The seller here is absolutely right not to name a price on the Benny....the number is a very special one...so i can see why its an open to offers scenario....would ebay be more appropriate? I'm not sure, but this gives those here with a serious intention to have this a chance.....the right offer goes in its yours.

If it was your run of a mill benny set then sure a price would be better, but how on earth do you place a value on Mikes personal copy?

it's easy... you type in a number and click submit

no one HAS to name a price on anything... I guess it's just us old school people are used to this sort of practice being frowned upon on this board

and it's not like mike took this home and then made sweet love to it... they put his initials on it... i understand the rarity of it... but

you clearly dont....

personally i think this may have to go to ebay for its full value to be determined,

but i say fair play to the OP here for inviting offers first, he may have been struck by a crazy offer...so why not try it first?

i didn't realize you were the vinyl value expert... now I know to come to you... thanks


what do you think is a crazy offer? say someone offered him $5,000 on this board....are you telling me his next thought wouldn't be "wow... maybe someone on ebay will offer over $5,000???"

which is my point of needing a price on this board.... if you're looking for the most money then ebay is your place... if you want to set up a bidding war in which bidders have no idea who they're bidding against... then do it here

but if someone is willing to spend $2k on this... there's no way they'll offer $2k right off the bat... especially if they think they could get it for $1k?


anyway... I have nothing against people selling things for the most they can get... i just have a thing against making the board psuedo ebay

Im not trying to make it ebay here.
yes im trying to get a certain amount for it. Pretty much I just want what I paid for it.
I just thought someone here may want it.
If I dont sell it here, I may go to ebay.

The main reason I didnt post a price is because I dont want to get a ration on shit from people telling me how im over charging and trying to screw the "true" vinyl lovers.

I guess im not a "true" vinyl lover cause this one is still sealed.

theserialthrilla

your both making good points for and against this tread being posted..

i agree he should not put a price up.

but i also agree i dont think mike held this for more then 30 seconds if at all..

but that does not take away from the fact it is mikes copy..

i also agree he did the good deed by coming in here first..i got mine in this manner and im very greatfull for it.and the 10c member for doing so

but then maybe this should go to ebay and he might get $1200 or bit more, the max i fell its worth(benny is not that rare ,even if this is a bands member copy)

and lastly paul is normally always stop on with his value of items and yes i would say hes a expert in most items pearl jam..

no need to get all pissy about it...

Im no vinyl expert but i understand the collecting world and how people see things when they want them...

so if someone saw this and thought thats a great item i must have it, they would be likely to offer their best offer for fear of losing it in the meantime.....these things happen and if this item is important to someone they will go for the kill as they may not get the chance to up their offer? so would they lowball first like you say in the hope of getting it for less than they wanted to? I doubt it strongly.

If someone offered him 5k I'm sure he'd take it in a heartbeat? would be stupid not to. Ebay only works if you have another person also willing to pay 5k, and then you have the fees to consider, which again makes coming here first make more sense. He pays his fees, why the hell shouldnt he offer it up?

I understand what you are saying dont get me wrong, but its all a matter of opinion, but as a collector, this thing has a great value in the number it holds, these things arent seen too often - for example you dont see many Klausens numbered 1-5. Its a copy made for the band. That holds value, I dont think whatever Mike did with it has much influence over that, even if he played it.....the fact is it was Mikes, and its his box, made for him. that right there makes it even more of a collectors item.

anyway, again i see your point and many hold the same view, i just think certian items like this are exceptional and therefore are hard to put a price on.....sometimes its better to just throw it out there and see what your items attracts offers of

with no price listed i don't fully see the "good deed" side of things...

true there are many "hookups" that happen... where one 10c member helps out another... i've luckily been on the receiving end of one of those

but sometimes I feel like the board is just being used for the captive audience and the lack of ebay fees


and sometimes i just like to argue

It's a fair point. But lets call it a debate

for me personally, i find it amusing that there's no price. you want to get at least what you paid for it but you won't say what you paid for it. which means you are hoping someone will offer a lot more than what you paid. i would say to go to ebay to try to get the most for it , but ebay doesn't guarantee you'll get more, all it does is open it up to a wider viewing audience.
