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

Been over 20 years since I worked music retail but back then cost was the same across the board for all retailers, but the mark-up differed greatly from store to store (a&b sound and Future Shop would sell CDs below cost and make up the margins on their electronics - which really fucked the game for the smaller shops who had to sell for MSRP, or closer to at least) but there would be additional discounts and kickbacks for bigger bulk buys as well. So if it's the label raising costs, it'll likely affect all shops but look a bit different based on buying power and the ability to absorb some of the difference or not.
Futureshop, now that brings back some memories. I used to collect Steelbooks and Futureshop always had the coolest Steelbooks.

Apparently it's much cheaper on Bullmoose.


The shipping to Canada is what always kills it! Converted on Bandcamp it's $32 for the record, $30 for shipping! VMP converted is like $51. It'll show up at my local for way less so again unless it's a true exclusive or something that's going to be way too much at my local I'm not touching anything from VMP... records are too damn expensive!!

Amazon product ASIN B0937ZVVN1
$30 for a white colored copy. VMP truly has jumped the shark. When I want to give money to Amazon over VMP you know you messed up. That aside, this album is AMAZING.
