What should I be paying for Vinyl

passion4tunes

I don't know why but I just now became a member of this most excellent club. Been a fan for over 20 years. Saw them last week in Toronto and I'm hooked all over again!

Anyway... trying to add to my vinyl collection....
Bought the Avocado first pressing...pretty sure I paid too much....
Also just bought VS...that's in transit now...probably overpaid for that too....
Looking at a factory sealed copy of Ten(US)... dude wants $240Cdn....

Can anyone tell me if it's worth it?
What I should have paid for the Pearl Jam Avocado first pressing?
Trust me.... Im happy to pay for any Pearl Jam, but don't want to be a fool.

any other suggestions on where I might find the UK version of Ten with the basketball?


Thanks a Bunch!!!
Looking forward to all the benefits on the club

They appear to be re-issuing records starting with No Code. Personally, I wouldn't pay the overinflated prices and just get em' slow and steady as they become available through the band and retail.

I payed $28 usd for my original Ten
Granted that was three years ago

Is there any value in a first pressing??

I would say.. and this is my opinion.
Avocado - $200 average
Vs. - $ 50 average
Ten - $100ish? I would not pay $240 lol

Depends on why you are buying these. If it's to be a collector and not play the record, then maybe yes. If you are buying the record to play and listen to it, then no.

I don't feel that bad about what I paid for Avocado then
Vs. I got it for 50$ so I'm happy with that...
The Ten album is factory sealed and I would probably keep it that way....ill be patient and hope a better deal comes along

Discogs.com is a great place to check for pricing. You can check to see what releases have sold for, as well as what you can buy them for.

Depends. Some folks hate the remastered represses of Ten - Vitalogy. Sounds like the new pressings this fall will be 'remastered'. There will always be a contingent that will say the original presses are 'better'. Upon investing some $$$ in a new stereo system last month, I think the new and old presses sound great. My opinion? Don't waste your time on original presses if you just want to play them. If you're collecting, good luck. Prepare to spend a bunch of cash.

A lot of us are waiting to hear what the reissues of no code & yield sound like before making any changes. If they're anything like the already available reissues, people will be happy they held onto the OG's. If they're great, the OG's will hold some value for the collectors but the prices will come down some for sure.

But for a while now in usd I would say
Ten around 100
Vs around 50
Vitalogy around 50
No code around 140?
Yield around 125?
Binaural around 250?
Riot act 300?
Avocado 250?
Rvm 250-300
Lost dogs 250-300
Lo2l 150?
Benny 700-1000
Pj20 140
Pj20 color- 500?



These are totally ballpark for I haven't really actively looked in a long time but I would consider these as fair.

I'm sure those actively in pursuit can update these above suggestions

Thanks so much for the info!
LOL... I just saw Benaroya on EBay for $9700.00... don't think I'll ever obtain that one!
Binaural is being auctioned off... theres a listing for $450 and another for $800??? quite the variance....
some of the prices there are insane... but PJ is totally worth it

Thanks again!

Watch eBay and check the sold listings.....the more patient you can be then the cheaper you can find them.....pj spinning on a good turntable with the right stereo is magical!!!!
