate that too. I'd be willing to bet that the same people will be back in line again for the next online TBT or RSD or whatever.
Ok carry on.
both of these are really excellent. people are truly sleeping on them if they don't have them. that King Curtis was one of my favorite "new" discoveries from VMP in awhile.As an aside, I'm a bit surprised seeing King Curtis and Bill Withers are still in stock, several hours later. Withers especially is a fantastic album and I highly recommend for anyone on the fence.
People complain. Give them paradise, they'll tell you it's too bright.I have to say I kind of chuckle at all of this.

Case in point: I hate your post and everything about it! Why? I don't know but imma let you know.
This!!!!!! I saw this coming a mile away…not surprised by the store drop and the backlash at allI have to say I kind of chuckle at all of this.

Has anyone received Extraordinary Machine yet? I'm tempted to order it, but I'm hesitant given that they think a GZ press is worth a Mofi price.Sale's up, Fiona is members-only
