New Ear Buds Presale... Really?

[ParrotHead67]

I have been a defender of Jimmy on here ever since I joined whether it be ticket prices, his recent song writing and albums, merchandise etc and I will continue to be a supporter. I see his latest product he is selling is ear buds which I have no problem with. However, do we really need a presale for this??? Does anyone on here really need them so bad we can't wait for them to be released the regular way? I'm guessing it's a marketing thing. I don't know why but it's a little disappointing to me but that's just my opinion. I've always said he deserves to do everything anyway he wants and when he wants.

How much do they cost?

Here's link to Margaritaville Audio page...

http://margaritavilleaudio.com/

Look to be standard MTX headphones/earbuds, with some custom colors and logo. "On sale" for $199 for headphones and $99 for ear buds; which happens to be the same pricing for the stock MTX products on their website here:

These are available now, and look to come with a better carrying case. As I said, they look to be exactly the same.

Didn't realize there was a margaritavilleaudio.

Nor did I, until I went to Margaritaville.com and saw a link on the page.

think my Bose are probably superior... I guess I could put a sticker on the side though..

This should be the biggest thing I have to worry about in life.

I wonder how the earbuds sound. I could use a decent set. I don't know anything about MTX Audio products. For $100, they better sound great and last a long time.

What color are you going to get?

My price limit for ear buds is about $9.99. When I find some that sound great, I pick up a couple extra and I'm good for years. But knock yourself out, Margaritaville Audio. Maybe you can steal some Beats customers.

Havana banana for me

HA! I'm just browsing...

(of course, I said that just before I bought my truck, too...)

It seems the Mville merchandizing is going the Bob Marley route with everything. Which isn't a bad thing - considering all the terrible things that happen in the world...

Best item I ever bought - Mville tailgating grill. Anywhere I go with that thing people come and talk to me.

Fins up - one love

Going? Buffett went that way a very long time ago but as you noted, he's not alone. Merch sales are probably more important in this day and age where people can download music for free if they so choose.

And now, folks —— Heeeeeeeeeere's TIKI!!

...and what exactly is it that you have an issue with this time? Am I not allowed to comment, even when it's favorable?

So Tiki's posts might be a little exhausting at times, but you're just a dick.

Of course you're allowed to comment, Tiki.  And of course you got your little back-handed dig in about Jimmy being a sellout again.

I was just making a little joke about the fact there are certain topics that you just can't stay away from.  They are to you what catnip is to a cat.  In fact, we could set our watches by it.

And your response is predictable; Pavlov's dogs have nothing on you.  Your reply above is a perfect example.  I posted, and inside of five minutes you were responding.

He gave an honest opinion and is entitled to it. There isn't a lot of love between me and tiki, but at the same time you have no right provoking a fight. He made a great point that I completely agree with regarding the ear buds.
