I got Benaroya Hall LP set for $35 plus shipping...;)
Haha, yeah, I got Vault #3 for $45, Sevens for $55, and a coke bottle Ten for $30! :-bd
Whoa, me too!
As far as secondary market goes, I got a mint copy of Binaural off eBay a few years go for $80 because the person selling it did a terrible job posting it (his listing description was awful) and the auction completely flew under the radar and I just happened to stumble upon it.
In 2004 one of the local Tower Records stores was closing and I went to see what I could find a couple of days before the doors shut. Sitting all by itself on a shelf was Lost Dogs for $16. Walked out the door feeling pretty stoked! On the secondary market I found a sealed copy of Avocado from a small online store for $125 in 2012. SO glad I picked that up when I did! It's the only PJ vinyl I have that's still sealed. Can't bring myself to break it open....

Benny, Sevens, Vault 3, PJ20, white Backspacer for whatever 10c was charging at the time.
Yield, No Code, Riot Act, Lost Dogs, original Vitalogy during the early 00's, about 10-25 euros each for new copies. Lost Dogs might have been a bit more.
I got a sealed Yield from discogs for 50 bucks in 2012. It popped up late at night, and I just jumped for it. Scored a No code there for a little bit more around that time as well. A couple of Tenclubbers collected money for my holy grail a couple of years ago as well, and this way I came into the possession of a Riot Act. For free. Thanks to the wonderful people on here. PJ_Soul is another fellow member here who made mine and Cav's day when she gave her spare copy of a red LB to us for free. Well, and I got the Coke bottle Ten and white Backspacer for face when they got sold. I'm loving all these stories here. I hope one day, I "stumble" upon a cheap Benny somewhere too...

Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
i picked up pearl jam let me sleep/ramblings at amoeba records hollywood in 2006 for the grand old price of $14.99.
Wow, I also remember picking up a copy of Let Me Sleep at Amoeba Records Hollywood for the same price in around 2006 when I was living down in LA. I thought it was a mistake. Somebody must've dumped off a few of them not knowing what they were.
no shit, eh? i got mine when the band were in l.a. for that tour, maybe the day before the first show. i wish i remember exactly where i found it, but i know it was in a bin- it wasn't on a shelf or anything like that- i just came across it flipping through the stacks.
if i didn't have this experience, i probably wouldn't have bothered acquiring all of the singles. after i got let me sleep, though, it was like 'well, now i have to find the rest'.

Yeah, I had no hope of ever finding that for under $100 so to find it for $14.99 was a find. I thought it was a bootleg or copy but it is definitely the real thing. Amoeba has a huge 45 section and I found it under "P" as I always checked. I think I also found it that summer of 2006 which would've been around their tour. I saw them at the Henry Fonda where they played a free radio contest winner show for Indie 103.1(now off the air I believe). I didn't win but I just waited outside the theater and they let us all in for free after about five songs.

My mate has just told me he picked up original sealed No Code vinyl today for £150 in Soho, London. He's so happy has his favourite PJ album.

I got the PJ20 Soundtrack for 8 bucks (after trading in old vinyl found at garage sales for .50 cents each - probably spent 10 bucks total on those).

I guess mine would be an original Ten for something like $12 back in 1992. Or PJ20 and Uke for retail. As I mentioned in the "regrets" thread, for whatever reason I never bought any of the others when they were available. I guess I thought I had to buy the CD to play it in my car, and I was never home to listen to vinyl. Ahh, if only I could go back and kick my young self in the ass.
Pearl Jam for $19.99 brand new at a record store when it came out. Binaural for $80 randomly a few years ago.

I purchased my binaural sealed at used kids in Columbus ohio for 16.00. It had some creasing on the jacket but still sounds great today 13 years later.
Many records in my collection were bought there. Also got a lot at World Record, like Vitalogy at a midnight sale and Superunknown on clear vinyl, before Used Kids moved into that space.
Found No Code, Lost Dogs, and Live on Two Legs at a record store in Athens, OH about 10 years ago. Don't remember paying more than $20 a piece for them.
Ha ha, I have paid no more than 20 euros for sealed copies of Binaural, No Code, Yield, Lost Dogs, Rearviewmirror here in Athens, Greece. Well, RVM might have been 24 since it's a triple, but No Code and Yield were around 12...
i picked up pearl jam let me sleep/ramblings at amoeba records hollywood in 2006 for the grand old price of $14.99.
I picked up the same release at Real Groovy Records (Auckland, New Zealand) around the same time for NZD$5. It is quite possible it came from Amoeba, as they brought in tons of 7" vinyl from them. Also picked up REM's Baby Baby/Xmas Griping for the same amount.
