Happy new year! And thank you to each and every one of you... We have news to share.
---
We started this site 4 months ago. Wow!
When we first started, we would celebrate each and every sale, no matter how big or small. Literally. Like literal celebrations. (We're a husband and wife team for those who haven't read the FAQ: https://fivebuckbin.com/a/faq).
Months in, we still pay very close attention to the sales (how else will we know what works and what doesn't?) but now we make bets as to which one of regulars got in on the genre of their liking.
Regulars. We have regulars! Crazy.
From Rambo (yes, really) to Ronald to Jessica who just placed her first order (hi!) with us... we appreciate you all. There are literally thousands of you.
When the site launched, we had no social proof.
We didn't have much to say other than give us a chance. And people did. Then something happened. We got big. And we got noticed.
Largely by what I would call traditional "record people".
And those people scoffed. Where's the hard-to-find stuff?
We didn't build Five Buck Bin for that kind of person.
Through all of you, we have come to understand what we built -- the record store for everyone else. *
* Fast forward to today and we accommodate everyone with the wall (https://fivebuckbin.com/collections/the-wall) and that-record-shouldnt-be-5-bucks drops.
And with all that in mind... you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Starting tomorrow, we will be making announcements of things to come. Sneak peek? Ok!
You'll be getting to know a bit more about myself, Ed, and my wife, Cheri. You'll be seeing more of us. Interacting with us. And maybe even buying stuff, live... But for now, we'll leave you with this picture of the two of us.
And that's just the beginning. And yes, everything else will stay exactly as it is as we bolt on new offerings!
We hope you'll all stick around. We'll bring the tunes.
