If I understand correctly I could order it if I am a member and if it is not sold out, right? Members can order any past album of the months that are not sold out. The public can only order past album of the months that are a year old according to their new store setup. Anyone can view the store by clicking "Login" at the top of their page. Anything that doesn't show the Member Exclusive Banner is fair game for anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuwdboots Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 More info on the store being open to the public and no new Crate subscriptions: http://blog.vinylmeplease.com/important-update-regarding-our-members-store/ Exclusive members-only purchase windows are as follows: VMP Archive (Past Monthly-Feature Albums) – 12 months VMP Member Store Exclusives – 30 days VMP Non-Exclusive Curated Vinyl – 7 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I cancelled my Crate membership yesterday - didn't see anything coming up that I was interested in and was disappointed in the Preoccupations pressing. Guess that's cool I can still purchase exclusives after 30 days if they're available. This shit bugs me though, and it's not just VMP: "In addition, we’ll be enforcing a 3-copy limit on any single product." There's really no reason anyone needs more than 1 copy of any kind of variant. When it's exclusive stuff, it just makes it more difficult for others to get a copy - member or not. I can see someone buying a copy for a friend or something once in a while, but let's be honest, people are buying multiple copies to flip - either now or in the future.

boops_popmarket Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Flippers gobbling up copies is beneficial to a label/club to a certain extent, so far as it does not cause too much frustration to 'normal' consumers. Instituting a 1 per person only rule would make 'normal' customers feel good but it would cause the label to lose a lot of sales on less desirable releases that are mainly propped up by the illusion of exclusivity. Even with flippers being able to buy multiple copies, there are still low run releases (500-1,000) that don't sell out for a long time (and some never do). Labels benefit from flipping as long as it doesn't anger their customers who miss out to the point that they lose them.

downisthenewup87 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Is the Danny Brown still available? If so...Finances are tight atm as saving for an upcoming wedding in Thailand so I temporarily canceled my VMP account last month.However, AE is one of my favorite albums of the year amd I have sealed copies of the new Wilco (pink) or Ride: Best of (BF Red) that I'd be willing to trade. You might even be able to talk be out of the Orange High Fedility soundtrack or Flume's marbled purple varient of Skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza face Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) If I sign up for one month (to get Danny Brown) I don't have to get Beck's album (Record of the Month) for the subscription price?

EDIT:Read I can only do that with a 3-month subscription It might be worth messaging them to say that you want to try a month to see how it all works but you do not want to commit to three months yet.. they have really good customer service so they might do that as a one time thing.

You can buy both Danny Brown and Fugees with a crate subscription (assuming it's still available, they announced recently they wouldn't be accepting new crate subscriptions).

I wonder what happens if you sign up for a monthly membership, place an order for Danny Brown and the Fugees, and then cancel your membership when the November AOTM is announced. I think the window for Beck has passed so you're membership won't activate until November 2 but I think you can still shop in the store.

ethereal Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 dunno what all the confusion is about.. if you're not an active member and want something, all you have to to is pay shipping instead of getting it shipped free. you don't have to be a paying (active) member to buy member exclusives, just as long as you have an account, it's just gonna be $6 more expensive than an active account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a member of VMP with an inactive/non-paying account. For months I never had any problems accessing and buying VMP-exclusive club titles in their store. As of yesterday that changed, however. Not sure if this was a hiccup of their new store or not. Syntax may have more info on how to still purchase club titles without being a paying member, not sure.

When I tried purchasing Stranger Things it said it was for members only and I'd have to renew. So I passed.
