    There were quite a few seasoned flippers in line. Had quite the operation running. Paying kids to sit in line, giving them orders for stuff, and holding a FAT wad of cash to hand to the kids when they ran out of money for all the shit they were buying him.

    I don't confront people very often, but I had to call this asshole out. And I''m sure he'll be there the other days as well pulling the same shit.

    Anyone we know? Share some info or a picture next time. Scumbags
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Maybe the people in front were just fulfilling the requests of all the people in this forum begging for shit?

    LOL, thats true too. All the threads with, "can you pick me up item XYZ while youre in line and I'l give you A"
    That stuff adds up too and is another form of fucking over others.
    "I can PayPal right away!"
    I doubt this happens very much (unless it's an awesome add in for picking up the item). I have asked a few times and nothing. Only ever picked up something extra for actual friends or charity. People buy extra to try and trade or flip or collect.

    As for limits, from working the Telluride merch booth - staff there just gets the stuff, their job is to sell it. There isn't PJ staff sitting there telling them about limits... In Telluride they decided to put a limit when they realized it was getting ridiculous, and then pissed of a bunch of people who were trying to buy more than one.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    But at some point wouldn't they overstock themselves? The issue is, hopefully PJ has enough inventory to flood the market. If they do this same amount Day 2, by Day 3 will the flippers who had unfettered access the first 2 days really need more inventory? At some point it becomes self defeating, as the 2ndary market is only so big.

    So, this all comes down to - how much inventory did PJ anticipate? I could see lines going down by Thursday, then pick back up again Friday when the real fans arrive. But, at some point the flippers tip their own economic model if there is enough gross merch to allow that to happen.

    This is really how PJ could break the flipping crowd - invest in a whole bunch of excess merch to make sure the fans get what they need first hand. It would probably be cheaper to do this than their Quixotic TM fight.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Not to burst any bubbles but pretty sure the person organizing the stoopes off Craiglist was a10C member as she had a limited edition PJ bag. She was handing cash to different people in line who didn't appear to be fans. I had an older couple in front of me who were getting money put on a debit card for them - it was obvious they were bought as they didn't speak English and we're getting very confused by what they were suppose to do/buy.

    The zenith of PJ merchandise ridiculousness.
    "Hey, listen asshole, one more fucker throws a fuckin' quarter up here and we're outta here, I'm tellin' ya, FUCKER! What the fuck, you're blowin' it for fuckin' everybody. Hit me with a fuckin' quarter again and, fuck it, I'm outta here. We're all outta here. Fuck you, and if anyone sees someone throw fuckin' change right next to them, you have my permission to beat the fuckin' holy shit outta them."

    Any pics of the jersey? those look kind of cool. From the flyer it looked like there were going to be 6 posters, do they not release them all at once? are some show specific and not have both dates on them???

    I've dealt with him before. He wouldn't come off a $25 asking price for a sticker a couple years ago. I bit the bullet cause I needed it and couldn't find any trades but he is certainly no fan in my book. He/she has been doing it for a while now.

    I wish just once they would make supply that would outweigh demand so these assholes would get stuck with all their merch that they are "buying for their friends."

    At this point it really is worth paying $50 to have someone wait in line for me. Maybe I'll post a Craigslist add tonight for Thursday. /sarcasm

    The merch team is fine with this otherwise they wouldn't have to adjust limits every tour. It is like they forget and then a few hours later adjust the limits after it is too late.

    Forget? You have 5 days of merch, you didnt forget, its by design.

    So they don't limit poster purchases? I recall as far back as the '00 Great Woods shows being told I could only get one poster when I tried to pick an extra up. Maybe I just got the wrong person behind the table.

    2003 - 4/29, 6/18, 6/21, 7/2, 7/3, 7/11
    2004 - 9/28, 9/29
    2006 - 5/12, 5/13, 5/24, 5/25

    should have posted his name on here. he's got 3 patches up for $100 too. looks like he'll have 2 of each up before too long.

    Why is everyone so upset???? This isn't new. It's no longer about music, it's all about merch. If you miss out on some baseball cards and pay a grand for a box online, then you're only making this worse by feeding the beast. Enjoy the music, you don't need to buy $750 worth of shit at the show.
