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.

    The ONLY people to blame are the people buying them for dumb prices, and there is no way to harass them via email, lol.

    People need to get a grip. Watch some footage of Syrian refugees, heed the words of the Pope, whatever moves you and brings you back to the realization that it's about music and emotion, not posters and stickers. It's just stuff.

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

    Yeezus!

    All about the music. Have every show that's ever been recorded and shared, whether official or by a fan on a walkman, all on CDs in simple white sleeves. The more music they release, the better, IMO. But this merch hysteria is out of control. I don't understand it.

    I totally agree, the music has been overshadowed by an fing poster or a button. Enough, I will come for the music, not the merch line!

    Wait, Pearl Jam is actually playing a show? I thought all this was just a ruse to sell posters, hats, and tshirts.

    Me too. But also saved on Data DVDr's. Hard Drives. Backed up on 2nd HD's. Will be starting the insane task on backing them all on 50gig Data Blu-ray Double Layer BD-R's. And then whatever new format to come. Yippy!!!

    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.

    If no one bids the flippers take big losses. Dont bid. Thats the only way to battle flipping other than mass production

    Agreed. Been saying it for years now...but start a subscription service. Commit to releasing a show a month or quarter in lossless digital and/or CD and you can have my credit card. Release vinyl if/when you want as an extra.

    They can release 4 posters for a show and all this merch but only one vault show per year?

    We r all flippers..the band being the biggest. I try to resist buying a lot of merchandise, but it ain't easy. Hopefully they dont make so much money from stuff, that it lessens the need to tour. Maybe 2016 will be about some shows and some new music.

    I think at this point, they don't need the money anymore. Their crew and staff probably do but they still play because we're lucky enough they all still like each other and will go on tour together. I'm sure the $$ bonus doesn't hurt.
