Ah yes: the old #ColumbiaHouse mail-order record club. Sure, it enabled me to get that Grand Funk album I'd been hankering for since first hearing "We're An American Band". But then . . . I'd have to buy a bunch of lesser, rando picks (maybe The Guess Who? or BTO? Perhaps a later Sweet rec?) - paying full list price for the privilege. I'd come up short every time.

I would just get their first deal for 13 CDS for a penny (or something like that), then never pay them. They keep sending CDs and I keep not paying them. Eventually they stop. Terrible business model. 😅

@jacklaridian I never had the balls to do this! Always worried the collectors might one day come to our door, and then I'd have to answer to my angry/disappointed parents :(

@mrowster
See, I thought about that too. But if you think about it, they never really had any power to collect. I was a minor. They didn't care. I paid them with a money order. No paper trail there. They never got my SSN, just an address. They aren't going to waste the money tracking me down in person. It was the perfect crime. 😎
