    "Put your music where your money is with a Gorilla Vinyl Record Wallet! Each wallet is handcrafted with AUTHENTIC VINYL and housed in a durable lightweight black protective frame, coated with a UV resistant non-yellowing super-polymer & fused to a high quailty black nylon wallet. The LP is cut to fit the wallet's rectangular shape showing the center hole, the track listing, & lots of groovy vinyl. Inside the wallet you'll find plenty of space for cards, cash, & I.D's."

    they chopped up the vinyl cover / record?

    Exactly. McCandless literally burned his money and they're trying to sell us an Into The Wild wallet.

    It's pretty low/sick/greedy.

    Only $250! Pathetic.

    That's the cover of the album, and it's a pic of Ed. Welcome to last year.
    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    This has to be a joke. Are we to beleive there is a factory somewhere, where people have multiple ITW vinyl's that they are "crafting" into wallets? I've never heard of such a crazy thing!!! I call it a fake, imo....
  • so-much-clearerso-much-clearer Posts: 303
    Hmm I doubt it's fake. It's probably being sold by someone who just makes these crafts for fun/profit on the side.

    Record purses have been around for a few years too: http://tinyurl.com/66ps42

    I seriously doubt they used a real ITW vinyl, all it says is "AUTHENTIC VINYL", which means to me just an old record. :)

    Hate to sound like a know-it-all, but it's actually originally a Yield promo foto. Welcome to last decade.

    See? doesn't feel very nice, does it?
    Play nice!

    I noticed that as well...carefully worded, all they really have to reproduce is the image and the sticker, which wouldn't be very hard these days...

    that said, it's still very stupid. I wouldn't buy one of those for $3, let alone $250.

    Yes Exactly! I was just going to mention that too!

    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."

    I started thinking about exactly that after I bought two for $30 a piece, but they are pretty sweet...just need to take real good care of them.

    why ruin the record to charge 250$ for a wallet? He could have turned around and asked 300$ for the vinyl alone... and someone in the land of Ebay would buy it.... such a waste indeed
    cook'em just to see the look on there face

    Hello Pearl Jam Message Pit!

    Gorilla Vinyl has sold zero (0) Into the Wild wallets. Not one.
    We are a new company, the design was posted but
    it was just a concept piece. We cant cut this vinyl!
    The vinyl itself is too rare and too expensive and there
    are no used/unplayable copies. If anyone has a ruined copy;
    please send it our-way so we can make something from it!

    We do use real actual vinyl and do make the TEN wallet.
    We are Pearl Jam Fans (Temple of the Dog/Mother Love Bone/ Into The Wild)
    We use used, recycled, and unplayable vinyl.
    We are not a large corporation.
    We are a very small company and proud partners of the
    WWF World Wildlife Fund. A portion of each sale is donated to the WWF.
    We make products of all sorts of materials including used/reclaimed guitar neck belt buckles
    and skateboard decks.

    GorillaVinyl is a environmentally minded company.
    We listen to vinyl.
    And yes, sometimes its fun to destroy them and put them back together in another form.


    Thank You Pearl Jam for your beautiful music, it has been a constant soulful companion!
