True but producing such small quantities only available for purchase in short window makes very few people happy and lots of people not happy.

So you can't make everyone happy, but you can sure make alot more people happier than they did. They're method of handling it probably achieved minimal happy results.

anyone have a bat, there is a horse laying dead in the street I'd love to go beat :fp:

What part of 'Limited Edition" don't you understand. It was produced in small numbers to be "Limited". They made seven million new shirts to make everyone happy. This was a "Limited Edition" Its really not that hard to figure out people.

Releasing small runs to create rarities is pretty standard rock band fare, I don't know why this should outrage anybody, i'm sure they aren't wishing there were more of their rare Pearl Jam items about.

At least with PJ they give the fan club members first (and in this case only) crack at it, although I suppose they could tweak the timing issue to give people a better chance internationally.

Why would anyone have buyer's remorse? Anything that is vinyl, Pearl Jam and limited is gold. Wait til Backspacer sells out in the goods section. People will then cry they didn't buy it, saying they thought it would always be available.

I was just thinking to myself the other day: "I should probably get Backspacer while it's still available and only $20."

Get it while it's a bargain. Been listening to it recently and it seems to get better with age.

Not only getting better with age, my 10C copy for 10 bucks sounds way better than the one I pre ordered back in 2009 :P

EMAILS go out to ALL of the fan club members..many of which do not post here regularily, and thus sell out super quick. (i.e PJ20 Blu ray, PJ20 backpack, PJ Vault Vinyl, Lightning Bolt "Sevens").

PJ Vault vinyl was available for quite a long time to preorder.

PJ20 Blu ray was available for even longer

Once again, PJ20 vinyl and backpack, and White Backspacer sold out within that afternoon, PJ20 Blue Ray lasted a couple of days, let's say 3 or 4, PJ20 DVD lasted about a week, let's say 6 days, PJ Vault 3 vinyl pre-sale started on June 5th, until June 24th at 5pm

I've never had a record player so I don't really get how this works...
There are 6x 7" records with two songs on them?

So in order to listen to the entire album you need to change the record 6 times?

Its more for collectors than to listen to. IMO But ima spin those shits.

I seriously doubt people are going to use this item to listen to the album in full, lol. But if they have just five or ten minutes and want to throw on a couple LB songs, or they are stuck on just one song and want to play it five times in a row, or want someone to hear this one song, or want to compare this song to that song back to back, or whatever, this set is perfect for doing just that. Is the purpose of singles really that much of a puzzler to people?? I really don't understand why this concept suddenly seems so foreign to so many people.

If I had them, I would spin all of them, but some more often than others, I would definitely spin SBM and FD, but not as much as I would spin Getaway, Sirens, Infallible, Pendulum, Swallowed Whole, Yellow Moon, and of course, Let the sevens play...

This is not a 10c exclusive item. It was available on Amazon as well. Who knows what other stores might sell this.

Amazon lists (and sells) tons of releases that they, when the product is released, can't deliver...

Good you brought this up: remember how many PJ20 vinyl orders Amazon.com and Amazon.ca had to cancel? Needless to say, those others sites around, including the greek one, from which I got a refund eventually...

jimbojones1138

it was listed as "limited" and for collectors, really. so im sure they figured that most people wouldnt want songs that were just released.

i can see vault 3 as something slightly different with how they took preorders. make a live show more readily available to those who may want it. hey a live show on vinyl is more attractive then a group of songs just released.

so this one is for the animals. i admit, it sucks that they didnt make more...

but the notice did say "very limited"

What a surprise? The box set is already being offered as a trade in Lost Dogs forum.

Man, I'd consider trading mine for a 1996 Pearl Jam Charlotte EMEK poster... not much else.

I got my email confirmation just before yours, no cancellation email yet. if I was you I would be quite annoyed. if they can't fulfill yours then ask them to sell you something else as compensation for their mess up. We all know they've still got old vinyl in their warehouse. A similar thing happened when Ryan Adams sold his metal lp, he hand wrote apology notes and sent an autographed poster as well as a refund.

I don't consider trading the same as "flipping" on ebay for $500

I do if the item is bought for the specific purpose of trading it. I'm not saying that it should be prohibited, but I do consider it a flip.

It's definitely not the same as flipping for money. If you trade something, there's a good chance you'll trade it for something bought for the same reason: trading . But if you flip it... :roll: :nono:

What about people that flip houses, you know, something that people's actual lives depend on... grocery stores marking up the price of milk and selling it as fast as possible... all flipping... we live in the US, flipping is legal, not always cool, but legal. Move on.

I gotta stop you there. I am almost positive the PJ20 Blu Ray was available for longer than 3 or 4 days and I guarantee the PJ20 DVD (original) lasted closer to something like 3 weeks than 6 days. People just didn't expect them to sell out because it was THE movie the band made themselves and it was crazy there would have been such demand for it but they made a fraction of what they should have. Back then "limited edition" meant nothing. Shirts etc were described as "limited" that stuck around the goods section for years.

As for Sevens, I broke the cardinal rule of Ten Club membership which is that if something pops up for sale, and I want it, I gotta buy it and not think about it. I figured I'd think about it, and think about what the wife would say if I spent another $65 on records that I don't play (my turntable is not worthy enough to play PJ stuff, 180 gram stuff, etc, shitty needle and shitty turntable, I just play my $1 used records from the 70s and 80s on it)... and by the time I thought about it enough it was sold out 4 hours earlier. Oh well. I missed the Vault too, even though I knew it was available only till a certain time... I logged on to buy it and I didn't keep track of what day it was... I was a day late!

Also for the people complaining about flipping, it only exists because people are stupid enough to PAY those prices for stuff that was originally much cheaper. Even if the first Sevens was listed for $1000 some idiot would have bought it.

One last point, this was not marked as "not for resale." I'm sure it was just a forgetful act on Ten Club's part... they list everything as not for resale. But it doesn't matter anyway, things that are not for resale are obviously and often quickly resold!

People understand what it means, they just don't like it. A cool item came out and a bunch of people missed it because they were not in North America and were sleeping or were out and about and didn't find out in time.

What is it so hard for you to understand that some people are a bit bummed they missed out on a new vinyl boxset.
