I love how folks are freaking out over a $350 sticker price for the entire box set when Binaural alone was going for $300 yesterday. I think the price is fair and pretty much what anyone would expect for a complete Box Set these days. The Tragically Hip Box Set is going for $500 if that's more to your liking.
So wanted to pick that up but will have to pass now. Too many new PJ goodies to pick up for this archivist.

Some are freaking out yes. It's just that as this is an American website driven by American business the currency exchange rate is often forgotten when considering others (to add to this, case in point is in this months 10c newsletter prize to be won - how many non-Americans will enter this contest?). This is a nice boxset no doubt but to others not living in America the reissues of certain albums are a nice nod to the fans. I for one am very happy that certain albums are now available at face value via the shop. The shipping is what it is - I would rather pay the shipping via 10c knowing it gets delivered w/out a random unknown customs charge.

People paying $300 for a record, may or may not be the same people paying a $800 for concert posters ..... either way they're both warped, or maybe they're just ahead of the curve...... I think it's the former.

Point being, this record could only be had for $300 (approximately) yesterday, brand new. Now, they are letting you buy it for $25. They coulda just said if you want one, buy it off eBay.

I wanted this but waited to ask the wife. 500 is like the damn Nintendo Classic. Boo on execution.
I'm more excited for the Super NES Classic coming out on Sept 29th. Nintendo said production will be greater then the NES Classic Mini's. We'll see.
Had an empty box in cart. Couldn't pull the trigger when the shipping was close to the same price as the box. How much does the empty box weigh? It costed me $67.48 via UPS on purchasing the complete box set with records. 19 pounds! Shocked the postage was $43.99 (Standard International Shipping)
or $44.17 (UPS Standard)
to ship an empty box to Atlantic Canada. :(
So a little confused. Buying this as someone showed on this or another thread today said CC charged close to shipping...

Preface: This is not a dig on anyone who ordered the empty box.
I just thought this was funny.
It is such a Pearl Jam thing to do to sell a literally empty box for $45 and its also such a Pearl Jam fan base thing to do to then have said empty box sell out.

It depends on the merchant what amount is charged for a pre-authorization. Pending authorizations will drop off and not post to your account, though.
what is weird is 2 things has to do with ten vinyl..1st u cant add it to the card at the order, of binaural-riot act etc ..i order ten speperate than the rest..,i think when i tried said can put it with presale orders. and 2nd at description says OG release
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
The $45 empty box sold out - that's hilarious. Shipping likely pushes it to $60 - unbelievable
with shipping to greece the cost was 90$
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
i actually was going to buy the empty box.... didnt realize a pre-order was going to sell out
i read that alot is social media..maybe would be a good idea to restock..alot want it

10 am on the 10th like clockwork we know that something is going to post on here... That being said 10C has some things that were "limited" and haven't sold out yet like those messenger bags and backpacks so maybe they want things to sell.
Man I now have to wonder, with this box set coming out for "all" their studio albums, plus the book that was released recently with lyrics to "all' their albums, I am really starting to think they are done putting out new music together. Its really starting to look like it. :(

I think the price is fair and pretty much what anyone would expect for a complete Box Set these days. The Tragically Hip Box Set is going for $500 if that's more to your liking.
This criticism doesn't make any sense. Regardless what Binaural was selling for last week, it's $25 today. Unless the boxset contains an original pressing of the album, there's no comparison there.
For The Tragically Hip boxset, people are just as pissed with the pricing. You're not going to see people complaining about it here, as this is a Pearl Jam forum. Vinyl boxsets in general tend to be over priced. Thankfully, the non-limited edition sets are aways available on sale at some point. I can pretty much guarantee the Hip boxset will be available for $350 Canadian at some point next year, as long as Gord doesn't pass away (which will cause the price to skyrocket).
i actually was going to buy the empty box.... didnt realize a pre-order was going to sell out
Same here. Anyone have any word on whether the empty box will get restocked or not? I know the Complete Vinyl Box Set was a limited edition of 500 (said so right on the page), but I wasn't thinking the empty box was limited. At least not limited enough to sell out so quickly.

I think they will add more, hopefully, a pre-sale (not limited edition item) sold out in less than a day, doesn't make sense...

Maybe they took the empty boxes "out of stock" so they can make some more complete box sets. Then this new edition can be sold as the "ultra box set edition" for $500. I don't know if I'm joking or not...

I don't think that is a fair comparison. The OP will always hold more collector value. You won't see them go for $300 anymore, but maybe half that as a collector item. But with all the rumors and anticipation of this release I'm glad I sold my orange bootleg one a couple months ago. Never meant to buy it, my wife was out of town and visited a record store and was so excited when she saw Binaural because she knew that was my only gap. She didn't know about bootlegs so she coughed up the $90 for it. I didn't have the heart to tell her when she gave it to me because she was so proud of herself. But that didn't stop me from selling it for exactly what she paid a few months later. Those will now be completely useless.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if more of the full box set popped up again, like with the Deluxe Potato Heads. Do a volume 2 #1-500 again of the exact same thine. Especially wont be surprised if it turns out there is no difference from the box set vs the a la mode vinyls.
