    One of my favorite things about this whole forum is the amount of people complaining about others who complain, and tell them to keep their opinions to themselves if they want to complain. DO they not see the irony in that? Its on almost every thread, so I'm guessing they really don't.
    Do you mind if I complain about you complaining about people who complain about people complaining?  :)
    And prefacing the complaint with "one of my favorite things" is kind of a passive aggressive way of complaining---btw, all tongue in cheek...

    I don't mind. But really, it wasn't a passive aggressive way to complain. I think its funny and get entertainment out of reading it.
    How many times has someone said "If you don't like the price, don't buy it. No one cares about your opinion." Or the equivalent on any number of other threads. "Stop complaining about the missing singles, if you don't like what the 10C is doing then leave. No one cares about your opinion."  I find the irony in it funny.

    Keep in mind that the tenclub is offering 2 LPs AND a 7”. Gotta compare apples to apples when you’re price comparing.

    Yes. But just the 2 LPs (or 1.5) is $35, which is what was originally stated.
    It does seem a little pricey, but I'm not going to let $5 get in the way of not having a complete PJ vinyl collection (minus Benny, LD and 2 Legs).
    Other bands, yeah, I'd let 5 or $10 get in the way of buying Live's Throwing Copper or some other album I've been searching for.

    I could write a whole page about all the horrors that went on with our first kid. The placenta falling to the floor would haven't even have been worth mentioning.

    School is free in here, and we've been in the streets every 4 years in order to keep to it free for anyone.

    School is expensive in some other countries.. and we get more students from those country moving here for school.

    You have the right to complain, which does not mean you will start a fight for it. 

    I personally think 44 Canadian dollars for 2 LPs is expensive.. And I know I am right... although I will still buy it. 

    If you're not happy with my opnion, just buy it, pay the price and life goes on. Tomorrow it will be another 5$ more and you will pay it again without complains.. Thats how it work I guess !

    Well, it's times like these you have to ask yourself, "what would Mike McCready do?"

    I think he'd buy it and then rip off a face-melting solo.

    Came here for the complaints about PJ dot com charging $12 to ship the record.

    Maybe I'm early...?
    Ha, that's my complaint, but I am mostly done bitching about shipping. Instead, I just don't order from 10c unless it is something exclusive. I ordered Gigaton from Amazon, so I immediately saved $12 (the silly shipping charge), I'll likely get the record sooner since 10c loves to send their shipments via Mail Innovations on a tour of the surrounding counties and states, and I'll also get the digital files in my Amazon library on release day. Not sure why I'd want to order it from 10c.

    We had a next time, was at the same hospital but went much better. Partially because we knew to expect a quick labor. Official labor time was 5 minutes for the second. The problem was the first time being our first kid they didn't believe us she was in labor and refused to check on her for an hour, and by then it was too late.

    It's called a metaphor. 

    Complaining is fine.. it's not a bad thing... if done with respect.

    i went to sunrise records last friday. Lightning Bolt was $89.99. 

    you read that right. $90. 
    Saw that myself today there. 
    That makes no sense?  It's not out of print or anything? 
    sunrise has proven criminal. when the new tool cd deluxe package came out, it was $69.99. i passed on it. i went there the next week again (for something else) and at the checkout i noticed the price was $89.99, and the clerk told me point blank it's because they figured out what the demand was. i couldn't believe it. i'd never seen that from a music store before. 

    my guess is with a new record coming out, they know the demand for pj vinyl is going to be high, so they doubled the price on it. fucking crooks. 
    The new tool cd has a video and usb charge
    I know it does. I know it's not your average cd release. my point was that sunrise raises prices exponentially based on perceived demand. i've never seen that from a chain before. It's like they've become the secondary market with a store front. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Again, just for clarification, most records pressed at QRP, retail for about $35. Granted many are 200g AAA cuts by a great masterer (which we don't know who did Gigaton), but this floating around $35 certainly tracks. (there are probably other factors at play, this a new record, these others are reissues, so they have to compete with decades worth of other pressings being sold used and much cheaper).

    Its certainly pricier than the average $25-$30 double LP, and record prices have gone up a lot in the past 20 years, so people may balk, but I don't think this is outrageous pricing either.

    What do you suppose you are accomplishing by complaining if you still buy it? Every copy they sell just affirms that it's not overpriced. Your $$ speak louder than your words. If you don't buy it and complain in order to get others to do the same, well at least that's a strategy.
