    I was lucky enough to buy a sealed one on here for $900 in December of 2015.  I opened it and spin it all the time because why wouldn't you?  I did see a waffle last week for 100 spots at $28 bones a pop - I got crucified for saying what a joke the seller would get $2,800 for a Benny.  I will keep me eyes open for you OP

    Benaroya Hall vinyl is the most overrated and ridiculous thing in the entire Pearl Jam world... $1,000 for a record? Fucking laughable dude

    Keep the money in your pocket, I will send you my CD for free if you really want it. It's the exact same show, same mastering, same everything... Benny wasnt mastered for vinyl.... they took the exact same digital file from the cd and pressed it to wax... you are literally paying $1,000 for a large black cd 

    Seriously. Keep your money.

    I'm pretty sure Lightning Bolt was the first Pearl Jam album actually mastered for vinyl

    PJ vinyl quality sucks historically... never understood why people pay so much for PJ vinyl

    The vinyl is actually wine colored but I get your meaning.

    I really enjoy the vinyl experience over the cd.  Too easy to hit shuffle or to change tracks and not pay attention with a cd.  Maybe this particular piece is over priced, who knows?, but never ever believe anyone that says the cd is preferable over the record with everything else being equal.  PS. Don't buy bootlegs...

    I completely agree.  I will never understand the commotion with this record set.  My similar CD version sounds quite alright and collects dust.  Furthermore, doesn't everyone prefer 90% of their Pearl Jam to be electric and loud :)
