Why the heck did you buy the PJ20 vinyl?

    Good question. That's probably the reason I didn't buy it. :lol:

    Because it's the season of flipping. Everyone is buying to trade. Although making every single thing limited is not helping. Let the flippers flip, let the bitchers bitch. The rest of us can just enjoy the music and the joy of getting another vinyl or poster,etq.... to add to our collection. Pearl Jammers unite :D

    That's a silly question - I think you know why.

    I wish the Benaroya Hall vinyl never got released. I thinked that really spawned the whole movement of "Wow, I can make a bunch of money off PJ gear." I know there was other rare items here and there, but that seems to be the birth of the flipping movement.

    I've sold a few things and traded a few things, but mostly due to changing interests, less posters, more vinyl. But never really bought anything just to trade it.

    That said, I ordered two copies of PJ20 vinyl, one for me, one for my Dad. Both will get played.

    I never saw PJ20 vinyl a necessary purchase. Of course die-hards bought it cos they own everything on vinyl but I'd sat there was a good percentage who bought it as trade bait and also hoping that value-wise its the next Benny. I said this as soon as it sold out and got shot down. But it was obvious why it sold out so quickly.

    you know, that closet can easily fund my son's 529 college plan. Let me know if you ever decide to leave the apartment without locking up!

    I bought it because It was a good price. If my order had of gotten cancelled, I would not have gone after it on the secondary market..Got an email saying it should be deliverd today. Guess I got lucky.

    It's definitely one PJ record I could live without if I didn't have it though.

    Seems like it would make a good trivet.

    I kid, I kid!!

    Wanna spin it some day. 2012 is the year I purchase a turntable. Just need to find some space to put it!

    I couldn't agree with this whole movement - going against this desperation to 'collect' shit just to collect, and forgetting that limited releases aside, ebay aside, trading aside, collecting aside........... there's the music.

    pjtaper - come on man! you are one of the lucky 2000 people that will ever get to enjoy that beautiful and memorable concert on vinyl - how can you NOT know where it is? Why do you even have that if you're not going to enjoy it? Just to 'have it'?

    --- and I'm not putting you on the spot, I mean that for everything; even having sealed shit. Why would you have it if you're not going to use it? Listen to it? Enjoy it?

    I don't know if it was with the Benny Hall vinyl, but in the past 5 years or so, there's been a tendency to HAVE things... accumulate things... things things things.... when/where does it stop?

    I don't mean to get all philosophical, but underneath it all, there's the music. Let's not forget that.

    I don't have a record player... I'm an ART collector. I like Brad Klausen. I listen to mp3s over flac... Vinyl, in my mind, is 12x12 in art... I have some AWESOME looking vinyl, with HORRIBLE music on it (aaron horkey)... Shit, directly in front of where I sit, there are two painted records on my wall, one is Snookie, one is a big 4:20 friendly design :)
    Hope that answers your question...

    Also, I listened to that show 10,000 times before I got the vinyl. didn't need to hear it again.

    Touché brother. But, you can still spin that shit every now and then..... just to make the rest of us feel like the few who have it, are enjoying it!

    I'm enjoying it... I had it on my wall for years, enjoyed LOOKING at it all that time as well... I'm not ready to turn off PJ covering REM's "It Happened Today" just yet... Honestly, I'll never open my Benny. sorry, not going to happen.

    A certain little Canadian site was most helpful to me in getting it.

    Things I would accept for my Benaroya vinyl. Original EMEK 1996 Charlotte Pearl Jam poster ARTWORK. not the poster, the OG artwork... A marble parchment Chuck Sperry Milwaukee AND Myrtle Beach Widespread Panic poster(2 posters, both variants, on marble parchment). Olly Moss MINT Star Wars set. That's really about it, for now.

    Each of those requests are STUDIP, a waste of my time for typing, I was just trying to say, my Benaroya Vinyl isn't going anywhere... sorry. I guess I'd sell it for $10k... then, I'd IMMEDIATELY buy another. :lol:
