Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

[spilledleche]

Starting to think they’re a front for something

 

[Hemotep]

I think that vinyl margins are just wayyyy higher than current prices would lead many to believe.

 

[siremobunny]

That point where I ask myself ..do I really neeeeeed more Bandbox credit?

 

[salvaam]

these are sent as gift cards, right? you can basically get albums for $6-8 if you wait for their 50% off/BOGO sales...

Pretty sure that's how it works

 

[TrainFan73]

O mean they’re regular prices are pretty high even by today’s standards. I can’t imagine those books cost that much to produce. I bet they sell 25% of their stock at full price which probably breaks them even. You fine deal scoping folks are just the cherry on the icing.

Yup, discounted gift cards. Though I am not sure if you can use credits with a coupon code

I was able to last month.

 

[siremobunny]

I have been able to use coupon and discounted album deals along with the gift card they issued us to buy us out of our subs

Good to hear. Still not going to buy anything more from them until I get my Luna records which are now about 4 months late

That's more than fair, I just wanted that OAR box and it was a lot cheaper to get it from them than off the band website.

I will probably buy things from them in the future, I will just probably not go the pre-order route.

I just told @MikeH I’m done once my bandbux are up, but if you want that OAR box, now is the time. Sign up for text codes to get 20% off, bringing the price down to $136. Pay $80 for $200 in bandbux. Have $64ish left for whatever else you want to buy. That’s at least 2 albums with the sales we get, if not more. So you get the box + 2-4 albums for $80.

Must have come back. It was sold out recently.

it was sold out when they had one of their huge 50% off sales or something but then came back into stock.

“Why let people buy it at 50% off when we can sell it to them for even less!”
