    Paradise? It's all bootlegged stuff man. They are all selling / making profit using someone's image without any official consent. Why is it OK for them to sell these products on the street (especially @ this flea market) but if people here in Canada & USA make / sell a single shirt or poster, all hell breaks loose from Pearl Jam Co? I don't understand.

    because in mexico if you pay off the cops, you can do what you please.

    It is awesome to see that much PJ merch in one place like that even if it is all bootleg. But it is crazy that they get away with it.

    If I were there, I would have bought stuff.

    I buy plenty of authorized merch....the band makes plenty of money off of me.
    Maybe if PJ had something other than tshirts, hoodies and hats to sell at shows, this wouldnt be as much of an issue. The license plate frames, wristbands, bracelets, mugs....all things that if they were sold on pj.com, I would buy them.
    Makes much more sense...

    USA & Can are legal countries, you can't do this kind of shit and no way PJ lawyer would go at flea market in Mexico and bother with this, this is huge, it's bigger then a PJ, you just can't win here.
    I mean you have same stuff in Italy and they are part of EU and they do all the time this kind of illegal market for every freaking band that comes to play there and I love it.
    I know it's illegal and non official, but that wouldn't stop me to buy tonnes of shit.
    I support and I buy all stuff from 10c and from official merch at the venue but this is great too, I really don't care ;)
    CAN'T KEEP CRAZY MARY IN MY TREE NO WAY NOT FOR YOU. ALL THOSE YESTERDAY JEREMY is ALONE, SAD with RATS & BUGS it's HARD TO IMAGINE a JEREMY a BETTER MAN.
    LIFE WASTED, BLOOD on the PORCH, LAST KISS is a WISHLIST DEEP DOWN NOTHING AS IT SEEMS WHY GO COME BACK ALIVE SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE and SMILE.

    I agree
    They made a official bootlegs so we don't need to buy them of the street anymore and they won that game, now to win the war they have to make all this crazy official merch :lol::lol::lol:

    They can get a lot of ideas of that flea market ;)

    I would buy much more if 10C offered it. I would have purchased a few items, not so much the tshirts but the scarves, shot glasses and a set of pilsners would be nice. ;)

    It is awesome to see a lot of Pearl Jam merchandise sold at one spot, for sure. Hell I'll buy one of each item, maybe 2 from every vender there cause I'm a big Pearl Jam collector (and I would), but you gotta draw the line. I don't buy from bootleggers. My money is well spend on original official made products. Money that goes to Pearl Jam & their business associates. Maybe that's me! :|

    I agree completely. It's no different than the few guys that walk around the parking lots before and after shows trying to sell shirts, just on a much larger scale, and I avoid those guys like they're selling bad acid.

    But this would be much more tempting with so much to choose from and with it all being as cheap as people are saying it is.

    a former 10c member sent me this video and asked me to post it in the thread.


    so now you know its real


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX-v8kC-8n4

    Awesome video!!! :D

    I saw about 30 things that I want!!! 10C should stock all of this stuff, especially with ladies stuff :D
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    I saw Rob's pics on his FB...I love the PJ panties...they're just so funny!

    I'm with GiventoLukinKP...I'd buy pens, bracelets, mugs....I only have one very special PJ mug that a board member made. Would love a PJ20 one!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    holy cow. i just got home from work and watched the video.
    this is real? i can't believe how many vendors are set up out in front of the stadium hocking PJ merch with the band and management right there. I have never seen anything like this and wouldn't believe the amount if I didn't see the video. Is there a Mexico Ebay for all the stuff? No way that all sells as the supply is insane where all the vendors probably drive the prices down, competing against each other.
