For those that were there:
When Benaroya came out in 2004, did it create NEARLY the buzz Sevens did when it came & sold out? Do any of you recall the days following that release? Did it have a buzz on eBay like Sevens did??

My earliest recollection is from maybe in 2008 or something... when I saw a copy sell for $400-$500 on eBay and I almost shat.

    There was no Lost Dogs then. Not sure the forum search goes that far back?

    I checked the forum search in 2013 (before it went A-Wall.... speaking of which: can anyone tell me why I can't perform a search on this new layout?? it's just.... it's all weird when I try searching for something. Nothing comes up but a "Next" button and there are no search results. I even searched for "Pearl Jam" and nothin came up. Is this WEAL LIFE??) and the earliest i could go was 2008 I think. I was really hoping to see what was being discussed on here after that release. My gut says "not much" but it'd be good to read some personal accounts. Anyone care to chime in?

    Buzz was not nearly the same. The things didnt sell out for 2 days, ....what was Sevens, 4 hours?

    The Benaroya Hall vinyl is the reason there's so much hype around "limited" releases now. Everyone's looking for "the next Benny." (But it won't happen)

    I seem to remember it selling out quite quickly considering the value of records at the time. Not like today where it would have taken minutes, but I thought they were gone within 24 hours or so. $50 for a vinyl that most people couldn't play back then seemed like a big deal. I remember having time to debate and finally took the plunge. Best decision I ever made in regards to music purchases.

    The aftermarket on it took quite some time. Keep in mind back then everything on ebay was cheap becuase ebay still wasn't such a huge thing. It was more like a online garage sale as opposed to a major business venture for individuals to make a bunch of easy money.

    It sold out in half a day. Well, what I can remember ...

    Went on sale @ 2-3am Eastern Time. During my lunch break @ 11am, it was still available for sale. That afternoon it sold out.

    Vinyl has had a major resurgence in the past few years. It wasn't nearly as popular in 2004. It was very close to dead in fact. I think that would explain why there wasn't such a buzz when it came out.

    I remember it similarly, got mine in the afternoon and don't remember it lasting much longer than that.

    I remember I bought mine after class so it would've been around 10-11A in the morning. I seem to remember the site crashing as well although I might be wrong about that. It's not like it's that uncommon of a thing to happen around here so perhaps I'm wrong.

    I can't remember if there was any buzz about it either. At that time, I only had Vitalogy and Yield on vinyl. I found No Code on vinyl a few weeks later for $15.....siting next to Lost Dogs for $40. Got No Code but passed on LD. Can't win them all, I guess. Definitely one of my "you chose poorly" moment.

    I remember the option and settled on getting the CD as I didn't have the vinyl bug then. Also had no clue on how popular this would become. I remember only moderate interest in this, but I may have had selective attention since I was satisfied with the CD. I have both formats now thanks to our Lost Dogs forum.

    hahahaha! my mom scored this on dial up for me while i was at work. Wasnt the vinyl a 2005 release?

    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...
