What's the point in a giveaway if it comes with conditions attached? Ones that are not even stated.

I see the guys point entirely. It's a bizarre thing to do as after all why did it even matter to D anymore?

But opening it here was not the thing to do. A Pm would have worked - even if there was no reply.

I agree with both points here.

Also a shame that it had to go public, things like this should stay private.

If the item was given away for free, why would you care? I've given away dozens & dozens of Pearl Jam items for many, many year's (not just 3 year's here), and I've seen the items by those users sold on eBay, traded, sold here on the boards etc.. Once it leaves my hands & is given to somebody else, they can do what they wish. What they want to do. I've made them happy from the start, now they can do what they please with the item.

Don't worry about it B. Someday you'll receive your holy grail.

I think the whole incident with all parties concerned leaves a bit of a sour taste. Its a real shame what has happened here; there's no winner from all this.

Sorry to hear all this happened... I agree with you that Dimitris, while usually a very easy-going and generous soul around here, was out of line in this particular situation. I personally would not trade something I was gifted, but that's my own decision - not someone else's to make on my behalf, or to influence my decision on the matter. I also would not have a problem with someone trading something I gave them as a gift - as long as both parties receive something they love, I think that's great!

Hmm, pretty quiet here....

Guy has 40,000 posts, but oddly enough.. he's not in this one!

Whispering hands... it's cool, I know you don't want to make him look bad, but you know what's up.

Enjoy Binaural.


Oh... and it went public, because I was absolutely beyond angry about this.

Many of you know that Binaural on vinyl is the ONE single PJ item I wanted dearly. I have been trying since 2008 to find one for a trade, or a good price since I don't have much $ to spend.

I even went to Dimtri's last year asking him to keep a look out for me.... so he was aware of it.

And yesterday, he decided to not let me have it, he saw the trade was taken to private messages, and because he is on here all the time, he saw the thread... and HAD to react immediately.
