I know lftdaporch well. We go back to lossless trading's heyday. He's great people and you likely won't see another one of these from as reputable a source in quite some time. (That is to say you will most certainly be getting the real deal here.)

Is it expensive? Sure, but what use is there complaining about it if it's something you likely wouldn't buy at even half the asking price?

Comparing Benaroya Hall to this is a poor decision. At one point, Benaroya Hall could be had quite easily. That was never the case with the Columbia Blue.

I know I could never buy it, and if I had that cash - i'd probably be putting it into my Porsche fund (I'm on the ten-year plan).
Still, the bashing reeks to me of people jealous he is lucky enough to have it.

I've just comes to accept that people love to bash if they can't get something. I won't spend the money on this but tons of others will considering how rare it is. I can put a thread up for an ISO Benny and get one in less than a day by tossing out $800 or so...the same can't be said for this piece. The only question is....I hope you live somewhere where the snow isn't an issue with that Porsche

cayenne? fuck some snow! germans rule the road

WNY, so we get a healthy dose of snow.

@whofeelslikeadrank: The Cayenne isn't a real Porsche.

I don't get this love affair with colored vinyl. At least a poster is different from other posters. There are thousands and thousands of Vs. vinyl out there and they happened to make one blue for those in Colombia.

Your correct. You don't get it. Lol.

I know we all collect stuff but colored vinyl seems like the stupidest thing to pay a lot of money for. Collecting something just for the fact that it is rare rather than something of actual value or creativity. At some point you have to grow up, but there are enough people who haven't so these things keep their value.

To each their own.

No offense but who is one person to say that something isn't worth collecting by another?

It is a message board. We can give our opinions. I don't think people are going to lose their minds over what I say. It will be quickly forgotten. Sorry if I offend anyone. I think collecting is addictive (me - guilty) and sometimes you need to step back and think about what you are doing.

I just picture kids on a playground playing with marbles (probably back in the 1960's) and one shouting for the blue marble and one wants the green marble. Flash forward 50 years and we have grown adults saying: "I know the black vinyl plays and sounds the same, but I really want the blue one."

I just don't see the draw of the colored vinyl. Plenty of other cool things to collect in my opinion. Paying $2,000 for a vinyl because it is blue? No, it is because it is rare.

It's not that it's blue.
If the Colombian vinyl standard black was this rare. Then that would be worth the same.
But the standard black is not rare. The blue is.


Now go find me a Dutch black vinyl daughter 7". And I will give you ten red daughter vinyls for it.

It's got sod all to do with colour of wax. It's about collecting all pearl jam releases

I'm not into collecting much, and I still will say my piece if I feel the price is outrageous. Wouldn't want someone who has some extra cash to fork over more money than they need to. No one here is jealous. I would guess most people are just like me who don't want to see anyone have to pay more than twice what they should, that's all. There are plenty of people who have wads of cash but not enough time to do the research.

I doubt it's the OP's intent to rip anybody off, that's not what this is about. it's a self-policing forum, and that's what we all should be doing here. Over $10? No. But $3500 potentially? Yes.

PJ_Soul

$5000 obo eh? Total fucking rip off for that item I think, but more importantly, you're breaking a forum rule with the best offer thing. Good luck with that.

Could someone explain the "You can trade and set a reasonable price here for Pearl Jam memorabilia as long as the item is not available elsewhere on the site." part of the traiding guidelines for me please?
