I think you both are severely misguided in your judgments against the 10C.
You are giving them way too much credit - as though they have any control over this ITW LP. They don't. They didn't make these decisions. They are merely just passing these onto fans - the best they can. There is not an unlimited supply of them.
Look,
I like ten c enough to give a shit to point out certain things. Does that make me an asshole? Im not saying these things as facts, im merely pointing out the fact that it would make sense.... But what i dont buy, is that ten c doesn't have control, if they are distributing pearl jam items, they have control over it
For instance, the beach towels. So somebody did them a favor, made them some, limited supply, and what have you. If you see the fans , saying hey wow, i would really like to purchase these from your business. Being a manager of a business, my first reaction would be... "Well, lets get a hold of a towel printing company, and see what we can't do"

How many more do you want them to make? I'm sure to make it cost effective they'd have to do a certain minimum number and then they'd be stuck with most of them, because no one would want them now that they weren't limited.
Don't you think the only reason they sold out so quick is because there were so few of them left over after the tour? And the only reason a lot of people want them now is because they are so "rare". I have two of them, I bought them both on the Aussie tour and I can tell you they're not even that great of a towel.
There's stuff that got sold on the tours of the US and Europe that never made it to the Australian tour and never made it up on the website and no one's clamouring about wanting them.
OK, if they made some more towel (a lot more) and sold them on the website for whatever they sold for last time ($50? I don't know, never saw them on there) probably they would sell, everything sells but wouldn't you rather they came up with something new? There's a bunch of stuff from previous tours etc that I'd like to see make a comeback but that's the whole idea, it's a memento of the moment, isn't it?

They weren't 50 bucks i don't think but Im just saying.... I don't want one because they are rare, i want one that i can have when i go to the beach I cant think of a better beach towel then one with my boys name on it. Yes i feel like a complete loser for giving a shit about a towel too. Im getting better. I didnt buy one of those poster books, that i really would like to own because they were too expensive. Im working to save up for college and i just cant swing that. Even if i could i dont think i would. the more and more stuff becomes "rare" and "special edition" the more i dont really ive a shit about any of it.I'm just saying it would be nice to be heard. At the end of the day i'm a customer. I mean whats the big deal about moving on to the next thing? Theres plenty of stuff such as the pearl jam socks... that stay stocked up alot of the times in the goods section. I can't see people buying pearl jam socks more than they would a beach towel. Just doesn't make sense to me ;p
Point being... if theres a demand.... i don't know why they WOULDN'T just order some more. Hell, order three different types! Unless Kel Varsen's theory is correct , there is really no other excuse for it.

This really isnt about a beach towel.
but what about the beer koozies?
seriously, I like the stuff kept limited
I enjoying knowing that Ive got something that was limited, if everyone had one, I would not enjoy having it as much
and by the way, was there any indication that the limited editions will be sold in stores? If not thats what the craziness is about, if the Ltd eds are totally sold out, than the price will easily reach $100 because of that 7"
I'm not trying to stoke the flames, but I realise this isn't about a beach towel. On one hand you may say it's about good business, but really it's about not getting what you want.
I don't know why they don't make more towels, like I said, probably low demand really. Life's not fair, and you can't always get what you want.
If you really want a towel, why don't you get one made yourself? In fact, get a bunch made and sell them on ebay!

To me it is not even about not getting something (and I am aware that life is unfair) to me it is more about 10club giving mixed messages and not filling a demand when there is one. I mean on one hand 10 club takes a very hard line on people selling things like records and tickets and posters for an inflated price, but on the other hand they choose to make so many items rare and that is what drives up the price to begin with.
Plus if there is stuff that is going for much higher prices on ebay, like the towels, to me that indicates there is a demand. If people want them why not kill two birds with one stone, by giving the fans what they want and at the same time getting rid of the ebay market, since 10club seems to be against it to begin with.
