    Well if it makes you feel any better, in lost dogs, there are more threads by idiots trying to unload these in lopsided trades than people actually in search of. The "price" will certainly drop

    Yup - and this rule is taken straight from the Lost Dogs FAQ:

    You can trade and set a reasonable price here for Pearl Jam memorabilia as long as the item is not available elsewhere on the site.

    Key word here = reasonable. Trade you my coke bottle Ten for Lost Dogs? Right.....

    * Flipping is buying items (from Ten Club or merch booth, etc.) with the intent to resell for a profit.

    Pretty much applies to all the people trading off their copy. Trading off what they don't even have yet...

    I don't think that word "reasonable" applies to trades. Only prices. If someone wanted to trade their house for a coke bottle Ten, I see no problem with that. In trades, the assumption is that both parties involved are happy with the exchange.
    I traded a sealed Sevens for a poster not worth more than maybe $120 a couple weeks ago. I'm the one who offered the Sevens for the poster. Great. The guy with the poster got a good deal, right? So if the guy with the poster had asked for a Sevens instead of the other way around, then he would be the bad guy even if I was happy with the trade?

    I think reasonable DOES apply to trades. Trades have a cash value. I just think it's pretentious for someone to think they can unload a $30 record that they don't even physically have, for a record valued at ~$200.

    I wouldn't mind so much if the same number of people were offering up their copies of Rearviewmirror or Lost Dogs to trade for coke bottleTen.

    It's lopsided in a huge, unreasonable way, but I guess if you're up for the trade then good on ya.

    If someone is willing to trade their Lost Dogs for one of these, isn't the trade "reasonable" to that person? What makes you the trade-reasonability police?

    And secondly, wasn't that "$200 record" once priced at $30 (or less)? How is it okay to ask $200 for that but not for this? People are rediculous. You only say that stuff because you wanted one.

    That $200 record was $30 eleven years ago. The $30 coke bottle Ten was $30....yesterday. Inflated and exaggerated appreciation shouldn't be what you value goods at. But if you want to, as I said before, have at it.

    And nope, I really didn't want one. I had the opportunity and I passed it up. No biggie. Just my opinion, as I said previously.

    Indeed it is a word. And again, without buyers, there are no flippers. Don't let it get ya down, bud. Talk about how rediculous the buyers are, not the sellers...

    I don't think it's no longer a thirty dollar record once it sells out. The value now is whatever some yoyo is willing to pay for it.

    I agree, and I don't think it's reasonable to expect people at 10C to adjust their work hours just so that people on the other side of the world are awake for their sales. 10C does these things live - people are at the warehouse releasing the sale and watching for crashes and answering questions, etc. They have regular work hours there, and they shouldn't be working super early or late because of the time zone in Australia. As mentioned, they are Americans in America working for an American band sharing the item with an American company. Those around the world need to live with that. You get the benefit when a band on your side of the world does the same thing (and I guess it's too bad for you if there is no band that appeals to you as much over there).
    I think the point that most of us in different time zones are trying to make is that a heads up would be nice, even if it was just the day before, that X item will be up for pre sale at X time in X time zone then people can adjust from there and its up to them then. From what I have seen through this thread, most people received their emails around 11ish am to 2ishpm in your time zone about 3ish am in ours. As someone else has alluded to, a few hours either side is manageable to a person who keeps regular reasonable hours.

    I fully understand the nature of your post and I certainly wouldn't expect 10C employees to operate outside of normal trading/working hours, but a few hours either side still puts them in that time slot if they choose not to send a heads up email as the current email notification system isn't working, not just for non US folk. I think that also due to size of PJs appeal and fanbase not just within the US but globally, I think it is a little myopic simply saying in your example that an Australian band wouldn't consider an overseas audience in releasing merchandise is not quite comparing things equally in terms of appeal and overall fanbase. Its comparing apples and oranges.

