***Petition for 10c to re-stock PJ20 Blu Ray***

I have no hope. Bumping it anyway.

While I think the initial $70 price tag was outrageous, I was willing to pay it when I got the money together. The fact that it was produced in such limited quantity that it is now re-selling for more than $200 (to their most ardent fans) certainly can't be what the band envisioned when they first sold it. If they don't press more and the re-sale price stays high, it will be bootlegged, and deservedly so. I love the band and appreciate that they are admitting that a mistake was made, now they can announce more are being pressed and correct that mistake! The sooner they announce it, the sooner hardcore fans that missed out stop getting ripped off on eBay. At the moment, I'm very disappointed in this unfriendly move by a band that is normally so fan-friendly.

bump to front page...

You can argue until you've exhausted every point from both sides on this subject. The black and white is that they did not make enough copies. When I followed this band on tour last year I met so many people who were travelling many more miles than the 2500+ we clocked up with some of these going to all 11 shows or nearly all and people who were doing this after travelling to previous shows in Aus/NZ and the US. This is not too much to ask from a loyal fanbase. That 10c as middle men responded to the petition by simply removing it from the goods section with no explanation as to why a piece of merchandise that would normally be available to all was only available to a small percentage is a joke. That is no reward to all those people I met giving their all to show love and support to their favourite band.

I think it is really strange that Pearl Jam - the band that fought Ticketmaster for too high ticket prices sells 3 blue-ray discs for $70 and 3 dvd's for $60. And then they make them as limited as they were. What did they think? Maybe that the rich fans will buy them and the students, unemployed can only dream of them...

Thankfully they hit the torrent sites for the ones that didn't have the money to buy them during the few weeks they were available. I'm really considering of buying a backpack or something similar next time just to sell it for $1000 on eBay, to finance upcoming special edition sets...

p.s over a grand for a packpack on ebay is madness..

the problem also lies with those that bought it. i bought mine i want to watch it so bad but all i see is them going for 350 dollars now. do the math...thats a lot of oil for my broke ass, whose wife yelled at him for spending the 70 bucks to begin with...

so now, while there is all this crap about people who buy just to flip, i bought just to watch but 280 bucks profit in my pocket warrants at least thinking about selling it...


edit: im not selling, just saying that it is a lot of money to pass up....

does anyone know if 10C is even reading this or has replied to this? I would really like to know what they think about all of the comments on here. people are making a whole lot of sense out here about how there should have been more and especially about how unfair it is that the true fans have to go to ebay right now and pay inflated prices for something that was made for us in the first place.

they know. doesnt really matter now anyways; if they reproduce it, the value of the original ones will stay the same, because first print originals are always worth more. at the end of the day, the only wish is that 10c didnt underestimate the demand for it - but if they produced too many of them they would be stuck with the truckloads of bluerays that nobody wants.

there is some number cruncher that works for 10c that has data showing that a percentage of 10 clubbers buy all these merch so they produce to that number for better of for worse. if more people want that product later, say 1000 people want to buy it instead of the original 5000 they produced earlier, then they would have to pay a higher price to produce that blueray - so basically if there was a smaller rerelease it would cost more to produce, thus be higher to buy, thus eliminating the original demand in the first place.

I think it's time to step up our game. I still think it's unfair I have not gotten a response to any of my actual questions about WHY this release was so limited. I've tried here, I've emailed the Tenclub, left messages at Cameron Crowe's blog and sent tweets to the band's twitter and to Mike's twitter.

Maybe it's time to contact Tim Bierman (he runs the Ten Club) directly.

His Twitter is @10CTim. He hasn't updated it since September, but unless he changed his settings, every time someone sends a tweet to him he gets an email.

I suggest EVERYONE who wants this re-released, or wants to know WHY the Ten Club has handled this release like they have, tweet him.

an intern will just delete the emails for him
