Thinking of Trading my Into The Wild Vinyl . . .

So money is really tight right now for me, as I'm sure it is for a lot of you. Now I know that I could turn around and sell my opened yet mint condition ITW vinyl (it was purchased at a local indie music store, and I've listened to it on a Technics 1200 turntable a few times) on ebay for a fair amount of cash, but I think I'd rather trade it to someone for something that I would purchase for myself if I had the funds.

So, what I'm thinking is that I want to trade it for a new Super Deluxe Ten boxset. I love the ITW album, but I would get more enjoyment out of the Super Deluxe box set. If anyone would be interested in purchasing one and then doing the trade with me, hit me up with PM.

If I get multiple people interested, then whoever can throw in something extra (posters, concert T's, etc) that gets my interest the most will get the trade. And I'm not saying it has to be something highly collectible like a Boragta poster or one of the LA Lakers T''s (though those would obviously be welcome), just whoever offers something interesting that I would normally purchase for myself if I had the spare cash.

  • Wow, less than an hour and I've already got some trade offers, and more than a few pm's callingm e crazy. A couple have even said I should just sell the ITW vinyl, buy the box set and pocket the extra cash. Though that would make financial sense, it doesn't quite sit right with me, here is one of the responses I sent in reply to that suggestion, just to give everyone an idea of my train of thought.
    I'm well aware of the descrepancy in the "market" value between the two, however I only paid $20 for the album, so getting a $140 box set for it (plus potentially a poster or something) is already enough of a profit for my liking.

    Personally, although I do appreciate collecting various things, I also appreciate listening to and enjoying those things as much as possible. I own ITW on CD and listen to it whenever I want, the boxset will have extra sentimental value for me since that album is what got me to love Pearl Jam and helped get me through many tough times. Plus there are extra's in the boxset that I will also thoroughly enjoy, like the Drop in the Park Vinyl and the DVD. So if I can provide something that someone else will enjoy just as much as I'll enjoy the boxset, then to me that is a very good trade.

    I appreciate your concern though.

    With that said, and along the same line of thought in the message, I'm making an ammendment to the trade request. Don't worry about offering a poster or collectable T-Shirt, instead what I'd be more interested in being included with the boxset is the CD release of both Chicago Shows this year, again since I was at both of those shows and unfortunately can not afford to buy them at this point in time.

    So that's it, whoever is interested in sending me a Super Delux Boxset and the CD release of the two Chicago shows, send me a PM.

  • Thanks for all the offers. A PM has been sent to the first individual who offered to include both Chicago bootlegs.

    If for some reason the trade falls through, I will contact the others who made offers to see if they are still interested.
