What's the most strategic time to join for that?

Don't really need a 3-month sub and I'm not sure if there's anything I can swap out to get my money's worth. (I do a crate membership that treats me well enough, as far as catching those occasional must-haves.) Really don't want to join at the end of August and risk being on a waitlist or settling for store credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingoodhands Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) I forgot to swap John Mayer if anyone wants to trade that for something else. Edited July 30, 2020 by ingoodhands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I’d sign up now guys. At the worst you can swap for credit (not the 20% more) . at the very least, watch and sign up for 1 month the second it gets announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyEnemy Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Aight. Damn, was on there earlier this month, and the 3-month was $60 or something like that, now it's $80. Are there any discounts codes or anything floating around? Sorry, I've tried to go this long without really fucking with VMP, but I REALLY want Ladies and Gentlemen...

Really don't want to join at the end of August and risk being on a waitlist or settling for store credit. How much is the crate sub per month? The swap for credits option has basically made it a free crate subscription if you don't mind building credit. You could pay $81 for 3 months, if none of the 3 months appealed you could transfer them all back into credits to then pay for your next 3 month subscription, you'd still be part of the club with free shipping and access to exclusives, and you would no longer have to worry about dipping in and out when there is an exclusive you're interested in. The only downside is I think they charge for the next subscription before giving credits, so you might have to pay another $27 during your first quarter (which you'll get back in credit), and I guess they could pull the option to swap for credits at any point - they've been offering it for the last 3-4 months so I would hope it's going to continue. The way I see it is you'd pay $108 for a lifetime crate subscription but you'd have $108 of store credit to use up when you decide you no longer want to be part of the club. As a member who's main interest is their store exclusives the credit swap option has been a game changer.

ethereal Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but the kids in the VMP camp are in cahoots with VMP over a user named Viceron who apparently has a private deal with VMP to be allocated hundreds of VMP editions to flip, many were banned from their forum for complaining/bringing it up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think so? They're using their favorite buzzword in the product description – "exclusive" – but that could very well just be for the box that houses everything. Which I really don't mind paying an extra $20 or so for, vs. buying them individually. I'd just be annoyed to grab this for $200 and then see some /500 or /1,000 colored versions surface a month later, at $30 a piece from Bull Moose or something.

Looks like these have only been licensed in the past. Another label would have to come do the legwork to release individual copies. Only label that's been doing that is Plain and they suck.

There’s nothing indicating VMP is complicit. Yeah, it's a bunch of bored overly emotional internet justice warriors making a monumentally big deal out of hardly anything imo. The vinceron dude is clearly a douche but he's bragged about having 20+ accounts to buy stuff. He mostly has vmp releases that aren't even that hard to get anyways. People need to realize that every hobby ever pretty much has had flippers, it sucks sometimes but bitching in every vinyl outlet across the internet isn't going to change it. I bet vinceron is seeing some good sales from all this free publicity actually... pepperonigin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I love Sparklehorse and have half of them already so I’m not interested in the box but damn that has to be one of the most overpriced sets I’ve seen in a while. Shouldn’t be over $130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
