This is a trajesty.

why anyone would pay more than $20 for this is beyond my understanding... just JOIN THE FUCKIN 10 CLUB PEOPLE! you get the single and a bunch of other goodies for less than the single by itself!

yes, quite a trajesty........in the largest forms they can occur in.......

why do people sell things to others on such dishonest terms? I still have not gotten my single but I did put it on my computer (my son did anyway). but people selling it for more than even our membership dues as pointed out already is not right. can someone report these people who are claiming to sell something exclusive when if the buyer searched here, they could find the ways that would be better ways of getting the merchandise?

am I off base here or do you agree?

not sure if these singles specifically say not for resale... but as far as the price issue goes, its the responsibility of the consumer to know the actually value of a product when buying it... its just good (though dishonest) business on the part of whoever is selling it... its likely someone who joins 10C for the tickets perks and does not have a turntable therefore having no need for the single... i didnt see the auction at the beginning but its possible there was no reserve placed in which case the seller cant be faulted... unless of course like i mentioned the single is "not for resale"

yeah, I guess it's just (to me) like pawning off grandma's jewelry. kind of slimy. if they don't have a turntable, then maybe just keep it for the memorabilia ................?

ok yes, still haven't gotten mine.........

but there is already a thread for that point. what do you want this thread to be about?

because I thought the original post was opening up a discussion about the fact that some people are still waiting for their single while other people have it and some of them obviously do not have a need for it or maybe a way to use it.

so what do you want to "move on" to?

this is not for you

wouldnt the "sealed" single have the sellers address, name and 1oc number on it??
couldnt they then be reported to the 10c or something for this?


edit

then again its not exactly illegal....

dunkman

i cant understand peoples issue with this... i have 4 or 5 Xmas singles now.. and i dont have a fucking record player so what am i supposed to do with them? if i can sell them on ebay then thats my choice and also it means rather than them collecting dust in my 1985 record box someone can get the benefit of playing the fucking things!!!

people are becoming so irate at the merest thing on here.. is it cos they think Eddie doesnt like ebay or something :rolleyes:

its up to each individual what they choose to do with their single. maybe they need the cash, you don't know. i myself don't have a turntable but WILL be keeping the single as memorabila but if someone chooses not to do that then don't come on here slating them just because someone chooses to sell a pearl jam related item on ebay.

why check on ebay anyway if all your gonna do is moan?

Indian Summer

Just because its on e-bay doesn't mean you have to buy it from there. It will come in the mail.

How do we know that isn't your e-bay listing, and this is a clever way of advertising for your own personal gain?

starting price was 99 cents

Are you from the UK? In the UK, 'pissed' = drunk. In the US, 'pissed' is used interchangably for 'pissed off' = angry.

nice!

You shouldn't be pissed. Just relax. There will alway's be that certain person in the world that will tick you off. I say fuck em! Everybody has a choice. If they want to piss other's off. Let them do what they want to do. Just ignore them.

brainofPJ

i would only be pissed if it doesn't arrive by march or april and then you email the 10c and they respond back saying "it's not our fault" and don't even offer to ship you another one.


btw, i just recieved mine a couple of days ago.

it will come.....well, maybe.

yeah but I wasn't the one who began the thread with "I am so pissed!" so pass that thought on to them. I was just answering the whole issue brought on here and hypothetically summing up why.

to be truthful,most things that happen around me don't piss me off until they hit home and affect me directly........I have to save up my energy for the good stuff, you know? Let the guy ( or girl) sell their stuff on ebay, who cares? All I know is I wouldn't and that is the only thing I need to worry about.
