    Am I the only one who thinks it is weird that it is still on the Vinyl Shop page? If it's gone, get rid of the listing....unless...

    that's to sell the ones that they cancelled due to "only one per household" rule. keep F5ing! :mrgreen:

    no chance on 5000. they didn't even get that high of a run for the vault vinyl which was custom order and up for some time.

    this was on sale for a few hours. it's less than 1500, probably less than 1000 really. i'd wager 777!

    sounds a bit more reasonable

    Not a chance there's 5000. That would have actually registered quite highly on the Album charts if that was the case.

    Maybe they're holding some back. The EV hardcover Songbook was released twice through the site. You never know.

    not a chance 5000 were pressed. this thing sold out in 90 minutes or so?

    1000 is a more realistic number. and i wouldn't be surprised if it were as low as 500.

    I think it took about 3 hours. Quite a bit of time and enough to sell several thousand copies

    Without any knowledge of the subject, I'm estimating it costs
    about 25k in setup costs and about $20 per set to produce these. That comes
    to a little over 800 copies to break even. So 777 might not be far off.
    I'm thinking it's probably more like 2000 though

    this probably cost no more than $5 per set really. there is no set up costs, they didn't create a machine for these, they will go with a record pressing company, probably the same folks who did the album pressing. there is a healthy profit margin on vinyl. not as much profit as in posters, but its close.

    It sold out way too quick for 1000. I mean how many people do you think were sitting around on a Sunday and ran to buy this. It had to be right place and right time. I would say a few hundred purchased and they are holding another few hundred. 1000 is a lot more than you think when it comes to records. There are still RSD items of 1000 press that are available. I'm guess somewhere in the 500 range but not sure we will ever find out. I'm sure they will pop up from time to time.

    I'll trade my HTC Evo 4g for the SEVENS box set.

    Still in the box, unopened.
    I see the sound, in waves!

    Are these also made by the same company that made LB?
    Perhaps they kept half back incase there were some duds or perhaps the kept some
    back incase some go missing in the post so they have replacements.
    Remember they sold all of the PJ20 Ltd ed dvd then when a heap( about 1000) went missing in the
    post they couldnt replace them.

    Also if they turn out like the LB LP u would be crazy to be buying the item off someone in ebay that doesn't even
    have it in their hands yet.

    Were the original bennys sold from 10c listed as colored and numbered or was it a surprise?

    originally Benny's were described as colored and numbered out of 2000....no surprises...(except maybe how their value skyrocketed)
