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

Speaking of back in the day, I remember a few years ago there was a customer support agent named Tyler who was a real douchebag. Is that THE Tyler, or just a(or D) Tyler?

If anybody is somehow still a member, looks like swap preview is live and pretty barebones

Debating how I should play this with the assumption that there's a small chance stuff will ship. I could swap for credit and buy exploration in sound for an additional $25 or whatever. Or credit and pick a few random things. Or based on that list go with a tribe called quest but I'd go in blind. Last option is to swap for credit and hope next month they're in the same place and I can swap for credit and buy the exploration in sound fully on credit.

Wouldn't shock me if they can slowly go another month or two bare bones

Tribe Called Quest is good.

Tribe Called Quest is good.

Yeah and that's at least selling for more than the credit. Not sure what it goes for on cogs

At this point, you’re waiting on next fulfillment cycle, which is end of April. So swapping for credit and buying something or swapping will likely ship at the same time…

Correct. I rolled the dice on a 3 month. April is month 2 so I could roll the dice that they're around in May and the exploration in sound is still there and use April and May credit for it

Thanks for the heads up! I renewed for 12 months back in August before the price increase and stayed in after the format change so I’m still a member! Maybe one of the few left‍♂!

The fact that the link was fixed and works this morning and my March selection and test pressing has been shipped gives me some hope I’ll get another month or so. Pickings are slim but it looks like I’ll go with Oliver Nelson - Straight Ahead and find something else to use the remaining credit I have.

Shot in the dark, but does anyone have an extra Fleetwood S/T disc laying around? The one I received from Dusty Groove has this pebble sized protrusion sticking out of the wax. Neither them or VMP have replacements available

Probably the move, relatively cheap copies up there. Just have never seen something like this bump. Thanks for the sendoff, VMP.

What does it mean

What does it mean

Nothing really. There was a discrimination suit against them awhile ago. It got settled out of court.

Probably no relation to the current death spiral unless they have sold the company or are trying to and wanna clear any litigation

I know. Read about this case maybe a year ago. Just saying as to “what does this mean?” in relation to the past few weeks, probably not a whole lot. It’s unlikely the settlement suddenly made them in financial trouble. They have been in trouble for a long time.
