Guest Admin Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 WHATEVER ($5.00 MYSTERY ITEM(S)), Feeling Adventurous? Want a Surprise? http://stores.channeladvisor.com/vinylhome/Items/sh1whatever The Whatever sales have been one of the biggest surprises at Vinyl Collective. We have sold 600 so far and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. I just wanted to give you an update on stuff we are putting in Whatever's this week for a handful of lucky folks: * A Vinyl Cooperative Unit of Participation - someone sold one back to us and we couldn't think of a better way to get rid of one so we will be mailing one to one lucky individual. If you get it, please make sure you drop us a line. * Test Pressings - We have recently approved test pressings for Portugal the Man it's complicated being a wizard, the 3 newest Under the Influence 7"s (Joey/Mike, O Pioneers/New Bruises, Kevin/Kepi), Gregory Alan Isakov, Tim Barry/Frank Turner split, Chad Price LP, and more. We will be sending one of each test pressing to a handful of lucky Whatever purchasers. * 3 packages of Beef Jerkey - went to the corner store and bought some beef jerkey. Hopefully a vegan doesn't end up with it, but if they do, hopefully they are not too offended. Sorry in advance. * More Records, CDs, T-shirts, Coozies, Stickers, Posters, and more. Good luck!

geezfools Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 yeah, I'll be ordering today using the discount code and hoping for no beef jerkey, but my girlfriend likes it and her birthday is coming up, win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw88 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I can think of a better way to get rid of the unit of participation. Selling it to one of the people who really wanted one but could not get one because the site was not set up to handle the traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtw88 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Nah. I honestly don't even want one at this point. I don't have the money to spend on it right now, I'm not a fan of any of the records that have come out and only care for 2 or 3 on the new list, and I find it hard to believe that the coop will run smoother while Virgil is try to take his main focus to the next level.

vittywatt Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 i purchased one of the new craft beer shirts and ordered a whatever item. can't wait to see what it is. jerkey is a good gift but it's no test press that's for sure. as for the participation...shit that sounds awesome. no matter WHAT way that was handled (given away free/rebuy option/list of waiting people/etc.) someone is bound to get upset.

acorren1 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Ordered one of these with the Tigers Jaw 7" and the Caleb Lionheart bootleg 3rd press just now. Fingers crossed for no beef jerky! Stoked to see what I end up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markovianprocess Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I've ordered another one with two t-shirts. I'm well excited by the talk of all of these test pressings and the unit of involvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I ordered one of these last week with the sole hope of getting jerky. C'mon, jerky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This leaves it up to chance and makes it exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Wait wait, isn't someone supposed to buy the unit and contribute $60 towards the general fund? Or did VC buy it? I thought there was a waiting list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookups96 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 i had either 2-3 of these boxes say they shipped yesterday! a UNIT or a UTI Test would make my day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was a waiting list. we paid for it but no money came out of the coop. I just figured that it would be too hard to pick one of the coop wait list folks without rocking the boat, but then again no matter what I do, someone will be pissed.

jesse Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 So you're giving someone $55 out of your(VC's) pocket in order to be nice? Holy shit. That is nice. Well I guess it entices people to buy the whatever box. Still . . . very neighborly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adam526 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I'm adding a W/E box to my already gigantic order waiting to be shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think that it is important to put things in the Whatever sales that blow people away, can't do it for every order, but we want to make it interesting and fun.

respect21 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Virgil, I sent you another email about my other Whatever package if you haven't seen it yet. I'm thinking about buying a couple more of these. A PTM test pressing would make my day, without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 my gf bought two last week and i just bought another one. i really hope i get the ptm test press. would kill for that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickh Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 mine is in the mail on the way to Australia somewhere so i probably missed out on my chance for this stuff.

blueeyedtheory Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I should be getting one tomorrow... and I am waiting for a shipping confirmation for another order where I got the Caleb the Lionheart bootleg deal. Can't wait to get them!! I wasn't around, so what's this Unit of Participation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
