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

If only there was some indication that they were going to raise their prices due to unsustainable practices (shitty GZ QC and non-existent bundled shipping - oh and that pressing plant isn't going to pay for itself). Completely unavoidable.

I joined last month just to have this increase a couple of weeks later. I took a monthly sub so it won't hurt that much. I want to see what is in the swaps when it opens to see if it is worth it or not. There are a few exclusives I'd like to grab but not at shop price. If it's the same as usuas, I'll swap for the few records I want and will cancel again.

Eh, I'm a member (or at least was until about 20 minutes ago) and I'm not pissed really. It was a $3USD difference on a monthly sub that was already pushing the limits of how much I was willing to pay, and now that it's happening it's almost like getting out of an abusive relationship. I'm relieved I get to spend money elsewhere.

Hell, one month sub pretty much cost me the same as that Inside Llewyn Davis 3LP live album y'all convinced me to buy.

I would love to see a graph of subscriber numbers after the dust settles on this one. If people on reddit are to be believed those numbers are definitely going to drop.

It will be fun when they'll have monthly subscribers only.

Ha, I was a monthly subscriber and I can tell you it's even harder to justify this way.

I just checked my account to see how much was removed from it for 2 albums after exchange....$118 CAD. That's basically the cost of an extra album I'm just tossing out the window each month because they want to pretend they're a premium product.

I paid $181 with taxes for four records (with 4 tracks).

I ate too much of an edible on New Year's Eve and for some reason decided to be like "i'm gonna do a year of this shit" and it charged me the $399 price and yeah, sometimes, doing drugs works out in your favor, kids

You know thinking about this, the responsible thing to do was to give a heads up on the price increase and give current subscribers the opportunity to lock in at old prices.

What do I know though, I'm just a sucker who canceled their membership out of principle.

I am still on board for another year of the country sub as long as the yearly rate doesn't rise. I spend money on worse things every year.

Didn't yearly subs increase as well?

And hey, nobody is going to judge you about where you spend your money. I could easily afford the difference tbh. As I said above it's purely the principle for me. If you're going to increase the fees, I want to see you doing everything in your power to avoid doing it in the first place. I have seen very little from them to avoid raising prices several times since I've joined.
