Unfortunately, the minimum bid is $999. If I hadn't just bought Benaroya I'd be all over it. Just can't justify that cost right now.

Looks to be in good shape

    that's a riduculous price imho. is that the one that claims less than 50 produced? i don't know production numbers for sure, but i've easily seen 200 of them on the bay in the last 10 years. every one of them been sold 4 times?

    Good question. I have no idea how many were produced but I've only seen it twice on e-bay and never on these boards or pjcollectors. To be fair, I'm never looking for the doormat specifically. But it would be cool to have at a more reasonable price.

    i wouldn't go any higher than a two or thee hundred bucks for a VERY nice one. there's a slightly worn one up right now for only 99 bucks....

    There were several hundred of these produced, and these typically fetch ~$200 (give or take) depending on the condition. They also show up on eBay every so often, and the guy asking $999 or best offer for his and claiming less than 50 were made is delusional to say the least.

    Sorry if I was missleading, the seller is not claiming that 50 or so were made. He's not claiming a number at all.

    Where is the one selling for $99? Is that on e-bay? I'm very interested at that price.

    There arent THAT many of them popping up lately, but they are around more often than you'd think.

    I'd say a worn one is going to be close to $200, and a perfectly new one maybe $300-$400? Its a really iconic promo and we all know PJ prices have been skyrocketing the last few years. There's no right answer either - I've been so wrong guessing values lately its an impossible thing to gauge.

    If you do want one, just dont pay $999 -- that is definitely insane. :lol:

    Back when Ten came out my buddy worked in a CD store and got a unused one of those from the Epic rep. He gave it to me and told me I could never sell it. I had it framed and hung it on my wall. About 7 years ago I met a fan named Cyndi Wright at a PJ gig.She made such an impression on my buddy and I in terms of her passion for the band that I asked my buddy if he was cool with me giving her the Doormat. I shipped it to her as a suprise. That was a fun item to give away.

    I had one shipped to me from the States a few years back. I believe postage was ~$30. It certainly is a heavy item.

    I've been looking for one of these for a long time. Been watching eBay for about a year now for this thing, and I've seen them listed for 300, 499, 550, 799 and 999. None of them have sold. If for any reason someone has one in good condition, I have a yield lp in good condition I'd be willing to swap for it maybe plus some cash to make it a bit more enticing.
