Seriously, where are you going to get an orange Fixer for $90?
That's not really what I meant. When we started to get posts (both online and facebook) from the US members (who got their packages first). The majority of them seemed to get something rare. PJ20's, coloured fixers etc.... It seems like 80% (maybe higher) of the US packages got something rare.
Most of the posts with the Canadian packages were showing side project/lb vinyl's with christmas singles/love boat captain. It seemed like an inverse where most Canadian's were getting common vinyl and the odd person got something rare. Thus the odds of getting something good seemed way higher for US members than Canadian ones.
That's all I was trying to say. I guess I didn't quite get there.
I'd love Riot Act on vinyl. Sealed? Where do you live? Toronto here.
Sorry, it's not sealed, but it's damn near mint. I can send you as many pix as you'd like. I live in Norway though, so shipping might be an issue.... I have done two trades recently, shipping vinyl to the US with tracking. Those were lARge packages and that cost me a pretty penny. That 7" fixer shouldn't be too bad. You just let me know. I've been looking for an Orange Fixer for some time now. Check out my thread in Lost Dogs:
I had a courier note waiting for me when I got home from work today - immediately I was very excited!! 'Could it be a Benny, PJ20 Coloured, Avocado?'.........Got the package from a neighbour across the road....and........it was my girlfriends fucking business cards, bollocks! and the wait goes on..........

I hate to complain, but again I'm disappointed by this band. I used to love everything the band did but now it's either just bad luck or they're taking advantage of us loyal fans.
In 2013 I line up in the cold for the Seattle pop up shop for 4 hours only get have the option to buy left over merch. Waste of time.
Now my wife and I each sign up for the mystery vinyl. Hers gets cancelled and I get Moonlander. It's not even PJ. And The Fixer 7", which is possibly the worst PJ song every made.
Looks like Canada got all the crap.
I also don't want to complain but I am also very disappointed in this band.
I woke up this morning to find that Mike hadn't walked and fed my dog. Stone hadn't made me breakfast. Jeff hadn't done my laundry. Matt hadn't washed and detailed my car. Boom didn't mow my lawn. And Eddie hadn't done my grocery shopping.
Damn them
I had boom trim my pubes the other day though. I was all like "grooooooooooooom" while he was doing it.

My MIA package finally showed up on Saturday, I think, could have been Friday. Anyway I got Backspacer and Devil Doll. Was hoping for Avocado, Riot Act, LD or RVM. sigh. My Backspacer is white, but really in the end, it's still Backspacer no matter what color it is, LOL! It's going to play the same as my black one. I'm still happy I received something I didn't already have, was afraid I would end up with a red or black LB and I already have those. I sound so whiny! Really I'm happy with what I got, wasn't on my list of stuff I was hoping to get, but like I said I'm glad I got something I didn't already have. Hope they do this again in the future! I've never gotten to get in on any of the mystery sales before and this was fun!

That's all I was trying to say. I guess I didn't quite get there.
More specifically - it seemed the further away from Seattle someone lives, the worse their package got. Did anyone in Washington state *not* get a colored PJ20?
I'm sure it's a coincidence and it's easy to figure out how it happens. They make their packaged boxes and they of course will be in clumps of this and that. Then when they put the UPS labels on them - it probably spits them out of the machine by distance/geographical location. They probably could have just as easily gotten Moonlander's as PJ20's in Washington - but they got lucky.
btw what's the orange Fixer actually worth? I'm not gonna sell it but would trade for similar value.
there has been an orange fixer on ebay for $199 BIN, and it hasn't sold, lots of watchers...so maybe that helps you.
He went from saying it had no value to him to wanting Avocado or Lost Dogs in trade in the space of about 5 minutes. Last I heard he was negotiating a trade for Riot Act, which would be a great deal on his part!
More specifically - it seemed the further away from Seattle someone lives, the worse their package got. Did anyone in Washington state *not* get a colored PJ20?
yes, my buddy in Washington got a sealed Avocado.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
To be honest I'm a bit bewildered that a lot of the same records have gone to the same locations. Nowhere did it say random I know but it would have been nice for it to have been, how hard would it have been to distribute the packages a bit more evenly. I would be more than happy to settle for a white Backspacer or Orange Fixer, there has been some serious duds posted here recently. Most of the first ones seemed too good so who knows what the UK will get.

