Thoughts from sellers about inflation situation?
Shelby replied to t198's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I don't like it but the ratio isn't any different. $1-2 cost = $11 wholesale while $5+ = $22. What is off? Major labels are still overcharging on top of that but there have been several comments completely writing off increased manufacturing costs which imo is crazy. That's literally the root of the problem. -

Gotta remember pressing less copies is more expensive though. Paying the little guy $30 for an LP /100 or /200 is terrible for everyone but fair lol -

Question: why is everyone saying the cost to press a record hasn't gone up? That's complete bullshit it's increased at least 3x in the last 5-10 years. A 12" release on black vinyl used to cost about $1-2 per unit now it's up near $5. -
You seem to have some sort of NPD going on. I suggest trying to be more self-aware, if you actually want to better yourself it's easier to recognize when you're doing it.

That still makes no sense and isn't true. Which plants?
-
There aren't any pressing plants that just have non-fill by default... that's kinda ridiculous to say. They'd be closed. Like Rainbo.

Just be a girl. Since vinyl collectors are mostly loser simps you'll have followers by the thousands.

I've had skipping problems on exactly 2 records from the thousands I've played the last 15 years. It's your turntable.

I think this could actually be one of the most offensive vinyl releases ever. Making it vinyl only to sell out faster is also devious and something I've seen the band themselves pushing ("this is the way music is intended to first be listened to" lmfao) so they aren't completely off the hook. That's a crock of shit. -

I don't think anyone said they're terrible, but I have like 5 double LP releases in the same type of sleeve that were priced normally and not $65. This new pressing is also a downgrade at 33rpm instead of 45 like the original so there's not a high chance it'll sound better either. The Bon Iver anniversary release had this same type of embossing (but far more detailed) for half the price too. Shit this is the same price the nicest white on white embossed package ever designed (mwY untitled and imo of course :p) originally cost and that was a triple LP in a box plus a crazy detailed hardcover book. Whoever owns Triple Crown now looked at hip-hop vinyl to price this and poor Caspian are gonna take another L because of it. Sold like 30 copies today vs a few hundred yesterday and probably less tomorrow. -

Yeah that actually looks like a downgrade on the gatefold packaging. I'll grab one of these for half off down the line. -

I forgot all about that. Such a bummer but expected. I feel like this is one of those bands that looks like they have more fans than they actually do, by a lo -

Man I just see two embossed jackets in a PVC sleeve. If they're in hand and really cool why are they not showing it anywhere? Like, that's more than even Frank Ocean decided to charge haha. I love the standard packaging though so I am inclined to believe this will be cool. But $65 cool?
