    They recently sold at the 10C Poster Show for $400. A mint sealed Benny can start at that price and go up to $700. I've seen them for over that on ebay ($1000-$1200). So it just depends on what kind of ransom you wish to ask. ;)

    Benchmark $1000.00+ for mint/sealed.
    The handful that were sold at the poster convention didn't change a thing.
    Good luck!

    We'll see - the few that were sold were numbered (so I assume part of the original 2000) so it's not like the market is now flooded with a ton of new copies.
    I think the fact that there were 5 on the auction site at once was part knee jerk reaction from worried owners trying to cash in, one or two flippers, and part people needing Xmas funds.... I can't remember ever seeing that many copies at once.
    I give it a few months and they'll dry up again.
    But, who knows.....

    Hateraide! :lol: I offered $700 about an hour and a half after this was posted. I'm not trying to be sneaky. I never got a response. I think it's a fair price to a member, or you can get $815 for it on eBay and pay their fees; it's totally the op's choice and I can assure you; I wouldn't have any hard feelings if he didn't want it. Heck, he didn't even act like he was sure he wanted to sell. Again, I just think it kind of defeats the purpose of OUR community. Jmo, and I hope the op gets exactly what he wants. I will eventually get one, and i will lock myself in my music room and spin the shit out of those records as they will never leave me until I perish. Pearl Jam means much more to me than any amount of money and if I wasn't a disabled vet on a limited income; I would have owned this long ago. Heck, I didn't even have Internet when these sold originally. Peace

    It kinda sounds like you're more worried about how much your Benaroya Hall vinyl is worth other than the fact that you're one of less than 2000 people whom get to actually hear this performance on vinyl. Shall I go into all the audiophile mumbo jumbo. Naa. It's not about that to me. I hope they come out with a reissue after I spend the big bucks. Doesn't matter to me; I'll never sell it, and I wish all my PJ brothers could have Benny on vinyl. I don't take myself very serious... :D

    Are you referring to me? If so, no, I am not worried about the value of my lp's. Mine are opened, have been played a few times and I wouldnt sell my used copy for under $800.

    2 months ago used copies were selling in the $1000-$1200 range.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs

    I wasn't asking a question bro, or pointing fingers, just making an observation and stating my opinion, which frankly don't mean squat. I know where I stand on the totem pole. I don't see why anyone would sell for any amount of money. Jmo

    I would agree that the 20 or 30 copies that the 10c recently sold caused a temporary blip in the neverending increase in the price of a mint benaroya vinyl.

    Once they end up into secure hands and stop appearing on ebay, the prices will go back up. There's a big difference when there's 5 auctions at the same, and when it dwindles to an auction once and a while.

    No Greatplainsman, if you were talking to me I'm not worried about mine at all. I paid fair market value at the time, and if they weren't so damned expensive I'd probably loan it to a bunch of people to listen to.
    I thought we were talking about the price of the set, not your set or my set.....
    My opinion is that these will not only maintain a high value, but increase in years to come. But that's just my humble opinion.....
    The OP asked an open question and I threw in my 2 cents - that's all.
    Never fun to see a fellow fan unintentionally sell something for way less than it's worth due to lack of info or knowledge.
    He can take all of our input and decide what's best for him.

    Congrats! You made the right decision. Although I think you should open and spin it, carefully. Jmo.
    Oh, And if someone just paid $1500, it must have been off the grid. No documented comparables even come close to that in the last 2 months.

    That would of been the time to do it. Had all those flippers selling their copies on ebay from the 10c sale. It temporarily spiked the supply (not over all supply, but freely roaming copies).

    If one was going to shell out an arm and leg for it.. then (or right now I suppose) would the time. Once the dust settles and the newly distributied copies find more permanent homes, the auctions will reduce on ebay, and the prices will march upwards again :(

    I'm lucky as to have bought one from 10c way back in the day, but I was so broke in university that I came close to selling it a few times (and the going ebay rate back then was about 400). Somehow I managed to make ends meet and didn't to sell it. I'm glad I didn't. I don't know what my price would be. 1500 still isn't enough :)
