I do not care much about the fans dumb enough to buy this to get mad about this.

Apparently it was limited to 500 sales so I do struggle to care. If I thought I could make nearly half a million dollars on 500 idiots that clearly have more money than they need I would probably do it too.

clearly have more money than they need

Americans are $1.5 trillion in debt and counting. Klarna and afterpaying for groceries, taking out loans and racking up credit cards. I know plenty of broke people who still spend like there's no tomorrow.

Sentiment is still the same. If you’re in debt but still have enough credit for the $1,000 purchase to even go through, and you decide to do that, I struggle to care.

We're in agreement on that one. I'm just saying for people who see those on social media flexing, they're not these ballers going ham throwing money around. They're barely above min wage and maxing out cards so they can look the part. Either way it doesn't affect my bank account, I don't care

Some of em probably are ballers with a bunch of money to throw around. Who cares. Hope the box makes em happy, bet it don’t.

Also was it not listed in the product description that it was just the box you were getting?

It is or was. "No Vinyls Included"

Honestly if someone’s so obsessed and dumb enough to fall for it, it’s kind of on them when it’s that obvious.

I don't get the outrage. You're not forced to buy the box.

"How dare she! I'm too impulsive to not buy this, she's taking advantage of my lack of impulse control!"

bizarre assumption

I do because I have empathy and a sense of fairness, and I don't believe stupid people deserve to be ripped off and exploited.

u/spinosaurs70 Sep 06 '26

The pre-order explicitly mentions vinyls are not included.

u/whatsbobgonnado Sep 06 '26

I don't give a shit. the fact that she's selling it at that price period is the issue
