Jack White/ThirdMan/THE VAULT

I actually emailed TMR to ask how strict they are about not refunding after you've paid already, lol. I also asked them how intense they are about their little "no flipping" rule. Because I want to flip this thing for sure, but apparently they look for that kind of thing and will cancel your subscription for life if caught. ??? Surely they don't care when someone is selling just because they hate the item...
I'm not soured on the Vault subscription... but this one stings particularly bad, probably because I hold a special kind of hate for country music, and didn't realize that JW would force it upon us.

weird, because part of Jack's selling of the vault was "don't like it? sell it and make some money!". It's not a direct quote, but it's close.

and we haven't paid for this one already, have we?

They won't refund your money. I tried immediately after being charged for the lame Elephant Singles box and was sent to an faq with the no refunds policy.

And be never heard of the no flipping rule with the Vaults. In fact, in the initial Vault announcement they all but encouraged it.

It depends when you have your subscription renewal date in the month. Mine was the end of the month, for times like these... So I can see the release before it renews.

Well now it specifically says in the Vault FAQ that they monitor ebay and tell you not to flip. Just looked it up today.

Don't really expect a refund. Just wondering about the selling thing.

Yeah, I paid for it a week or two ago. My original renewal/payment for it was actually today, but I had to change my card number, so when I did that in March it automatically charged me for #24 as soon as I re-subscribed with the new card.

Mine too. I always thought they charged everyone at once, but a few Vaults ago I realized it wasn't the case. Its actually a good idea to sign up close to the deadline so you can see future Vaults without being billed. My subscription says I'll be charged on 4/10, so I have plenty of time to cancel if I want.

Agreed.

I signed up for my first Vault a few days before it closed, thanks to reading what everyone said here it allowed me to see what was coming up.

I just cancelled my subscription and when I see one I like I will jump in close to the dead line. I would suggest that folks here unsubscribe and jump back in closer to the end date so you have time to make decision.

MedozK

I like it. At least it wasn't an Olivia Jean package.

My payment doesn't get processed until 4/30 so I have time to cancel in case he releases any goodies in the vault shop until then.

RobbyD462

Lame set :(
I will be quiting on April 11!

I have never been quick enough to get any of the limited Vault Novelty releases, even if I'm online when they drop. Crazy how many vultures circle that site all day long.

If I was Third Man I would drop the best limited items during mass cancellation periods like this one. It would also be interesting if they included something awesome in one of these future sub-par releases that wasn't listed. I wouldn't put it past them, especially with their love of releasing limited items.

HughFreakingDillon

Cancelled.

Yeah that was my mistake.

I have to admit, I was paid through the end of April, I thought I was just cancelling the auto-payment and would keep my membership through the month.

Oh well, know for next time now.

Could be a good thing with all these cancellations. With fewer pressed these become more scarce, so when a new collector comes along and wants to back track and acquire all the vaults they have missed... These could be worth more.

But not soon, those wanting to flip theirs immediately will lose money on this one.

hopefully everyone cancels

variety is the spice of life folks

What do you mean? The TMR vault subscription offers variety. I mean, they just announced a Loretta Lynn album. If that's not variety I don't know what is.

I could go for something a little different. Like not the White Stripes or Jack White at all.... someone else who he deems worthy of a cool vault release (and that would mean I've probably never heard of them, lol, but that it would be good). Barring that, I wouldn't mind something related to the Raconteurs.

For #24, it seems like you just got your wish!!

A good example of why you should be careful what you wish for.

Ha! Yeah, no shit!
I didn't realize that JW could go so unbelievably fucking country. I mean, a little Nashville bluesy twang is one thing, but this is ridiculous, lol.

Is it that much of a surprise though? Loretta Lynn and country is heavily featured on TMR. It was only a matter of time before it made a Vault release. That said, I did feel disappointed when I saw the announcement but the last 2 releases were so spectacular that the next release was probably always going to disappoint!
