I would buy much more if 10C offered it. I would have purchased a few items, not so much the tshirts but the scarves, shot glasses and a set of pilsners would be nice.
It is awesome to see that much PJ merch in one place like that even if it is all bootleg. But it is crazy that they get away with it.
It is awesome to see a lot of Pearl Jam merchandise sold at one spot, for sure. Hell I'll buy one of each item, maybe 2 from every vender there cause I'm a big Pearl Jam collector (and I would), but you gotta draw the line. I don't buy from bootleggers. My money is well spend on original official made products. Money that goes to Pearl Jam & their business associates. Maybe that's me!

I agree completely. It's no different than the few guys that walk around the parking lots before and after shows trying to sell shirts, just on a much larger scale, and I avoid those guys like they're selling bad acid.
But this would be much more tempting with so much to choose from and with it all being as cheap as people are saying it is.

I saw about 30 things that I want!!! 10C should stock all of this stuff, especially with ladies stuff
The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols
I saw Rob's pics on his FB...I love the PJ panties...they're just so funny!
I'm with GiventoLukinKP...I'd buy pens, bracelets, mugs....I only have one very special PJ mug that a board member made. Would love a PJ20 one!
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
holy cow. i just got home from work and watched the video.
this is real? i can't believe how many vendors are set up out in front of the stadium hocking PJ merch with the band and management right there. I have never seen anything like this and wouldn't believe the amount if I didn't see the video. Is there a Mexico Ebay for all the stuff? No way that all sells as the supply is insane where all the vendors probably drive the prices down, competing against each other.
I forgot how I got an email a few years back but I got a PJ shirt from Mexico that is one of my favorite shirts... Saw it in the video.. I would have a field day in there!!
If anyone picked up anything cool from there or has a link on those vendors hit me with a pm!!

hahaha this, for us, is an everyday thing. You won't believe me, but these merch stands are just outside some of the subway stations and in flea markets all over the city.
Paradise? It's all bootlegged stuff man. They are all selling / making profit using someone's image without any official consent. Why is it OK for them to sell these products on the street (especially @ this flea market) but if people here in Canada & USA make / sell a single shirt or poster, all hell breaks loose from Pearl Jam Co? I don't understand.
Why do Stubhub and the big scalpers make millions out of fans while a regular Joe selling a couple of tickets outside a venue in the US will most likely be arrested if caught? In Mexico scalping is illegal so there are not big corporations in the game... but there are scalpers outside the venues as everywhere else. Laws and regulations are really an interesting thing, specially while comparing from country to country. I don't think there is a straight answer to your question
Funny thing is that you see even the artists buying stuff or kindly talking about it: Metallica, Pearl Jam (as PjLuis mentioned), and I even saw the Motley Crue guys buying stuff outside the first time I saw them at the Sports Palace. Maybe they realize this is a local thing that is not hindering their own profits and not worth pursuing.
Mexico is not a healthy country and that's why people prefer buying from this merch stands (they save some money).
I actually believe people ends up spending much more, but of course they get more and cooler products for the same price.
I think they let them (bootleggers) to generate income in the so called informal economy, and not necessarily because people is saving money by buying from them.
Or if CIE is actually behind it, maybe it's on the contract with the bands? LOL
This is paradise for me :shock: I've seen similar shit in Italy but this way bigger and more items.

Because it's Mexico. That's why. Good luck tattling on a bunch of Mexican Vendors.
:shock: WOW... I finally got the chance to watch the video, thanks for posting.
I know it's unethical and the stuff is a bit cheap but I would be all over it!!
I'd love to buy some of that fun merch. Is there such a thing as a Mexican Ebay?

Not that all mech stands are PJ related items.
Cool, can you tell me where that is? I'm staying here until Friday
