So let me understand this correctly....

Person opens thread to re issue Benny incessantly bumps thread for better part of 2 years...

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.

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.

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.

Stay classy 10C members
be happy for others

Congrats Leeze!

No shit!!

This couldn't have been random, and that makes me very happy!! I am so glad 10C decided to send Leeze that Benny, and I really don't care how they did it. Yay Lisa!

Im going to create a thread to reissue Lost Dogs and another to provide me with GA tickets to a show.

I don't think anyone is particularly bitter, we're all just hoping that we had a fair and equitable shot at all the things in the sale, same as anyone else. Which is almost definitely the case, at least until proven otherwise. You wouldn't buy a lottery ticket if you couldn't win the jackpot, would you?

Perfect ... Dude you post the best stuff ... I know I've said it before but there you have it

The comment before in this thread someone made about not being seen as a big fan because they don't visit the site much was interesting. Whilst we all know coming and posting here does have zero bearing on how each of us loves the band ... It's actually something id have no problem with if a member like Lisa was rewarded for her contribution to this community and keeping this site fun. Nothing to do with being seen as a bigger fan ... More just active on the site.

And of course we're assuming there was any thing other than Lady Luck. But it's easier to assume otherwise and make the other conclusion. If it fuels a drama here that chance will sadly always be snatched up.

great post, benjs!

Everyone who is whining, bitching, moaning, etc... please do us all a favor and just don't renew your membership when your time comes up and take your negativity somewhere else. Unreal. Unfuckingreal.

I was just thinking the same. like when a poor person wins the lottery. it's not rigged. it's just awesome.

And this raises a hugequestion on anything that is supposed to be random, such as contests/merch sales/ticket sales going forward. In fact, I'm certain the only way 10C can calm everyone's fears is to make sure I win this month's contest!

most likely, except for maybe......
