Pre-Order Thread

It also seems companies get out of the game before the proverbial bubble actually bursts. They think (know) they can grab a quick buck but they overexert themselves due to lack of knowledge of the demographic as a whole and end up having to liquidate most, if not all, stock as a result. So it's like the bubble is bursting for retailers, but not the industry as a whole. Hot Topic comes to mind in this example. They likely view it as a fad instead of a sustainable form of revenue.

To be clear, Hot Topic was a great source for extremely hard to find imports over 20 years ago. I can't speak for their vinyl game since then but to say that they are somehow just now getting into the market is at best ignorant. At least then, they had knowledgeable and connected buyers on staff.

True, I’ll have to plead recency ignorance as I only recall them selling off their stock for $5 a pop (and something I greatly benefited from). They just do a handful of exclusives now.

Having popped into HT a bunch as a kid, I don’t ever recall seeing music there, just music-related garb. Could’ve been that I wasn’t part of whatever scene they were pushing.

I think people started more hobbies while in quarantine and vinyl collecting was something that seemed cool. Online ordering is something I definitely did quite a bit. No choice really lol...

Walmart selling records seems a no-brainer to me. I've seen records being sold at Dillard's sitting right next to Crosley's.

Of course all the records I see are the same everywhere. Jimi, Beatles, Floyd, Jackson, Zeppelin, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Kendrick Lamarr lol

They way I see it, the more exclusives the better. I love records but I also love the novelty of record collecting. Love different variants, my only gripe with anything is the increased cost of vinyl lately and 15 variants of the same record when some records aren't even getting pressed.

There's still not enough Black Pumas out there. They need enough variants for every person on the planet to get a copy of.

I look forward to 20 years down the road to see which variants become dollar bin gems
