Bewildered...

Does it irk anyone else that 3.5 hours after the sale starts for the Into The Wild vinyl there is already a copy being sold on an online auction site?

This has happened with the Benny Vinyl, Vic Tickets, Poster Sales, and any other special present our favorite band has made for us.

I wish there was some kind of way to question a persons fandom when they join a fan club. Some kind of screening process to prevent people from making a profit off of a something that means so much to us.

Sorry for my rant. Just wanted to vent.

    you could have vented in one of the countless other threads about the same thing. But anyway. get over it....or don't renew. That is all.

    It's not a question about renewing or not renewing. I've had a membership for 13 years. I'm happy with how the Club do things. I am just saddened that some people take advantage of something that is so dear to many of us.

    At the time of my post there were no other posts on the topic that I found.

    I agree. Like blocking these hoods from buying certain limited items or putting them in the back of the line.

    I just thought it was bullshit that someone was selling a copy of it on the internet already. Meaning they joined the ten club just to profit of the band. As a fan that pissed me off. That was all.

    two different pre-sales to cover two different time zones would be good. now i've missed out on benaroya & into the wild because the pre-sales begin in the small hours of the morning for me :(

    yes yes wake up for it, i know :rolleyes:

    How is this stirring shit?

    Oh. Is it your ebay account he is talking about?
    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    I just don't get why people get so worked up over people selling stuff on E-bay.....I don't like Lima Beans, so I never go to http://www.limabeans.com . It's that simple. I don't care if people want to buy Lima Beans for more than they cost at the grocery....it doesn't affect me.
