    think about it....

    seriously.....

    this album is being released on a limited basis to record companies.....

    and the fucking record companies are flipping them on ebay?????

    wtf????

    is that fucking legal????

    are they not under some type of contract???

    to sell these things at retail??? in THEIR fucking stores?????

    you'd think the FCC or someone would have some sort of regulations
    in place to prevent this from happening.

    and it may be perfectly legal, just not ethical.
    not in the least.

    I think it is f'ed up but who knows what really happened. Maybe the guy has family that asked if he had any, maybe they found out they werent getting any after they thought they were, maybe they are getting killed by BEstBuy and Walmart and needed to get as much as he could to keep the store open. Just saying you dont know what really happened so you cant justify screwing this guy over.

    And yes I know I am about to get ripped for this post, so....

    whatever the reasoning behind it, that still doesn't justify taking these
    albums out of the hands of true fans to make some exorbitant profit.

    its just plain not right, nor fair.

    who was going to save me a copy of into the wild vinyl....

    who yesterday said..."oh sure no problem we have copies coming in later this week"

    just called me and says....."well we are not getting any copies now...the 10club has sold all the copies on there own website....there were only 2000 copies available.....now they are on ebay for $150".....

    and i say....

    "you my friend are a fucking LIAR"...heheheh

    "I have a feeling you will now be selling YOUR FUCKING COPIES on EBAY.....RIGHT?????"

    he hung up the phone.....hehehehehe


    I realize I do not know you at all and have never spoken to you at all, but I do read your posts, are you joking about how much stuff you "flip"? You always seem to be on the side of people who are making a profit from the merchandise. If you ARE serious about "flipping" merchandise, then are you upset you dont get the profit or are you upset you are not getting the record...again, I do not know you and I am not judging, it just seems alittle "odd" that this is making you so upset.

    There's a difference between a retailer flipping things and a Pit member flipping things.

    apparently he now realizes what a hot commodity these albums really are and is going to take advantage.

    at least thats what it sounds like to me.

    because 2,000 is not a lot.

    I am saying bestbuy and walmart are selling many of the same products not necessarily vinyl. CD's DVDs etc...

    What's to explain? It's like if the 10club had a sale on something...then were all douche's for no reason and sold it on ebay for like 100 bucks more. Now, I know 10club wouldn't do that. But, they're a retailer just like the record store.

    so if you had something different and limited, that the "big evil chain stores" don't, wouldn't you want to keep that in your store and use it as a reason for people to shop at your store???

    Not really.......10club didnt tell him he had a copy then sell it somewhere else.....Someone else is going to flip a 10club/eddie vedder product before someone else is.....a flip is a flip my friend, sorry the record store just got it first.....
