    buy as many as you are allowed to buy.....

    and what you do with them is nobodys business but your own.........

    exactly.

    it's a free market, people. who cares what everyone on here gets riled up about? so long as you're not flipping items that the 10c explicitly says are not for resale, who gives a shit?

    you should go buy all the whoppers before we all get to LA, then sell them to us for 2x what you paid...

    my real purpose to see so many EV shows is I love EV and the music he makes. that doesnt mean that I love every song without question, i do have a mind of my own and am allowed to make up my own opinion. Im not sheep like most of the people here and just love everything unconditionally. and as far as the zippos, i can buy as many as they will let me, im just operating within the rules. im not stealing them, or aquiring them in an illegal way, im purchasing them just like everyone else.

    ok, so your a hard core longtime loyal fan

    now i get it?

    I would just like one for myself that's all I'm saying. Like many of us just want one. So maybe only go for a couple at the next shows? Your pretty well set already. But do what you like that is your right.

    Suffering from multiple personality disorder are you?

    One per customer.

    Are you one customer or more?

    Ahhh...Bet you're cool. Whatever.

    Why did you come on here asking????

    PS--Didn't bother to look at your photo.

    "Ohhh...Cool dude ...oh I mean greedy fuck...has a lot of lighters" is what I suppose the caption should read though...

    so whats your take on zippo flipping?? is it just illegal as poster flipping? are people gonna freak out when I put my 10 zippos (i have so far) on ebay?

    i wonder how many more i can get in the next 7 shows

    hahahahahahahahahaha. :D




    ummmm.....'illegal'..........? selling posters isn't 'illegal'.......even if you bought em thru the 10c with the 'not for resale' blurb, it still wouldn't be illegal. posters have ALWAYS been up for sale aftermarket. basically, if it's for sale at a show...it's your right to do with it what you wish after purchase, including selling it.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    He came on here and asked what we...the PJ community... think.

    Many of us are going to the shows (and traveling across the country) and he's inconsiderate if he buys 28 lighters at a given show keeping 27 of us from scoring the ones we want.

    Only a given number are slated for a given show.

    He can do what he wants.

    Obviously he came on here to fight.

    He's cool......

    He can buy lighters.

    Dude...

    Have you not seen the thread of people who are really wanting these lighters?


    http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=280046

    You don't think people on here are going to think you suck if I (for example) get to the table in LA and they tell me that the stand opened 15 minutes ago and now there are none left... You don't think I'll think you SUCK if that evening you bought up 15 of them to flip?

    Your thread sucks.

    Keep your flipping quiet.

    Why would you come on here and brag that you are basically fucking your community over [which you would be doing if people like me ended up having to buy yours (not that I would...I'd do without.)] There is without a doubt a limited #. Please...if you have to be greedy hog... Don't come on here and brag about it.

    Shush!

    So wait a second. If someone wants one of these lighters, and also doesn't want to pay full price for it, doesn't that make them greedy too? I mean the way I look at it those people want something, but they also want to keep as much of their money as possible too.

    He obviously posted it to bait you guys... you did exactly what he thought you do: most of you went apeshit on him. If you guys don't like the fact that people flip stuff, it's simple: don't buy it from them. If he wants to lay out $600 straight cash for 20 zippos, let him. If you have a problem with him buying multiple lighters at shows, take it up with the people running the merch table. I've been shut out on posters at many, many shows myself... yeah, it sucks for about 5 minutes and then I get over it because I figure it ain't worth getting all bent out of shape over. So the OP doesn't like Arc and he's buying lighters for friends and to offset some travel costs... big fuckin' deal. Plus, I have a feeling that these lighters are going to be available through the 10C with some proceeds going to Surfrider or something...

    Having said that, who wants a mint '98 Toronto poster? Bidding starts at $300. :D

    Wow....you know what? You are a cool guy after all. How considerate you are for wanting to do such a noble thing.

    Who doesn't want to pay full price?

    Those are people willing to pay "full price" they just can't get to the show...It would be nice if "Mr. 248 lighters in a box" wanted to sell a few for what he paid for them.

    My friends and I will be at the shows in SB, LA and SD.

    I hope those of us who want a lighter can get one.

    That's what I'm saying.

    Don't worry schmo.

    You won't be selling me anything for $130.

    Sounds fair! Go for it! Or better yet, why not just let people buy them for themselves, I mean, that is why they are selling them at the concerts, right?

    By full price I meant the going rate. If people don't want to pay that they are greedy too because they want to be able to get a lighter and they want to be able to keep as much of their money as possible and still get it.

    Why does it make a difference that they are PJ products? What about people who flip houses? What about the grocery store that sells banannas for more than they bought them for? Why are PJ products so special?

    I know I won't be needing your zippo, dude. Not to worry.

    I don't think there should be a probelm trading them though, I would like a zippo and one of the hats, i would trade 1 or 2 of my posters for that combo.

    Why would you come on here looking for opinions and then act like an ass when people tell you what they think?

    That is immature and annoying...and to me SCREAMS...LOSER!
