Hello soulstrut amigos,

So, I'm working on creating a new music, vinyl, and DJ culture site + app that allows teh people to do teh following:

-Research the historical prices of used records
-Buy/Sell used records
-Catalogue your collectron, and aggregate the approximate cash value of said collectron
-Allow users the ability to generate profiles and IDs that allows for IMing to link buyers and sellers
-Look up records by genre/label/artist/etc.
-Provide independent artists a platform to create a visual store front within Vynylyst (TM) that allows them to sell their shit

I intend to bankroll this initiative, and my balleur lifestyle via Kickstarter by asking for a modest $652,000; as well as through investors; friends; pretty much anyone who will listen.

I will make cash and turn a profit within 1 year by:
-implementing a subscription-based system
-manufacturing record crates in China for 12s", 10s" and 45s", then sell at crazy prices
-manufacture slipmaps, 45 adapters, and other shit in China, then sell at crazy prices
-take a 25% cut from all transactions (from buyers, AND sellers)
-implement a tiered-user system that enables a more robust experience for those who pay more: (tier 3 = $1,000 = buy/sell privileges for 3 years at 10% transactional fee + get a record crate, adapter, and slipmat ...tier 2 = $600 for 2 years + adapter and slipmat...tier 1 = $400 for 1 year + slipmat)
-charge $9.99 for the app
-Google ads
-corporate sponsorship (Redbull will be ALL over this)

Because you are all community-minded music lovers, collectros, and enthusiasts, I am asking for your support.

Please PM me to send PayPal monies to my account as soon as possible. I will in turn send you some random piece of chud (for your donation of $100 or more); or a quick "thanks" (for $99 or less)

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards.

    Thank you for your thoughtful question.

    I think purple is an interesting hue. My site, however, will be in shades of grey.

    Let it go guys. Don't hate on somebody for trying to do something they are passionate about, it's a bad look on your end. If you don't agree what they're doing ignore it.

    Remember you guys brought him in, he was not soliciting us.

  • your boy got butthurt when faced with constructive criticism and ethered hisself when he started (not) answering questions with unbridled passive aggressiveness. could be a nice guy in real life, but he definitely won't survive in teh intranets.
