Why the ‘Secured’ badge means a lot on Revibed 🎶
What sets us apart from users of Spotify, Bandcamp, or any other music service? It’s simple: we’re diggers. 🤝
I don’t know about you, but I spend most of my free time diving deep into the endless world of music: diggin vinyl, scouring Discogs, crawling through blogs, forums, YouTube, and every other treasure trove for discovering something new and extraordinary. 💿
We’re all here on Revibed because of one killer feature: pre-orders. 🔥 I’m sure most of you already know how it works, but today, I want to break it down a bit more.
Ever wonder what the yellow ‘Secured’ badge 🟡 means?
For example, take a look at this gem:
👉 Rod Taylor – Ethiopian Kings
When you see ‘Secured,’ it means we’ve taken the risk to reserve a copy for you, even though the funding isn’t finished yet. 💰 Yep, we’ve already purchased the vinyl and have it on its way to our studio. 📦
Why? Because vinyl collectors who closely watch Revibed sometimes snipe rare records right out from under us. 🕵️♂️ And as the go-to market indicator for rare vinyl, if our buyers don’t move fast, many projects simply won’t happen.
But here’s the deal: if we secure a record and the pre-order doesn’t succeed, we’re left holding the bag (and the VAT, customs fees, and shipping costs). 📉 For a platform like ours, working with a tight budget, it’s always a risk.
So here’s my ask: if you see the yellow ‘Secured’ badge, please back the project. 🙏 It helps us confidently continue reserving rarities for you. 🌟
Thank you for supporting Revibed and keeping the digger spirit alive!
