thank you.....What about the music......the music......so is it just rareity or top shelf work from them?
Im thinking its a "I have it and you dont" its so rare thing.....that makes me a bigger fan then you thing......nobody seems to talk to the music on it much.
I guess my copy of Benny coming isnt special because its just merely a CD....Am I gonna feel that this is some of the best from PJ.......or its just pretty good....but if it was a CD that only 2000 were made...that makes it great?
Personally, I think it's up there with their top 3 shows. I haven't heard ALL the shows but of the ones I have, this is their best. Mostly acoustic, it might not hit you the first time but it will. don't worry, the CD is exactly the same as the vinyl musically. It's the collector status that makes the vinyl so special.
On another note: I don't think it's wrong to sell PJ items that you already have. I don't sell my stuff personally, but I have bought stuff secondhand so for me the buyer, it is good. I bought my Benny Hall vinyl off ebay and if it wasn't allowed or no one did it, I wouldn't have one. If something goes up in value after you buy it, it's not your fault. It's not like you have to will all your PJ stuff to your kids in fear of getting in trouble with the 10c. It was said before, this is America and you should be free to do what you want legally. Selling stuff isn't illegal (well, most stuff) so enough said.
don't forget those of us fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to experience PJ live at Benaroya Hall,...then again, it could be argued that if one was lucky enough to see PJ live at Benaroya Hall does one really deserve the Benaroya vinyl as well?!
YES!!! It was such an amazing night. Even in the 3rd level side balcony. I too have the vinyl (bought it around 5:00am PST). A friend keeps telling me I should sell it because it's worth so much, but there is no way that I can. When I put the records on and listen to them, I'm instantly transported back to that magical night.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't labeled with a "not for resale". Besides I think the "not for resale" applies more to immediate reselling for the soul purpose of making money. I mean if I was going to go hungry or be kicked out onto the street, I really don't think the 10C would ban me for selling it 4 years after I purchased it.
But even so, there were instantly a bunch on eBay, and at the time people were bitching that they were selling for over $100. Also it was limited to 1 per club member, and when they announced it was going to be available, you already had to be a 10C member. So you couldn't have signed up and bought one the same day.
the vinyl went on sale at 12am Pacific. purchased mine from the 10C at 4pm Eastern the day of the sale, 13 hours after the vinyl became available for sale and 15 minutes before the vinyl was out of stock
Thanks for the time clarification, all I remember was wanting to wait and being so exhausted, I had just given birth like a week and a couple of days by that time and I went to bed hoping it would still be on sale when I woke up and it sure was
We tried to for tix for the show and it was good we didn't end up getting them because the week after the tickets went on sale we found out we were preggers

well, it was a midnight seattle time main event! i was pretty suprised though that it was up that long. only 2000 copies printed.
on the other hand, ebay was just 4 years old that time. so the non pj fans, the ones who just wanted to buy stuff and sell so high on the bay didn't take notice of this stuff.
Actually I've been a registered eBay member since December of 1997. About 6 1/2 years before this was made available. Back in the day when you didn't have to prove who you were. You could have multiple accounts. Your user ID was your e-mail address and I never got SPAM. You could leave feedback to anybody even if you didn't have a transaction with each other. But also back then I never got screwed buying or selling. Last year alone, I had to file 4 complaints with eBay/PayPal.
But back to the topic, any rare item isn't instantly worth big bucks (unless it's over-hyped like Posters where they usually come down in price after the initial rush). It takes time. The number of collectors who won't part with it gets higher, and the number of people who would part with it dwindles. Then I think there are more vinyl collectors now. All back to the basic supply and demand. Far more people want this LP and less and less people are willing to part with it. I can see the ITW vinyl in the multiple hundred dollar range in a few years.
It is unfortunate since I think people who want to hear this show on Vinyl should be able to. Even repress it on black vinyl without the cool numbered box. That way the original would still hold some value for people who care and other people could actually have a chance to buy and listen to it.
