I hope my order actually goes through. I did get the order confirmation e-mail, but I'm nervous that it was so close to when it sold out that I'll get screwed. It is kind of crazy to me that something could be so limited that some people won't be able to get it. I was out eating lunch at a restaurant when the newsletter e-mail came through, and I was like pushing my wife out so we could get home and order this thing. For a band that claims to want the best for their fans, they sure do create a dog-eat-dog enviroment where things like the Benny Hall records are $1,000 and up. In some ways I think it is kind of exciting to feel the urgency to grab this, but if I was not able to get online and buy this and now it is sold out, I would be super pissed. Just saying.

It's not the band's fault the benny set is so high , how can it be? they don't set the price for the after market, flippers do

Yea but there's no reason to limit some of these things. I understand numbering it and limiting it makes it more collectable, but Pearl Jam has way too many fans to do that. It winds up upsetting more people than it makes happy. It's insane to think that on a Sunday morning if you didn't check your email by 3-4 PM, you were screwed out of this.

Truth is, they are smart for doing stuff like this. They can claim it is for the fans, but it is putting a lot of money in their pockets. We rush to grab the limited shit and it sells out, which makes us rush even faster to get the next one. Same with the tickets. I think Wrigley created so much craziness for this tour just because so many people were shut out. I get it, and I'm fine with it as long as I keep getting in before the sell-out. But I totally understand why people bitch, and don't think anyone has the right to tell them not to bitch

I am blaming myself for this. I was home earlier today, and could have placed the order, but was waiting til later on when hubby went out. I could kick myself for waiting!! :fp:

Just placed the order. Hopefully it all works out. I wonder why the ten Club says it's an exclusive?

Maybe Ten Club messed up? I'm sure that happens, they're just people after all.

Benny was sold back in 2003 or 2004. The price wasn't $1,000 in 2005. It took a while. Nobody selling for $1,000 now is flipping, they are just smart.[/quote]

let's not open that can of worms

Sigh

Get it on amazon man it seems like they're still available. It's the same thing I'm sure of it. LB was the same exact thing too. Hurry.

And welcome to the 10c, a great group of people on here.

lol, the flippers don't set the price, the buyers do.

the fucking thing is sold out and I didn't get a chance to order it. Some cunt is selling it for $289 and it hasn't received its copy yet... scalper fans here too? :evil:

Cool for those that 'need' this. Don't really understand the point, apart from to take more cash from the fans. $55? I'll pass!

Why do you think $9 per single is too much? Isn't that about the norm? Plus special packaging and a promised cool insert. I don't really see this as over priced honestly. Especially since some of these singles you're not going to be able to find otherwise. To me, I'd rather have this than the actual vinyl album just for the uniqueness of it.

And I love the new shipping. I wanted a couple other things, but didn't want to pay the shipping, so i waited. Well, lo and behold added them to this order and no additional extra shipping charge!

Well it is overpriced given the Lightning Bolt LP sold at what $30 or so? A promised cool insert could be anything, it could be equally as disappointing as the MYM video in the 'exclusive 10c digital content' when preordering the 10c version of the album. I'd be all over this if it contained some extra songs - proper b-sides. But it doesn't. It's just a repackaged album spread over 6 45s.

It's like £35 for you. Go for it.

How many should they make then??

I don't really get that thinking at this point. 10c does this kind of thing all the time. By now, everyone should understand that if they are interested in getting special PJ merch they can't just sit around and wait for it to fall in their lap. Especially in this case. The newsletter is sent on the 10th of the month now - how hard is it to just make sure you check your email a lot on that day to make sure you don't miss something like this? Or follow the 10c members group on Facebook and turn on the posting notifications. Dimi usually posts this stuff there within minutes.

I just figure that if people are really into it, then they can make it so that they have a chance to get it. It's simply a 'you snooze you lose' situation i think. Limited edition stuff is super common practice, isn't it? I'm not saying it's a good practice (very small numbers like with this item seems kind of lame), but since that's the deal, and 10c makes no secret of the fact that this is how they like to do things, we need to adjust if we want a chance to buy such things .... But still, I am sorry for those who were snoozing. Maybe a lesson for next time? At least on the 10th of the month?
... I definitely sympathize with the person who just joined to buy this set though, since he didn't know any better... but hey, now you know for next time! Welcome! :wave:

Don't hold your breath with amazon.

I wonder - will this arrive before the Lightning Bolt LP I ordered back in July - which according to the site when I ordered it "CD and Vinyl format will be shipped to arrive on release date."

I get what you are saying, but they should make enough so that it can exist in the shop for at least 48h before being SOLD OUT... or something like that... different timezones and everything...

javis el errante

didn't log in the whole day, missed it... bummer...

edit: funny the terms of the sale: "make sure you still live in the same house by february next year!"


I made an attempt to read the whole thread but meh... I can live without this, surely there will be more later... amazon pre order? I might, later...

Empty Glass

I'll get one from Lost Dogs in January for $650 and have someone tell me it's worth it and the seller is a great guy.
