    who was going to save me a copy of into the wild vinyl....

    who yesterday said..."oh sure no problem we have copies coming in later this week"

    just called me and says....."well we are not getting any copies now...the 10club has sold all the copies on there own website....there were only 2000 copies available.....now they are on ebay for $150".....

    and i say....

    "you my friend are a fucking LIAR"...heheheh

    "I have a feeling you will now be selling YOUR FUCKING COPIES on EBAY.....RIGHT?????"



    he hung up the phone.....hehehehehe

    You're saying he's done something not very professional and that he 'bought' those lps and will be flipping them. Have you proof of this? Or are you just really pissed off because you didn't get a copy when you thought it was a done deal?

    yah if it was reckless i would also be more curious... cause i emailed someone from reckless a couple weeks ago and he said he would try to put in on reserve for me if / when he got copies in... i have always been happy with their services in the past tho

    I think its that retail record stores lying about not having copies so that they can sell them on Ebay for more profit is BS!

    ...though i think I would be pissed if my record store tells me they are reserving me a copy and I count on it and then they lie through their teeth and say they have none just so that they can resell them somewhere else for more.... (again they can do whatever they please with their copies, but I still think its BS)

    im saying yesterday he called me and quoted me a price....$21.99...
    im saying he said the would have 8-10 copies.....
    im saying he said he would gladly save me a copy....

    then today everything changed.....

    all of a sudden they were not getting any copies....
    but he sure knew how much they were selling for on ebay....
    he knew exactly how many albums were being disributed....

    im saying it just doesnt seem right.......

    the only thing i have proof of.....iis that this guy WAS FULL OF SHIT!!!!

    that fact i have proof of.....

    I just got off the phone with my local record store about getting a copy of the ITW vinyl. He said they would be getting it in but the kicker is that they would be selling it for $100. His reasoning was that the vinyl is selling for $150 on e-bay. I think that is complete BS. I don't know why they can't sell it for retail.

    Funny story here:

    Just called my local independant store. Inquired about the ITW vinyl. Asked the girl on the phone, who was actually honest.
    She imediately says "uh" like 5 times, then laughs and tells me that they will be getting them in tomorrow, BUT, the owner wil be taking them immediately when they get in because "they are going for a crazy amount of money right now on Ebay"!!!! No fn lie. She said to come in and see if he's willing to sell me it and at what price!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, I just laughed and said bye.

    Unreal.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    see this a joke, the 10C tries to support local record shops by giving them these LP's and they turn around and try to screw us......10C just could have kept the extra copies and sold them to us and everyone would have been happy....

    I know record stores struggle to make it by but shit this is only going to hurt business IMO :(

    Hopefully the grocery stores don't start doing this with fruit that is out of season :D

    ok....

    so had the 10CLUB informed us from the beginning that this album would be RELEASED NATIONWIDE IN STORES.....

    then there is a good chance that the pearl jam freaks wouldnt have PANICKED and started to pay $150 on ebay for this.....

    right?????

    and we wouldnt be dealing with record stores now selling it to us for $150....

    bleh......

    FUCK THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!

    Or they could have just made enough records so that everyone who wanted one could get one. Like I said in a previous thread, there is a reason you can get a copy of Ten on CD off of ebay for about 5 bucks.

    And the more posts I read the more amused I get. There have been so many times where I have read on this board about how local independent record stores are always great and big chain stores are always bad. It seems in this case that it might not really be true.

    you are being your usual sarcastic self right?

    they DID tell us from the very beginning it would be released in stores... even gave us a date... jan 29th... why people are paying what they are is outrageous... this whole thing is really starting to piss me off... since when did ebay become the gold standard?!? 10C has to step in and do something... theres some serious integrity issues going on here! its not about the vinyl anymore... standards are being made that are gonna eventually apply to and corrupt everything PJ... and its because of the greed of our fellow fans... its disgusting... if things keep going down this path im gonna have to walk away from being a big PJ fan