That completely makes sense, but it's still disappointing. It's a weird way to do it (logical yes, but still weird). I guess you want a randomness to things like a lottery. If people found out that lotteries simply made the first 1000 tickets winners and everyone else losers, the lotteries would fail because no one bought tickets... lol. Randomness gives everyone a fair shot and perputuates the hope (which drives the sales).
It'll be interesting to see what overseas 10c'ers get. I wonder if this will impact international 10c'ers willingness to participate in future mystery sales?

yes, my buddy in Washington got a sealed Avocado.
and another friend here in WA got a BLACK PJ20 with the 2011 fan club 7". I was convinced it was a colored one that was missing the sticker in the upper right-hand corner but nope, it was black.
I hate to complain, but again I'm disappointed by this band. I used to love everything the band did but now it's either just bad luck or they're taking advantage of us loyal fans.

What color is your fixer?
I'll trade you my package for yours Black RNDM and EV No More 7" from ITW

Thanks, so sub $200.
Andy, you got it. When I opened it I was like "I hate that song", but then I get 10 pm's asking for a trade. I was like what's up; then realized it actually had value and only about 100 were made. I'd take Riot Act in a heart beat, but the guy is in Norway. I love that album.
Also I didn't realize Lost Dogs and Avocado were worth more. I'd throw in a sealed Coke bottle if that evened it out. I wasn't trying to under cut anyone.
Hmm I had no clue it was rare. It's not worth much to me since it's not my favorite song, but I do take back what I said. Cool of the TC to give one rare and 1 unrare album. That evens it out. Hopefully it's the same with others.
I'll take that orange Fixer off your hands if you hate the song so much , I'm quite fond of the song because it's written by Matt, plus it's one of the few songs all the guys are singing at the same time. So what if they are only singing Yea Yea Yea Yea
absolutely, I know Su May got locked out of the sale, so it'd be cool to let her take the orange fixer if its not appreciated. That's a really nice item, and for the record, whilst its maybe not their strongest track, its still solid.
I wish I could help another jammer out and I have in the past, but I basically paid $90 for it with shipping and fx. Plus I don't really have anything too rare that PJ related. Sorry.

Well, I for one hope that theory is wrong.......living in the UK may mean we really could get the shitty end of the stick......or we may be the ones that get Riot Act etc as none have turned up yet......

No worries at all, I think that you should go for the Riot Act trade to be honest, it sounds like that would be perfect for both of you. The shipping cost might make it more than you want to spend, but the way I see it you would end up spending $90 plus shipping for Riot Act, which you would never be able to beat anywhere else! I wish I had something that you wanted but that is the way of the world - good luck with it whatever you decide to do!
We haven't seen many Coke Bottle Tens have we? And there were quite a few on the list! Doesn't seem like many Riot Act LPs have been reported but there wasn't that many in the first place. Not many Benny's but they would be recorded delivery so they would have hit Europe by now. UK get Coke Bottle 10 or side projects I predict.
Andy, as much as I love riot act and would really like that vinyl I never buy or trade for anything but new. Riot act is probably worth more straight up but the fact that it's opened probably makes it more fair. Sure it's a good trade but I liked sealed vinyl.
Just something about opening a fresh piece of vinyl.

Only 2 Benny's have been reported, one was numbered 5 and the other 18. The remaining x number must be going international then as US and Canada got these 2 quite quick. Mind you I sent a recorded delivery package to San Francisco from UK and that only took 5 days, so where are these other Benny's if they are being sent 'special delivery'?

Maybe it was a fluke it got to Canada so quickly and they weren't shipped via special shipping.

Pretty sure it was delivered by UPS directly, so they definitely used a different shipment method for the Benny in Canada. Normally UPS transfers the packages to Canada Post, and that's how everyone else in Canada so far has been getting theirs, besides the Benny guy. So I doubt anyone else in Canada should be expecting or even remotely hoping to get that Benaroya Hall album. (although never say never of course. They could have staggered the mailings of the Bennys for all we know)
