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

[Twentytwo]

If I was anybody working at VMP right now, I'd be looking for a new job I know that.

I totally forgot about Crate, I did that a few times, wasn't it five dollars a month back in 2016-2017?

Yup and it was a good option before swaps. I’m unsure why you would choose it now. I guess it depends on pricing of ROTM but I don’t think I would find it an effective cost saving for me. Especially since part of their overblown pricing is clearly baking shipping in and then charging for it to nonmembers.

Hey, at least I will be able to cancel the rest of my yearly subscription.

 

[bdrummond]

Totally reminded I should just go ahead and cancel my Toussaint order because there is a hundo percent chance I am definitely not getting it.

When is that “expected” to ship?

If your membership is active as of February 1, 2025, you’ll receive a 15% discount on future store purchases (vs. 10% for new members) and a surprise gift in your February shipment as a token of our appreciation.

If you missed the Vinyl Me Pardner Bandana you are in luck.

What are you swapping from if you don't have a ROTM?

Last I checked Late March.

They are basically just gonna do a bunch of exclusives moving forward. I imagine it will just be a swap away from their choice.

This is exactly Bandbox 2.0

Seems like you're just picking, or letting VMP send you some dead stock.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Hey, remember a couple of months ago when they were like we’re trying to figure out how to do a swap track? The answer was to ONLY have a swap track.

Poor Paul up front dodging bullets right now.

This change is a disaster. I can't think of a good reason why anyone should join vmp or keep their membership because it's pointless without the rotms. They are basically using this as a way to get rid of old stock before they eventually shut down like bandcamp has.

I know I'm going to regret this, but I'm letting my pre orders ride. I probably owe it to them. I know I'll likely never see them but, let's see what happens.

I’ve only got the repress of Morgan riding and I got it in a sale before they corrected an error on it. So I’m in for $19. If I get it I get it. I lost more in Bandbox, with no way to recoup from the loss because that crap was through my work email.

Pick your ROTM from our selection of overpriced exclusives* or we will pick it for you.

* when we say exclusive we just mean a coloured vinyl pressing of a record that was released about 4 months ago.

That’s his job. lol

 

[Nee Lewman]

Also, the irony in bringing back “the best damn record club” before turning into the “best damn overpriced store getting ready to go bankrupt”

This is exactly Bandbox 2.0

But at least there's people you can contact about issues with your order as with bandbox they quickly shut down with nobody to get in contact with about your orders.
