Read the description on this one it says this is 1 of 10 that were made available to the first 10 members of the ten club. It's says these were personalized with the name of the ten club member. This is the 2nd time this item has been posted and the 1st time they posted you could see the name "Doyle" written in the white box, but in this 2nd run of this listing that picture has been deleted. 

 I never heard of this before...Is this legit?

    Great asking price (for something you got for FREE, as a PERSONALIZED GIFT from PEARL JAM for their PJ20 ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS). Good job.

    I assume the seller or whoever received the BoxSet from the 10c (if it's not the same person), is also one of the 1st 10 people that joined the "flipping club" back in the early 90’s.

    If I had one of those and someone was willing to give me several grand for it, I'd think hard about selling it, too.

    Could be all sorts of reasons why someone needs 3 grand.  Guessing if they are one of the first 10c members that they have much love for the band.
    Don't be so presumptuous
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    True, when our family Dog got sick he needed an emergency surgery and a week stay at the vets. That was NOT a cheap ride. If I had one of the Box sets I would have likely/probably considered selling it to cover the costs. You just never know what a person is having to go through.

    Having said that, if it was a Rome poster that was listed, he's just a flipper.

    We never know what people are going through.  Might want to pass some good energy their way instead of riding the judgmental express.  Kindness goes so much further and is far more appreciated.

    as a second note, If this IS the original owner than I think he has passed the sniff test and has held on to this item long enough to avoid being labeled a flipper. How he's kept it sealed this entire time is the real question.

    If it is the second owner of this set I am sure they paid a pretty price to obtain it so not really a flipper either.

    For the record, I don't even care how the person is using the money. If you're staring at one box set of records and can turn that into a really nice audio setup, that's pretty appealing.

    Super fun set to have, play it all the time.  Can't believe people are willing to pay more than $100 for it.  I think that is what it cost back in the day with shipping and handling.  But people got money to burn I guess.

    So.....a Benaroya vinyl set was sitting in a warehouse for about 7-8 years.  Someone took a marker to it and wrote in someone's first name......and it supposed to be worth more than the average set?  Makes no sense to me.

    Their choice i guess.  Its pretty amazing to have a personalized Benaroya.  

    Who’s to say they dont have medical bills or money issues?  Idk. 

    Their last name or a low number or a high number or a “pop up” written on it should have no bearing on price tho.  There’s obviously more than 2000 of these.  I think that’s been obvious for years

    This.  If someone wants to give me thousands for $75 worth of vinyl then I’m a seller.
