Eh guess the rub is caused by this being posted in wrong thread and folks that don't visit LD viewing what some consider nuts. 150 for a dust collector and more than likely purchased to flip.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. I don't like flipping, I also don't like when people assume the worst in people without knowing anything about them. I think it may discourage some people from posting on here. I did buy this record with intention of trading it for something that was no longer available. I was able to get my iso through other means (Paying $150) and actually gave the coke ten away to someone on here. I felt a trade might be a better chance to obtain something I really wanted and wasn't excited about paying over 200 bucks for it. I guess I got lucky in paying 150 if you can call it that. I guess I can understand where some people are coming from.
It takes 30 seconds to run an eBay closed sales search to see what they've been selling for... They've been selling for $99 to $129 in June, plus eBay takes 10%. Where the F*&K did he come up with $150? He deserves to be torched!
What's the deal with a $1200 record or $700 poster?
If you don't like it don't buy it.
Yes. What is the appropriate amount of time after something is out of print to make a crazy profit? Unless this record is being offered for retail somewhere, the op is just following the market around here. Everyday I see red lb 170, riot act 250, sevens for 300. The majority of these people aren't getting flamed and called flippers on their posts. So the guy posted in the wrong place. It's not a good way to make people feel a sense of community. What's wrong with sending him a pm to voice your displeasure with his price? I've seen plenty of people lower theirs after others have let them know in a civil way they were asking too much. I've also seen the op try and trade this record for other things. Maybe his price is equivalent to another record that is being "flipped" that he really wants. I think the whole market for these lps has gotten out of control. Write an angry email to the band and tell them to release a sufficient quantity so this wouldn't happen.
Benny - $1675 on the Ten Club ebay site currently. Yes it's for charity which is freaking awesome, but that is a RIDICULOUS amount of money for anyone to spend on vinyl. If people will pay it, people will always sell it. I would bet the band could reissue Benny and donate all profits to charity and raise much more than $1675. Sorry for the rant. This stuff just blows my mind.
I really don't see the problem. Plenty of these things have gone for more than $150. Not every person who wants to sell something is going to be tracking the daily price trends of Pearl Jam items, lol. Seller should just move the post to Lost Dogs. We can do that now through the edit feature!

Ok guys here's a point , I would like somebody to sell me a sealed benny shipped to the UK for the price they paid for it ????
Have a fuckin day off !
Everybody knows what's going to happen there don't we ?
who ever has it is going to be sending me loads of PM's offering to kindly sell for what if I can remember was it $60 plus shipping of something like that , that they paid for
And let me explain the deal
The price is £150 for a sealed coke ten You PM the guy You agree to buy You pay the guy via PayPal or bank transfer The funds are cleared He goes to the post office It's delivered to a destination home or work You then own a ten coke sealed
I think that's the deal ( deal meaning the whole situation of transaction ) Similar to knowing the score !!
( and yes this email is typed in a sarcastic manor / tone , before I get criticism too )
Now waiting for the influx of PM's offering me Benny sealed unplayed , also I would like #1 please as numbered
Didn't the Benny's gradually increased in price? and there was nothing like it out there. Or were people asking for $1000 the next day?
Why does that make a difference?
No one was buying the Benny's to flip the next day for $1000. No one had any idea it would go for that much. They bought it because they wanted it. They did not even sell out the first day. So to ask someone to sell you one for $60 is just a little crazy. ( this is not directed to you rock4ever ) Now a days if your not on something the minute it drop's you have to pay 3 - 4 times the amount. Not saying that this is the case with this sale. I'm sure people wanted to keep There Coke Bottle Ten in there collections, and seeing that people would pay $150 for it, why not sell it. After all its the same wax, just in a different color.
All above is true. But who needs to buy 5 Coke Tens from Newbury. 1 to keep sealed, 1 to spin... Rest gifts to friends or flip. That is the problem here. People bought 5 of these with intent to immediately flip to make profit. More power to them. If I had time to sit around all day waiting to jump on the next thing, maybe I would too. Buy or not buy, your choice. Not bashing this person, just saying. Flipping is never going to stop.
What's the deal with a $1200 record or $700 poster?
If you don't like it don't buy it.
Yes. What is the appropriate amount of time after something is out of print to make a crazy profit?
That's a good question on the appropriate grace period. Coke bottle is probably close.
I don't mind the selling so much. I wish the 10c did forcefully back the no resale policy on items they marked not for resale. Such as the free ride vinyl.
I also get a little agitated at the same cartel of people who sell sell and sell at eBay prices or above while avoiding the fees. Not people who occasionally sell. Just those who are obviously buying to flip here and max out. It is predatory and not what 10c or lost dogs is about.
Coke bottle ten is kind of a joke IMO. I don't understand why people even want it for more than the original price. I haven't even opened the box it was shipped in yet, not because I'm a flipper, but because I'm just not even interested enough and don't need 2 copies of Ten remastered on my shelf. I bought it only because I buy all PJ vinyl if possible, no exceptions. It's really just insurance against possible future regret, lol. It is the only piece of vinyl I own that i haven't bothered opening (and haven't given away), so that's fairly meaningful for me; it's gimmicky crap, pretty much. More than any other PJ release ever, IMO.
.... Um, but you know, that's cool if people want to spend money on it! I think that any price that someone is willing to pay is a fair selling price. Still don't get why people go after resellers when it's actually all all out the buyers.

no offence taken but do you see my point, on the whole situation if something is ldt , it makes more we all know the "deal" if a collector wants it they will pay , i was using the benny as a complete piss take , but the principle is the same if bought for $60 then some sells it for £1000 its only the same as the above for a limited item.
just to advise you can stop all the pm's ref Benny now ;-)

Flipping is flipping. Whether you do it one day later or one year later. If this guy bought one copy I have no problem with him choosing to sell it if he wants. I do have a problem with people buying multiple copies to sell but there's no indication the OP did that so I'm good with it.

When the benny like most other limited 10c only sales its one per person , and we all know that if its limited to 1 per member , while sticks last , there ain't that many going to be about but member still buy them and sell them the next day on ebay , for because not all the members are true fans they are entrepreneurs , they see a business opportunity using multiple accounts the coke went on ebay same day of sale for I think 10x the face and sold ( will probably get corrected ) Newbury dis the wrong thing in allowing 5 per person , 10c 1 per member while stocks last so me as a member could have got 6 copies ?? What would i do with the other 5 , I'm going to sell ( only bought 2 second in error 1 10c 1newbury , its all about supply and demand if coke is suddenly required the prices go up if not only one or 2 may buy at the higher prices but it stagnates for a while , then patterns and markets change then it shifts in price again , but don't think anyone was misguided bye coke been up to $1000 , but its limited so who knows what it will go for example if someone offers you $500 for you coke , you not going to sell ???

You're missing the point. You seem to think that everyone who bought a Benny is altruistic and no one flipped a copy until years later. If people could have flipped the Benny the next day for $1000 they would have. I'm sure some Benny's were flipped very early on for way less than $1000. And I'm sure those people who sold their copy early on are kicking themselves today.

Nothing personal against the OP, but all buyers should beware when buying a sealed copy of this. There was a bunch of people (myself included) who opened theirs and discovered 2 copies of d1 or d2. If you are buying second hand and at inflated prices know that there is far less than a 100% chance you are getting what you paid for.
Unless you never intend to open it. Then it doesn't matter much at all.
If i had one i would not sell it for $500 or $150 on this fourm. I would sell it for what i got it for. And if i did want to sell it for $500 or $150 i would put it on ebay.