    I don't know. There is getting something you want and later trading it, then there is what amounts to scalping/flipping... which is the kind of thing most of us despise and not what lost dogs is for.
    Sure there are going to be a few people who do it... and people were good about at least calling them out on it. But now it seems like this has grown and is now a race to get LE items to immediately flip into cash or higher end stuff right here on the forum, which imo is not the spirit of lost dogs... not to mention you have so many people sniping items who don't really want them or have any intention of keeping, it makes it tougher and frustrating for those who want to buy and keep.

    What's the buffer when it's OK to trade? A month? 3 months? Year? When people actually receive the item? Who knows. I do believe there should be some tact. There used to be but it seems like the wild west has taken over, which imo will turf the lost dogs forum.

    I would rather these people just take it to ebay where I can't see it. At least if they are looking to "max out" and not do anyone any kind of favor.

    Just gonna clarify it for you - the presale has sold out. There will be copies available in the stores on April 15th.

    So yeah, it's still a $30 record.

    I understand the Newbury stores will. However by the time people buy a plane ticket and book a room, a $200 colorful ten will seem like a steal.

    I respect your opinion... But the problem with these limited edition releases is that you have no time to sit and think about whether or not you really want a particular item for your collection. You need to hit that buy button the second you see it or risk losing out. So if I decide three days later that the coke bottle ten is not essential to my collection, I should be free to trade it for another item if I choose. I shouldn't have to hold the record for three years before I get to trade it just for the sake of appearances.

    I do think people should act in good faith and not buy multiples of an item like the five copies Newbury was allowing people to buy. That is inconsiderate to other fans and taking advantage of the spirit of the trading community.

    I must admit... I'm more excited by the 1000 copy Strokes Is This It? release.

    At least I didn't have that one already on vinyl haha

    Plus gold and blue split vinyl looks so damn cool, especially considering the album cover.

    With a 5 per customer order, I'm surprised it's still available. I posted about it many day's ago. And that sweet Wu-Tang Clan vinyl. The exclusive colored vinyl's and signed goodies they have been offering over @ Newbury Comics are pretty freaking sweet.

    When RNDM's debut CD was released they sold signed by the whole band booklets & when Mad Season's reissue of Above, signed by Barrett & Mike booklets. Great to see an exclusive PJ item sold there. I hope there will be more to come. Can you imagine them offering signed Pearl Jam booklets?

    If something like that happens, there is tact. There are always a number of iso threads with pretty reasonable options.

    What gets me are those who quickly put up

    Thing like your scenario are fine, and plenty of iso threads with reasonable to good offers to ditch it behind the scenes.

    This is not what is frequently happening imo. People are monitoring/citing ebay auctions and calibrating their fs/ft threads based on those expectations to max out. I have also seen people admit they bought 3+. This is predatory imo. It used to be more widely frowned upon but it seems to become more and more tolerated.

    I don't think it makes their music suffer I just think that releasing something with new music on it would be better, I used to buy this stuff because I couldn't get it anywhere else. Owning rare music is more important to me than having a funny colored vinyl sitting beside my five different variations of the same thing. The xmas singles have been lacking, not a B-side to be found from Lightning Bolt, Sevens containing no new music and then they come out with a Reduxed Redux of Ten? I'm not even proud to own Sevens and I'm going to be completely bored when Reduxed Redux Ten shows up(the original Redux bored me honestly), it has lost its meaning.
    Wait, you ordered one? this certainly reads as such. If that is indeed the case a funny coloured vinyl that isn't important to you and will bore you is currently on order for you?

    Totally agree Paul. What percentage of people actually flip items? 5 to 10%? We re talking about a small minority of fans not the majority.

    Can't wait for the next limited edition release and the same thread that goes with it. We know PJ love to release a ton of mer h nowdays - some of it good, some terrible. We know a percentage of people will buy this stuff to flip/trade. Bottomline is if people are willing to buy something on the secondary market for $250 that cost an intital $30 2 days ago then the only people to blame are the people encouraging flippers.
