1madraven Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Am I the only one that is fed up with so many preordered albums. I am new to the hobby and have a lot of orders that keep getting pushed back! I would rather them put them up for sale when they are in hand. Sorry if this is an old topic of frustration for vinyl community. Justinadamk, ditc586, shenanigans and 1 other 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're very unique and special. lexicondevil, whoa, V3XED and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this is an old topic of frustration for vinyl community. You picked a rough time to get into the hobby with all of the supply chain issues and COVID impacting labor (probably a chicken and egg thing there). I've never seen it this bad before, but hopefully it will improve... in the meantime you just have to be patient. I'm currently waiting on 38 pre-ordered titles (sick brag, I know.) 1madraven, IndigoHollow, OneThreeOneTwo and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Banned User] Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 My vinyl collection is only preorders. In fact, once the preorder does ship to me, I simply return it and then remove it from my collection. Then I preorder something new to take its place. poweredbytrust, Tommy, Corgipants and 18 others 6 3 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked my list...I'm waiting on about 45 or so. But to be fair...35 or so are true pre-orders that have not even been released. The rest have already been out and just waiting on them to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1madraven Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 I think I’m giving up on preordering any more albums unless I absolutely LoVE the artist. It kind of sucks to wait on an album, after the preorder is done because I might miss out on great variants or getting the record all together😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out while you can. What you’re describing has been the name of the game since I started buying vinyl back in ‘09, personally. Hasn’t really changed since then. You either play around the FOMO or settle for whatever Amazon may eventually stock down the road. Desirable variants and limited editions are probably off the table for you unless - like you said - you’re only buying them for artists / albums you know and love. Just the nature of new releases and has been for quite some time – I will agree that Covid has really compounded the waiting game and made delays way more common, though.

Rip Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) The way I look at it, they’re ordered, so you’re gonna get them eventually. Nothing you personally can do about it other than just wait. It sucks but it’s all a part of it. It may be worse now than it used to be, but this has always been a thing.

Tis' the VC spirit 😂 Also @1madraven, just like any "good" or "fun" hobby, I would recommend you get yourself a nice spreadsheet. It makes keeping track of it all much easier, because waiting is the name of the game.

timsimmons Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Nah, its usually ready within a week or 2. But people will wait in massive lines for it if they don't do pre-orders. Hell, people camp out for Bourbon County like its RSD. Edited January 6, 2022 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
