    Did you buy it to play it? If so, as long as it's in good shape and doesn't skip, it doesn't matter if it's sealed.
    You paid the going rate, if you wanted to own it, that's unfortunately what it costs. Forget what you paid and spin that shit!

    Pricey....but yeah, just buy a few less beers at the bar the next couple times you are out and that makes up for it. That's how I rationalize EVERY damn poster/vinyl/concert purchase I make. :D

    Ha yep, that's the plan. A little wine and leftovers for me tonight! That's a good price for yield btw. I grabbed my favorite, no code a little while ago for 100. I guess put em together and I've paid 170 for each. Yikes! You've all helped to make me feel a little better though, thank you!! ...now I've just gotta take care of the gf :roll:

    Enjoy it, brotha! I love that album. Wish I had it on vinyl!
    I've been fortunate enough to see Pearl Jam live.

    I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan

    Owning inside job on vinyl and hearing that makes it all worth it.....a few years down the road you'll look back and be glad u own it!! I spent a lot of my pj vinyl collection and questioned myself as a sane person for spending that on vinyl but looking back I'm glad I bought what I got, I wouldn't trade it for anything!!! Can't believe what this album goes for....I bought a sealed copy about a year and a half ago for $150, but its along ways from being reissued so be glad u got it!
    Cant buy what i want cause its free....

    I am pretty sure lots of them had dinged corners so if yours doesn't have that it could be even better than some sealed ones. Mine have differing amounts of small corner damage. If you don't have that you are doing even better because of course you want to play it anyway.

    I justify my recent purchases by saying I saved a lot of money not going to the US this year...
    Should be able to afford a Benny that way too right? ;)

    I paid $250 for mine unsealed. It came in mint condition. The packaging is pretty badass.

    I know how you feel! I have been a little too trigger happy this month - found a sealed No Code for £150, un-played but not sealed Yield for £120 and a sealed Lost Dogs for £220. I am truly skint now and felt sick after buying each one!! I am somewhat shocked that my girlfriend has been so understanding!
    So, in short - forget what you paid for it. Spin it loud. Enjoy it!!

    haha! Well, she was in the shop with me when I bought No Code and I had to get her to bid for me on eBay for the Lost Dogs vinyl as it ended whist I was riding home! She was even good enough to buy me a mint copy of Mirrorball from the same shop I got No Code. I put up with her buying an endless stream of shoes, she puts up with me & my vinyl expenses! I'm hoping she'll understand even more after seeing PJ in Berlin next month! (her first time!)

    Its expensive, but people have spent that on a single concert ticket, one time use of 2 hours of music. You can play that album over and over and over.

    Totally agree! I'm thinking I'm gonna have to spend the same pretty soon for this. But have definitely spent more on concert tickets.

    Going to see the British GP F1 in a couple of months - and that's £400 a ticket! ($672!!) For a two hour race! :)

    So by that rationale, I think your Avocado is well worth the price. :)
