If anyone can pay $100 for a wooden crate, they should take that money and donate it to charity.... this is disgusting.

Who are you to tell people what to do with their money?
I get people not wanting to spend their money on it, but if they do, they have to get told they are disgusting for doing so, by the likes of an anonymous fan club member?


Hate the game, not the player. You should find 10C and PJ disgusting. Turn in your fan club and leave the rest of us in our filth.
(I actually did not purchase this item, just find sanctimonious bs statements like this to be tiresome. If I want to light my money on fire and then piss on it, I can.)

Pretty sure he was kidding, F Me.

But have at it, bud! Nice rant!

If it was a joke I rescind my reply. (Add a smiley or something next time.)

I think that at least 50% of the people on this forum who think that I'm an asshole think so because I forgot to add a damn smiley.

The rest of them are likely correct.

Photo or it didn't happen when you decide to do this with your money.

I hate lying on the wooden floor to look at the spines of my records - it hurts my spine!!!

Smiley = joke
No smiley = weak attempt at joke?

It was almost $250 for 1 of each with shipping in the US. So I can see how these aren't everyone at that price.

Dude that's intense.

The picture that –decodified- posted is really useful, and if I wanted to deal with $100 drawers in my already existing vinyl shelving unit then these would be cool but VERY expensive additions. IMO, using them in this way makes getting your records out, as well as putting back, pretty cumbersome. Even more so for those of us anal-retentive people who alphabetize our collections.

Those of us that have and/or play records are very likely to already have a storage system that doesn’t revolve around crates, and if someone is using crates chances are their crates are of the cheap variety because let’s face it, many of us here are cheap fucks (no offense, I include myself in that category). Although we splurge on the good stuff, I’m betting most people are grateful this is tour time and our budgets are already blown on the coming tour expenses because it makes it easy to say no to these.

MendozK, I agree with you 100%. Is it really likely that someone who isn’t already using crates is going to start now? I’d doubt it, especially at this cost, and it begs the question – is 10C putting these out because they think they’ll actually be used as intended, or is it just another vision of dollar signs because they know most of us start drooling when something official comes out that actually says “Pearl Jam” on it.

Are they cool? Sure. Was it a good idea? I don’t think so. A good thought at the start maybe, but another bad decision based on the price point.

As for where all the other vinyl related PJ products are, look around, it’s out there, but it seems the stuff many of us have been asking for is now fan-made, and quite frankly pretty damn good quality too. Even Wishlist Foundation made a pretty cool one. And I’ve seen some pictures people have posted here with some fan-made slip mats in the background. Hell, I have 4 of them and love them.

And the end of the day, the haters can all blame Kev for these boxes, based on the title of his post from back in 2012.

I refuse to adapt.

I don't need all these imaginary friends anyway.

I don't have any problem with them making the crates. They ARE beautiful, and if someone wants to pay for them, they'll surely look amazing.

The only thing I dont get is why we cant get something as simple and easy as a slipmat if we can get custom Pearl Jam crates

Remind me why I'd want to store my collectibles in an overpriced box made of untreated wood that will likely destroy my records?

Continue to check the wishlist foundation for slipmats... (currently sold out or removed?) I recently got a PJ themed one that looks pretty sweet and it was like $12... also, there are much more affordable alternatives to the PJ themed crates... I found some pretty good looking ones via Amazon.

You don't want it because it's practical. You want it because it has Pearl Jam emblazoned on it. Silly

Would love one of these but even before shipping the Canadian dollar makes it impossible to justify.

Before we rip on Ten Club, please understand that Lookwright charges these same prices for blank crates on their website. Same goes for the ones on Discogs site with their logo.

I can't begrudge 10c on the price. As you say, that is what the manufacturer charges, too. What I can begrudge is that 10c works with these types of manufacturers who make things for people with more money than sense. Why not work with a company who produces less expensive items that are functional and affordable, and sell a shit ton of them?

Can't argue with ya there!

I like them. I bought two of each. I'm willing to pay more for something made in the USA, hopefully by a company that supports and cares about its employees.

There has been some PJ merch over the past ten years or so which I did not buy because I did not like the items and/or I thought they were overpriced. I missed my opportunity to complain about the price gouging lameness of these items when they were offered here for sale. And I again missed my opportunity to complain when they sold out after a month or two and nobody had told me that they were indeed coveted by others!
