Shitty Rambo Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Holy shit, that's amazing! (And it makes me feel better about myself on Twitter as I got like a 94% or something.) 98% son! I remember when I only had 8,200 followers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 What will decide how long VNYL or RCRDSTR survives is the number of millennials who are willing to spend $25 a month or $50 plus parking and gas to be able to take a single Instagram photo of themselves with old, funny, cute vintage records. Their store front is a big beach-style-event-loft-sized photo booth with minimal product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Also, someone linked to a second article (Rambo possibly) and they said that they price Dylan, Young, and Costello at $12 a pop. Holy shit, I should be happy that my local store usually has them around $6. Yeah, depends on the area, but a nice copy of most creative peak-era albums by any of those guys is definitely at least $12 all day long for the most part, with some stuff going for more. Neil Young in particular is pretty in demand right now. I've been waiting patiently for a clean copy of On The Beach to show up locally for under $30.

jerseydave77 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 98% son! I remember when I only had 8,200 followers I got on Twitter a couple months back and am more than pleased with my 130ish followers. ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdturbo Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 That isn't really a get rich quick scheme though. The service had the potential to be more of a money-maker. Recurring revenue is where it is at right now, which is why you're seeing more things adopt a subscription model. I still think a curated monthly delivery service is an sound (and profitable) idea, provided they get the curation aspect right. I'd maybe try one out if it looked promising. But, so far, the problem has been two-fold. First, curation can be really, really, tricky, even with algorithmic help. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, everyone starting these types of services seem like complete fucking morons. they obviously have no interest in improving their curation, which is why this is a scam.

Shitty Rambo Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I got on Twitter a couple months back and am more than pleased with my 130ish followers. ha ha. I've backed off over the last couple months, it's an addictive time waster for sure. I like Twitter a lot because when I make jokes on there people follow me, opposed to when I make jokes on here and everyone thinks I'm being an asshole haha.

niblips Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Same for me about On the Beach. I'd pay 30 but I never see it. my local guy said he hasn't had a used copy in that wasn't trashed in 10 years..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Because of this thread I now have VNYL ads on almost any site I visit on my phone. Same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Same I was getting these super bad when this crap initially started. I noticed a transparent X in the corner of one of the ads and clicked on it, it gave me an option to never see them again and I haven't since.

jerseydave77 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I appreciate that they replied to my shitty tweet with the line that "you'll have no choice but to keep em". I'm a fan of their sense of humor. Rambo, I'll add you. I'm good for a joke or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratbrain Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Because of this thread I now have VNYL ads on almost any site I visit on my phone. hey that's a good thing, they're wasting ad impressions on someone who already knows it's a scam as opposed to potentially duping someone else.

kjkenney Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'd pay 30 but I never see it. my local guy said he hasn't had a used copy in that wasn't trashed in 10 years..... I just found this a couple weeks ago for $3 locally The sleeve has some heavy ringwear, but the disc is great. I've been on a kick with him lately and have just been picking up random albums of his. Hadn't heard this album before then, but it has become one of my favs of his! niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundofsilver Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 If I send someone on VC $50 to buy my next sack of MJ, and tell them what kind I prefer to smoke, I would be pissed off if they sent me oregano from Whole Foods, instead of the saffron I asked for. @museummouth - you did right by your niece to explain, using the bins at your local shop. Cheers. Someone in LA needs to find out when exactly when their shop opened, or, do we know if someone connected to this group owns the house/'shop'?

aarondltd Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 These were surprisingly left by some asshole who apparently showed up early and bought most of it. Has this always happened or does VNYL have people doing this to replenish their stock. Anyways Im happy they left these at least but knew they were going to do this so didn't even bother going early.
