lol, i asked this in the metal thread, did anyone ever actually pay for those albums? i just ghosted them and never answered their letters, they went away after a while. i was 14yrs old. they werent going to sue me. i didnt even use my actual name and they still sent the albums.
i think youre adding bidenflation
the thing with that was you got all the albums you would ever want from them for the penny/dollar. so when you got the pay for album of the month or whatever.( i got Phil Collins No Jacket Required) there wasnt shit to choose from. BTW i had Raven's Stay Hard album which had a great track on it called "on and on"I did. I read all the fine print and decided it was a good deal. The cost after the initial penny was still less than I would have had to pay in the record store. I had asked my parents what they thought and they were impressed that I'd read all the fine print so they approved.
Now, where I fucked up is that I underestimated how little I liked music. Halfway through the commitment I'd slap run out of albums that interested me. But I knew exactly what I was getting into and I kept my word. I remember I got something from a band called Raven because the album was named Life's a Bitch. That one song was decent but the rest was garbage. "Life's a bitch ... when it's got you by the balls. Life's a bitch ... when you feel the squeeze" It never even occurred to me to just stop because even as a pre-teen I had integrity.
It was a penny taped to the reply card when I was a kid. But maybe lenardo is old as fuck and had to buy LPs or 8 tracks.
columbia house had a get 8 or 10 for the price of 1 offer and every couple of months would have either 1/2 price sale or buy 1 get 2 free. in the end, would be under $1 each. i did it over and over and at that time could trade cds for $5, so would pay for itself.
lol, i did that, but not for money, i just traded for other metal albums. i think i found somebody to take my Hagar: Standing Hampton and Rush: Grace Under Pressure for a Cinderella Night Songs. i still think i got the best end of that deal.
they had a limited list so we all probably got some of the same things.
