    I love how the mods always catch everytime someone says "tits" in one of my threads yet they allow this kind of shit.



    Firstly , you need to chill the fuck out...

    Secondly comparing a peice of paper to a house is just ignorant.

    Where i come from its "Pearl Jam fan code" to never over charge for posters or anything else pj related. Why? Because you wouldnt want someone to do that to you if you so happend to miss out on getting one at the show and some other guy scored three.

    And its its "better m'am" to you thanks :)


    you know what thats how a lot of us feel but not everyone, you cant change how other people feel, and hey we do live in capitalist society weather you like or not, just because you and I abide by a code doesn't mean everyone else does.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    If it's acceptable to sell posters here for fair market value, would the same hold true for tickets? What's the difference?

    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.

    So you paid 300 for it, and are selling it again?


    Ps. "market value" is only relevant for scum bags.. not fans...

    I am not selling any poster for anywhere near 12x's the price I paid for it. In fact, I'm not selling any posters for more than 2x's what I paid for it. I spent a lot of money on posters, and now am low on funds. These are some posters that I don't think I'm going to get around to framing, so I want to make my money back. I'd rather sell these posters to Pearl Jam fans, than just list all of them on ebay. I would really appreciate the next time someone sells posters, if you don't like it, just move on and don't buy them.

    Well, i got an asshole so....

    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...

    First of all, its "guy". Listen, I understand you think its not cool too overcharge people who are truly fans of this stuff money, just to make money on them, especially if I'm a fan too. Trust me I get it. I don't like doing. I don't want to sell these posters period. But, like I said, I also don't want to lose money that I spent on these posters. You're just assuming that I got all of these from 10c or concerts, but the fact of the matter is I didn't. I'm just trying to make up for what I spent. There are a bunch of people on here who can vouch for me, so I'd appreciate it very much if next time, if you had a problem with something I'd doing, pm me about it first before attacking me just because you are assuming I'm doing something you don't like.

    Well see i understand that. There is just so many people who do that just to turn over a huge profit. I never accused you , hence why i said "i dont know if this person is doing this or not"


    and Um.... okay... well just so you know , when you post something on a message board, it becomes everyone's buisness..Thus if i dont like it again, im sorry but i might just comment! Its not like im screwing up your sales or anything... some desperate soul will buy it.. not to worry


    And you're right, you can comment if you want, but I would appreciate it if you didn't. If I wasn't sure what someone was doing I'd talk to them directly before calling them an asshole in front of everyone else.

    Either way, I hope you're not too offended by my selling posters. I wish that everyone could just get posters really cheap, and that way I wouldn't have spent massive amounts of money (like an idiot) on them. I'm a pretty bad impulse buyer, so, that's what happened. The only reason why I didn't mention this stuff to begin with is because I didn't want to whine about being low on cash :p.

    Anyway, if someone wants to buy one of these pm me ;)

    This is very true.


    can I still bitch about it though? :P

    but just disreguard what i said considering obviously this isnt the case with the person selling, so im sorry if my post seemed accousing.. really was not my intention, hope all of them find loving homes


    Thanks, I appreciate that. Sorry you had to get rid of yours too, it sucks :(.

    Anybody who has a loving home and wants one of these pm!

    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 :D ...

    Hey, I actually edited that post to take that part out. You quoted me too quickly!! :p Sorry :o

    You are giving some people here WAY too much credit if you think they will assess a situation before commenting!

    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

    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.
