    what strikes my attention about this ebay listing is that if anything happens, the buyer won't be able to open a case, since the 10C member who flips this item might not receive it rightaway, and the ebay buyer might not get ir within the 45-day period...




    Sure the buyer will. You have 45 days from point of sale to open a claim. Otherwise, you or I could make an item available on ebay for say $1000, but with the disclaimer, "wont ship for 45 days" and then pocket the cash. ive had 2 pre-order purchases in the past where buyer still didnt have or ship item after 35 or so days, I opened a case and won. Money will be withheld from seller's account the SECOND a case is opened.

    I'll say it again 'cause I feel that strongly about it and then I'll let it go:

    I'm guessing "flip" is exactly the reason these are sold out already. "Pearl Jam, the Investment Company you can trust"- if you're fast enough. This really ticks me off. It's like, if you really love vinyl you have to fucking watch this place like a hawk or shell out ridiculous bucks to flippers. If Pearl Jam really wanted to be innovative they'd make 45's affordable and available like they used to be. Now it's just trendy, shit loads of packaging, super limited numbers, flip flip flip, and has little to do with making good sounding analog available to those who love it. Bah! Fuck me.

    Amen, brother.

    I'm not a religious person, but I agree...

    full name and location shouldnt be too tough; should be some crossover there.
    What are you reporting for? I'm pretty sure flipping isn't against 10C rules. 10c won't stop their order if they aren't breaking any rules.

    I feel like the Ten Club has in the past forbidden certain items from being resold. Or maybe that was another band...
    Anyway, based on the other items this $400 seller is hawking, she doesn't appear to be a fan of the band. Seems more like someone who pays the $20/year to have the right to buy this kind of stuff. I could be wrong. Just an observation.

    Yup. Got mine. And I'm gonna spin the shit out of them :D


    Yea, me thinks the LP should have been a double. Not sure why they didn't until maybe now. Should sound better bc much more room for each song, correct?
    Precisely. The more grooves they can spread a song over the better the sound and detail. Which is why most audiophile nerds will tell you the best way to listen to a song is a 12" single, & I can attest to that. I have 12" singles of songs I've heard a hundred times on other media...LP, cassette, cd...it absolutely sounds the best when it's spread out on a 12". Next best thing would be a 10", then a 7", then an album stretched out on a double LP, then a single LP. These 7" will probably sound killer because the songs are all mostly average length. Can't wait to spin them:)
    I've got loads of LPs on one disc that sound absolutely fantastic. I've got one-discnLPs that sound better than some of my 2-disc ones. I'd way prefer a record to be on one disc (done well),than on two just for a completely negligible sound difference.

    Yeah, i'm sure you're right. We all know that there are some flippers in the club... not much point in getting worked up about it though (don't mean you are), since it's not against the rules of membership and a free market. I don't like it, but I can't really get mad about it anymore (used to but got over it since there is no recourse, and plus, I have been forced to feed the flippers plenty of times to get PJ vinyl, and in the end, it's the buyers you have to blame, not the sellers).

    Very interesting observation and one of the most sensible ones I have heard to day... this box set should had been on sale to analog members only in the first place. After all Vinyl is analog.

    I just read through all 18/19 pages of this thread.

    The first 8 pages are people complaining that its a cash grab, and there is no need for this item.

    Here comes page 9, the item sells out, and what happens?

    Everyone starts tripping about the fact that they didn't have a chance to order the item and its bullshit and a cash grab...

    What's even funnier is some of the same people saying that the item was crap, later admitted to purchasing one anyway (while bashing the item before it sold out)

    No ones ever going to be totally satisfied. It's 2013. We all have an opinion box in our pocket (cell phones for the slow ones) and with that being the case, we are never going to get a 100% agreement on ANYTHING.

    So I've learned not to give a shit what anyone says, and do what I want regardless.

    You all might want to give it a try. It will benefit your life immensely.

    Just another Sunday in Pearl Jam land.

    Im not too worked up over the re-sale aspect, mainly just over the fact that the seller doesnt have or might never have, the box set in question. the Pj fan club merch. policy does state that items purchased her are not intended for resale, but yes, in the end, it is First Sale Doctrine in effect and it is a free market. Seller could AT LEAST have had the courtesy to actually receive the item first though. oh well.

    Negative, someone bought it.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pearl-Jam-Light ... 20daf9f77e


    It is likely someone bought with the intention of not paying for it, but just did it to get it off the site. Or bought it to immediately leave negative feedback. be interested to see how it plays out.

    Not likely in my experience. More than likely the person has every intention of paying for and receiving it.

    It's 12 songs we've already heard but in an obsolete, super-hip medium! Just another vinyl monstrosity to sucker in the collectors. Pearl Jam knows it's audience. 7" of songs already released on an album? Come on...

    there is another thread about this box set and its possible availability on Amazon.com. I pre-ordered one from there about 2 hours ago and it went through. The page now shows it as being out of stock which leads me to assume these are not 10c specific, but perhaps 10c only had a very limited quantity to spread around. here's the Amazon linkl, which was open and active minutes ago:

    I got my email verrrrrrrrry late via Yahoo! (like usual), went on to buy it and it's long gone. When I first saw the email I just saw "pre sale" and figured it was like the Vault, but obviously it was noted as very limited….. not cool.

    In order to add insult to injury, I just got the email from the ten club, I don't know how bulk mail works, or if it is because of yahoo, but in the list of mails, it reads I got it at 10:56 am Buenos Aires time, but within the email says it was sent at 3:56 pm... but I got it just now, 9:25 pm...

    At least we know that they have the lacquer to press 7" vinyl and release real singles for real...

    Not sure if its a country thing, but my email came in at 12:09 and was sent at 12:09. I use yahoo.

    And my order was recieved at 12:30, but that's only because I was on the way to the airport in a taxi.

    It's not to hard to take 60 seconds to type in a CC number and your name and hit enter? Any average cell phone can navagate to the PJ website through an email link.

    The last part wasn't directed at you javis. I realize you had an email issue. I was saying that to those who said they couldn't check their email because it was Sunday.
