Wtf why was my thread locked?

Horse2345

It makes absolutely no sense, there was no auction and a price was set.
What is wrong with trading a PJ20 backpack for a ga ticket? They were pretty much the same price so face value rule is met?
Cmon are you trying to say i cant value my pack at what i paid for it? Its mine i can value it at whatever i want.

I agree 100% with you. Total shit. Face value of both is almost identical. I assume this thread will be locked with no explanation aside from a copy and paste of the forum rules.

I agree 100% as well. A price was set and the original values were very close. There's no reason why the thread should have been locked.

Probably because some members think they have a higher authority than others around this place and run to the mods if They see something they don't like. The lock made no sense to me.

I think we need a "Locked Threads" link on this forum. Sometimes it can be some great reading material .

Hell, we already have a "View Unanswered Posts" link :crazy:

I just found a thread I started out of major frustration :oops:

I think the difference between the BP and the ticket is less then $4.

I think because even though the original value isn't the same anymore, they viewed as the person getting the backpack could sell for an inflated price? Just my guess

What if he sells the GA ticket? That's gonna fetch way more then the BP. The original value of both is equal. And I don't know this dude from Adam. I just think it's bs he's thread got locked.

Such a double standard in this place. People can sell Benny's for hundreds of dollars but this dude can't trade a back pack for a ga ticket.

Im sure they locked it because the value of the item offered in trade exceeded the face value of the ticket. Its against the rules. Right now the band allows us to offer spares on here for face value and id hate to see them discontinue that because people werent doing the right thing.

Agree ir disagree with it but the rule is the rule.

The value was $75. So it's the secondary market that matters? And did you frame the Kong yet?

I think it is just because there are tickets involved. There really is no difference between someone buying a ticket so they can sell for 3x the original price or trade for something worth 3x the original price of the tickets. That is what the 10C is trying to prevent for tickets.

I think they've given up on caring about merch trades/sales (other than no auctions).

I think if there was a trade for the backpack for the EMEK Wrigley poster (unsigned) the thread would have stayed alive even though the values are way different.

How is it the wrong thing? Noone can tell me the value of my property , i can sell the backpack for $78 if i want to. 10c is basically telling me i have to sell my pack for more than i paid for it. Its complete bs.

Not necessarily you selling the pack, but also possibly the recipient after the trade. It's tricky because there's a finite end date to the value of the ticket. The day after the show, the ticket no longer retains its value while the backpack still has value as a rare, collectible item. The person receiving the backpack could turn around and sell the backpack for market value, which would be a roundabout way of scalping the ticket.

While the original costs are similar, the perceived values of the ticket vs. the pack are different according to the forum rules. For the ticket, you're only allowed to ask face value. For the backpack, you're allowed to set a reasonable price based on the collectible value of the item in excess of the original face value. The question that arises is that if you're unable to find a trade for a Seattle GA, would you be willing to come back here and offer the backpack for sale at face value or would it then be valued differently if you were looking for another sold out, collectible item?

Can I buy your backpack for $78? Let me know your Paypal account and I'll send you the funds. Thanks! I'm so excited to find this backpack and for less than only 25% of the fair market value too.

You are the best!

not really. in essence you are offering $300 (or whatever that backpack goes for) for a ticket that costs $75. that's a massive profit for the current ticketholder. you know the backpack isn't worth $75, and you know no one would trade their ticket for, let's say, the drop in the park vinyl (which averages around $70). so you KNOW you are trading for over face value.

if you are willing to sell your backpack for $78, I'll buy it off you right now. I need one.

I don't have a GA ticket but you can use the $78 towards the GA ticket you want, unless you think the trade value of the backpack is worth more than the $78 needed for the cost of the ticket.

Clearly you must understand that you are trading something worth around $300 for a ticket that cost $90. You may try to talk your way out of it. There is a reason you offered the backpack versus cash or another PJ trade item with the same cost of the ticket but not worth as much as the backpack.
