    can the seller get away with that sort of thing ?

    the seller can get away with that because he's not virgin records, after virgin records gave the promo item away the new owner can do whatever he wants with the promo item.

    first and foremost , thats a terrible thing that happened to you, and i m sorry to read that.

    But with all due respect , is the 10 C really responsible for this ?

    Id think maybe the promotional / management department of pearl jam

    is an alltogether different entity unto itself from the fanclub ,

    i could be totally wrong here but surely they could point you in the right direction.

    If I am wrong and they are the ones fielding these type of complaints,

    I'm not saying that the Ten Club is responsible for this, I was just letting them know that an amazing idea can turn into a shitty one when you have shady record store owners trying to make a buck.

    I think 10c and PJ management are under the same roof in that warehouse. While separate organizations, they are probably not so separate and when letters arrive to either one, meant for the other. They probably get to the right person if the person receiving it isn't the right person. I have found that if something I send to 10c is outside their scope, they quickly direct me to the right organization. For example, I ordered one boot but received a different one. 10c quickly directed me to Kufala who was very responsive. So I think your e-mail will find itself in the right hands. Can't guarantee what will be done about it.

    Yeah, I set my twitter to mobile alerts for the PJ thing hoping to get lucky, but my local store never put one up. If there really were 200 of these, I'm pretty sure I only saw about 20-30 of them on the twitter thing, so there's a lot of places out there that didn't do what they were supposed to.
