I'm actually intrigued as to what's going to happen on 9/1 as I'm not going to pay these new jacked-up prices and have been on a month-to-month* even after they made Classics its own sub, but... as of 8/1, I continue to have an active Crate membership. Will that get renewed or tossed out like the pricing on all the supposedly grandfathered customers?
*Even though, thanks to Crate, I've technically been an "active" member since Apr 2015, I'm guessing this is why I'm not being offered a loyalty discount. It's 3/119, 6/219, 12/399, which is a nope all around.
I also checked on Discogs last night and have over 300 records under the VMP label, and probably only a dozen I got on the secondary market. Losing me alone isn't going to kill them, but lose enough of the people who've given them that much money? Customers aren't fungible commodities.
