FLIPPERS ON EBAY

Good evening folks, getting ready for the big show. That being said, there are over 15 posters for this weekends show being flipped on eBay. Some go as high as $1000.00. I wonder how they got out there (Volcom). All these flippers are profiting off of US, the fans. I am so sick of this S):T. Every time they play NY, every scumbag scalper comes crawling out of the sewer to F us all by denying certain people the opportunity to get a cool souvenir from a cool show. So, to solve, or al least create a huge pain in the A for the scalpers, let's all do this....search eBay for the NYC posters (VERY easy to find), and INNUNDATE their eBay inbox with mucho crap. Or, we could all do what we say we want to do, AND DON'T BUY FROM SCALPERS. Everyone who buys from flippers is only supporting their ill gotten "hobby". Stick them with the stuff the bought. Have a good night folks. B
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room.

Travelling to a city like NY or The Chi just to stand in line at a store for hours?

"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

Wish someone in the 10club was able to release more Pearl Jam music in the store. The one one Vault per year is weak. At least release a Vault show quarterly every year. Don't worry about the vinyl delay. Just release more official live music fan's would drool all over for.
Now back to the flippers...
They can release 4 posters for a show and all this merch but only one vault show per year?

Pope just remarked: "It would be easier for a camel to fit thru the eye of a needle, than for a Flipper to get into Heaven."

Don't get me wrong, I'm not the Dalai Lama or anything. I've been a victim of that desire too, but once I realized that I'm actually relieved when a poster is ugly b/c I dont have to spend the energy or money trying to get it, I had to take a step back and question the whole thing.

For some people, it seems like the merch ADDS to their enjoyment of the music IMO. I'm not one of those people, but I don't see why those who are can't enjoy merch and the music at the same time. There is room for both I'm sure.
I do think it's fun to talk about the merch, and I enjoy seeing people go nuts over it, lol. But it's nothing compared to the music (and the PJ vinyl IS the music, so in that way, since vinyl is mostly the only merch I buy, it truly compliments and highlights the music and my enjoyment of it rather than overshadow it). As for dog collars and mugs?.... It's fun for people (even just the voyeurs, haha), and fun is never bad.
As for the comment about the band BUSTING THEIR ASS for us.... It's not like they're doing it for free. So how come the band's huge earnings from both ticket sales and merch sales aren't overshadowing the music for them??? Some people think it is, actually, much more so than merch could be overshadowing the music for the fans in your view. Some people have even walked away because they thought the band's sold out.
I've already complained about supply/demand but the merch ppl should take pre-orders or have unlimited supply if they want "No Flippers!". That sticker on the back is amusing.
Anyone who pays $450 for a poster has some issues. The current NYC ones on ebay are around $120. That's not unreasonable if you consider the opportunity cost of your time / taking paid time off to go stand in a line.
