I really wish you would read my posts again. I never called ANYONE any names... im sorry you feel that way. No names were directed towards anyone, just speaking of "assholes/scumbags" in general... sheesh louish
and again... i would have only been offended by your poster selling had you purchased it at cost ...tis why i apologized ...
Hey, I actually edited that post to take that part out. You quoted me too quickly!! Sorry
you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.
Hypothetically if I bought tickets off of eBay for lets say $200.00 each and I ended up only needing one, what should I do?
If my friend decided to go with me I would charge him the $200.00 as anyone would. If I resold it I would try to get my $200.00 back.
With that said I would NOT try and sell it here. OR I would perhaps post that I bought expensive tickets online from a broker and would sell my extra for what I paid.
This is situational and I can't think that someone doing the above would be wrong.
The problem arises because who is to say what the original cost was. The PJ Code is so strong that even the slightest impression of making a profit incites anger and venom.
In the end I try not to worry about it too much. Sure I despise scalpers and all of the corporate greed and vent sometimes, but not every situation is the same and should not be painted with such a wide brush.
You are giving some people here WAY too much credit if you think they will assess a situation before commenting!
although ill refrain from the stick... its no crime to point out when someone is being a tool. Not saying this "guy/girl" is indeed a tool but i mean come on...
If i had extra pearl jam poster, i wouldnt sell it TWELVE TIMES the worth and original price of the poster... Thats just being a dick wad.. which id expect to see on ebay but not here...
I've got the first release of Bob Dylan's debut album my Mom bought in 1963...mint condition. She paid like $8.00 for it. Hmmm...maybe I should sell it for that versus the hundreds its worth now? Anyone want it for $8.00???
Oh ya...I'll chip in my 90s PJ singles for the "fair" $10-15.00/single...the membership dues I paid to get em.. jeez

Dude, a real fan would pay ME $8 to take it from you. C'mom, don't be greedy!
Ps. "market value" is only relevant for scum bags.. not fans...
Oh ya....say...whats the "market value" of these high priced special seats PJs been sneakin in lately...guess they can set a crazy price but not fans???
i've read this thread with interest, and have to admit... that reading the comments over the last couple of weeks on this site has bummed me out. i would be willing to sell the handwritten setlist from the IMPACT Awards show if someone threw an obscene amount of money at me, so does that mean i'm not a true fan? bullshit. i had an idealized view of PJ's fanbase, but on this official site that the band sees fit to provide for all our benefit, i've seen fans slagging other fans, slagging the 10c, slagging the band, and it's just a drag. a bunch of fucking yuppies complaining that this group of musicians, who have made so many incredible philanthropic efforts, done so much to provide access to their music for all of us, who have been selfless innovators in getting the best seats into true fans' hands at face value, isn't running a good enough website or doing enough to get you those seats to Ed's mini tour, which aren't even PJ shows! what a bunch of petulant, self-absorbed assholes. then i had the displeasure of reading comments disrespecting Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, which would truly disgust the band.
this definitely seems to be a minority of fans, but there's quite a few. quit bitching and enjoy the music.

Thanks. Somehow this thread got seriously hijacked like 3 or 4 times, but I can't complain because it means more people look at it and I get more inquiries that way.
you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.
you had said it seemed high. and like you said you weren't even interested. i had to then explain to you that i would only be making 10$ on it and that was my asking price.
i think we are all smart enough to look up what posters are going for and that was all i asked for was "reasonable offer"
I thought posters weren't for resale? And please don't say all these were bought at shows, cause who would sell posters to the show you went to?
Some people buy the poster at the show then decide to sell it later. I have posters from most shows that I've been to, but don't have the money to frame them all, nor do I have the wall space to hang them up if they were all framed.

The Sentence Above Is False

I've got a PJ towel I bought at the show...NEVER USED> NEVER WASHED. Just folded and put away.
I'll sell it to someone for $160. This includes shipping to the US.
Any takers?
I'm out of work....
If you can't beat em...join em!
(For $210 I'll throw in an orange Stone "Avocado" pick)
Ha.
If I did I'd sell it to you.
No go. Sorry.
Let's Go Mets!

None of these posters were bought through the 10c online. Thanks.
remember me?
I Think your prices are kinda high i wouldn't pay that for them.
I think people would like fair prices, they seem a bit high.
he did the same to my SN LA 06 Kluasen
respect
So don't buy them. Other people think that they are fair and good. Good luck selling your poster.
Just for clarification, I only asked you to post a price. Once you did, I said I thought it was fair.
i think we are all smart enough to look up what posters are going for and that was all i asked for was "reasonable offer"
good luck
yoyo

Please read more carefully.
Good luck selling.
