He’d be all like I know how to tap a keg dammit.

I think it’s more than just money with the plant though. I suspect there was a lot of corporate harm done with various plants. I have no doubt there would never be another QRP pressing for VMP, ever no matter what. Chad seems like the kind of guy that would leave that in his will.

They can’t send out any type of communication to keep the speculation fires from burning, but I did get an email reminding me to take advantage of the… um… fire… sale.

At least this gizmo makes sense with Turntable Lab- they sell audio gear, various stereo related accessories and LPs. VMP sells Crosleys, candles and baseball hats. Only thing they're missing is the high school band fundraiser mattress sale.

Hate to kick a man while he’s down, but pitching his “editoial oversight” in his signoff is so on brand that I had to come back just to comment about it.

If you ask for a refund soon, assuming VMP is still solvent you should get a pro-rated refund for the unused months. If they go belly up before you get your refund you will be SOL unless your credit card or bank account that you made the purchase with is willing square you up.

Yeah but the period to ask for renewal refunds ended with the start of the new selection process. Their terms say they don’t offer membership refunds.
Crate was for sure a scam.

The moment I saw what this membership option entailed, I thought this was the equivalent of throwing money into a fire pit. Paying for shipping up front with no other incentives? Why would anyone do that?

That was mentioned in the lawsuit too. That it damaged VMP’s reputation and business relationships

Crate was a gym membership essentially. I'd be surprised if many people went for it.

I'm coming in with the hottest of takes: Storf isn't a bad writer.
I think he maybe needed an editor to help hone some of his analogies and doublecheck some grammar, but his writing was, on the whole, easy to read and entertaining. I thought his Gus Cannon article was superb, for example.
I say this coming from 20+ years of experience writing and editing online news copy. I have seen worse than Storf. Much, much, worse.

No riskier than it was yesterday.
They’ve been trying very hard to bucket water out of the sinking ship. They’re still a sinking ship, cutting staff gives them a little more capital to stay afloat but probably not enough to save them. At some point they won’t be able to continue… whether that’s now or three months from now, who knows.

Go on, geezer.
I can’t believe they have The Silvertones vinyl record album listed for $45.
