oojavaguru Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Poster is $40 and they just say "Limited Run", so the quantity is unknown at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glass realms Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 what a rip. $40? we're already paying $25 to be in the 45 Club, how about offering a discount for stuff like this? El Jefe's prints are usually $30 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmurray87 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 any idea how much this will be? anyone in the club want to order one for me? $47.50 for me after shipping, which I had to pass on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I kinda laughed at infinite merch selling signed copies of handwritten for $50 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Rather have one of those monster posters for $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 any idea how much this will be? anyone in the club want to order one for me? If you still want this at about $50 after shipping I will order one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectivemike Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I don't mind the price, I think a lot of work goes into a 4-5 color screen print, it's not like it's photocopied. I'm just psyched there are still bands around that put things together like this rather than just shitting out posters with the album artwork on them. /possibly reasonable, possibly fanboy billya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the El Jefe prints I've bought for less are even more limited. imaxcowboyx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to post that the fan club poster isn't any more complex than this but at a 25% higher price with more printed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the El Jefe prints I've bought for less are even more limited. yeah, sadly that's possible fanboy haha. I have a bazillion El Jefe prints (who is an awesome guy btw. Even helps judge graphic design competitons at the university i went to), and don't think I've ever spent more than $20 bucks on one. Even the 9:30 club Gaslight Print from last year was $20, and was (I'm fairly certain) equally as limited. I'm just curious if this will somehow sell out. I would hope almost everybody sees through this one and passes, which is a weird hope considering I want this fanclub to be something worthwhile..

They're probably underwriting the costs for the 7" with the markup on these. Definitely leaning more towards fanboy but as long as they don't keep pushing these out at these prices I'm still ok with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaxcowboyx Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 looks like at least some fell for it. only 110 left (assuming they were all put up for sale). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Anyone who has ordered the fan club relatively recently, what number was written on your package? Just wondering how many people are in this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 looks like at least some fell for it. only 110 left (assuming they were all put up for sale). I'm going to assume that 100 of those sales occurred within the first 2 minutes of this going up and was from people who were going to hit buy regardless of the price. Now that they are gone, I'm not sure the last 110 even sell this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 At one of the NYC shows Brian said the fan club wound up costing them money. They're new to it, I'm not too worried. $40 for that poster is worth it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectivemike Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Why the hell did we have to pay $25 if the poster is paying for the 7"? I don't have the answer to that... just saying that's a pretty logical conclusion to draw from the markup. If they're clearing an extra 10 bucks or so per print and it sells out that's more than enough to get it pressed. Obviously there are still a ton of kinks that need to get worked out of this system.

thebiglebowski Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 As far as dollars and cents goes, there is going to be some initial fixed costs for setting this up, getting the website going, coding out the preorder system, etc. If going forward the member benefits stayed about at the same level (a t-shirt, a 7", and the ability to buy a $40 poster...or comparable stuff) they will be making money off this in coming years and recoup whatever it cost them this year.

thebiglebowski Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 If you could look at it as "this thing cost more than we thought to do. We are selling these posters to recoup some of the money, and in the future the goal of the fan club will be do cool stuff for the fans while maintaining a near zero imbalance between fees and benefits", then that is totally cool and understandable. I'm speculating, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
