    Kinda makes me wonder if all the Benaroya's are going to pre-determined members.
    Can't believe the 10c would do that. Complete BS if they did though.
    Why is it complete BS? It wouldn't be too difficult for Santos to at least narrow down his selection with the help of some research. I, for one, hope the others also go to deserving members who at the very least don't one already it. For an item like this, it's justifiable.

    Full disclosure: I didn't buy the mystery vinyl.
    That would be total BS, not justifiable at all. I would have no problem if they felt certain people deserved Bennys and just gave those people Benny's it's there merch but you can't advertise Bennys as part of a random mystery sale take peoples money and they sorry you never actually had a chance to get one .
    I don't think the 10c would actually do anything that wrong.
    Well, we know of 1 Benny that nobody else had a chance of getting.
    Nah, i'd like to think it was karma and she deserved it.

    So let me understand this correctly....

    10c has mystery vinyl on RSD, site crashes, above referenced person is lucky one to get thru and able to purchase said mystery vinyl random package....

    Mystery vinyl "random" package arrives at above referenced persons mail.....

    Above referenced person received Benny in random mystery vinyl process....

    Odds of this happening are so astronomical that is calls into question the VALIDITY of said PROCESS for all involved.

    Hmm. This is going to be one interesting debate. I can see it from both sides. It's wonderful that 10C pays attention and tries to help really dedicated fans. On the other hand, I'm sure I'm not the only really long time fan that rarely posts on here. While I'm fine with never being able to own a Benny, do I deserve a less than equal chance because the 10C doesn't know me? Part of me does feel sad in a way. Less equal. However...

    what I feel more than anything is happy for lisa.

    Now when everyone else gets a brad record they know ten club deliberately sent it to them with a big middle finger. As happy as I am that someone deserving got the record they wanted, at the same time, playing favorites and having things be "predetermined" when it's supposed to be a true mystery sale is defeating the purpose of that mystery sale.

    But, NO ONE CARES anyway so why bother

    It has nothing to do with 10C as a whole, it was a judgement call on Santos' part. I'm sure he felt the Benaroya Hall vinyl should only go to those who don't already own it, and while he can't be 100% certain I'm sure he went about doing a lil' bit of research before selecting the recipients. Having said that, there was still randomness to the entire process.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    then don't call it a f'ing random process. call it what it is favoritism at best and closer to a sham.

    10c makes millions of dollars a year selling junk shit made in china, send her the record and be done with it, but call it what it is....

    for the record I have a benny as well as most other PJ vinyls, but as the old saying goes..

    "it takes a lifetime to build a reputation and a minute to destroy it"

    that's all.....

    Congrats, great score!

    Has to be noted that if it now seems the mystery vinyl distributed to certain members has been pre-determined, I doubt i'll risk getting involved with this sort of sale in future. Ultimately we're all here through our love for the music (hopefully!) so who's to say which members are more deserving than others?

    I've grown up listening to PJ & they've genuinely shaped who i've become, but i've only seriously started working towards building a proper collection in recent years. I've started posting here even more recently which i'm now concerned could count against me.

    I guess I feel that my fairly recent contribution to these forums might mean i'm a 'second class citizen' in the eyes of 10C and therefore overlooked for certain items in 'mystery' sales. It's a shame but I feel i'll swerve these sort of sales in future if it now looks like the playing field isn't quite as even as it could be.

    I'd like to reiterate i'm very pleased for Lisa & my opinion is obviously only one. Still really looking forward to seeing what I get and will continue to keep an eye out for what all you other folks are bagging!

    I've been asking for a reissue for a long time. guess what happened? I was shut out of the mystery sale. I had one in my cart & it was sold out from under me. Was I annoyed? yes. Am I over it? Absolutely.

    I'm just happy that Lisa & Cav got one, just as she'd be happy for me.

    Frankly, I look at that picture of a stranger with the biggest fucking smile on her face, and I can't help but smile myself. Random or not, much as I'd love a Benaroya Hall vinyl in the mail, I could care less: that picture tells me that someone who deserved it got it.

    If this still leaves people feeling wronged, it's worth noting that since her serial number was RSD #18, I'd assume they added a few above the promised 5-10. And if they added a few above the promised quantity, I see no problem with 10C offering a random act of kindness.

    So let me understand you, you think they gave away the first 5-10 numbered benny's in this thing..... check the owners thread and come back to reality

    as for the big smile on her face putting a big smile on yours... that has nothing to do with the point of the discussion

    random act of kindness, while they collected 60 dollars from hundreds perhaps thousands of people that were trying for the opportunity to get the benny, not to mention the disaster that is the website...

    everyone entitled to their opinion....

    I am not unhappy for Lisa, but RATHER un pleased with the 10c process

    The number is 15RSD18, because RSD was at the 18th of April. Let's just wait what everyone gets. I had the same reaction seeing her picture. Really great!

    rival.. think about what you are talking about before you comment^^

    simple question was it random or not

    its not about whether someone is bitter, its about the simple question

    "was it random or was it rigged/staged/a sham"? that's the quesion

    it was most likely 99% random, save for maybe this one thing. I don't know Lisa. All I know of her is her reissue thread. was it favoritism? maybe. but again, they stated very clearly that they didn't want these to go to flippers. they know she won't flip it. it's no different than if they had cancelled someone's order because they are known to flip.
