ViniVault/Starting
Each collector gets their own vault
A shared notebook turns into an argument about who owns what. ViniVault gives each account a private shelf.
Separate shelves stay clear
If two people collect, two accounts keep gifts, wants, and prices from merging. You can still look over a shoulder. You should not share one sign-in and try to remember whose record is whose.
Do not put someone else's records in your vault unless you mean them to count as yours, for value and for 'do I own it?'. A borrowed record that sits on your shelf will look like property, and you may buy a copy you do not need, or insure one you do not own.
A loan is different. If you lend one of your own records, the loan log can say who has it without taking it out of your collection. Their records still belong in their account.
What a private shelf means
Vaults are not browsable by other users. There is no public combined shelf, and there is no profile of your collection on the marketing pages. Someone sees your records only if they are signed in to your account.
Each account has its own free shelf of 100 records, or its own Pro plan at £1.99 a month if that person needs more. You do not share a cap, and you do not share a subscription by living in the same house.
How this works in ViniVault
Each person creates an account and catalogues their own records. Signing in switches you to that vault. Sign out on a shared computer when you are done.
Wants stay on that person's wishlist. A record one of you hopes to buy should not appear as owned on the other's shelf.
Questions
- Can I see another collector's vault?
- Only if you are signed in to that account. Vaults are not browsable by other users.
- Can two people keep one collection?
- Yes, if it really is one collection and you accept one sign-in. If you each own records, use two accounts so the shelves stay clear.
