    I love how folks are freaking out over a $350 sticker price for the entire box set when Binaural alone was going for $300 yesterday. I think the price is fair and pretty much what anyone would expect for a complete Box Set these days. The Tragically Hip Box Set is going for $500 if that's more to your liking.
    So wanted to pick that up but will have to pass now. Too many new PJ goodies to pick up for this archivist. 



    Prices in Canadian, USA and Euros

    Some are freaking out yes.  It's just that as this is an American website driven by American business the currency exchange rate is often forgotten when considering others (to add to this, case in point is in this months 10c newsletter prize to be won - how many non-Americans will enter this contest?).  This is a nice boxset no doubt but to others not living in America the reissues of certain albums are a nice nod to the fans.  I for one am very happy that certain albums are now available at face value via the shop.  The shipping is what it is - I would rather pay the shipping via 10c knowing it gets delivered w/out a random unknown customs charge.

    People paying $300 for a record, may or may not be the same people paying a $800 for concert posters ..... either way they're both warped, or maybe they're just ahead of the curve...... I think it's the former.

    Point being, this record could only be had for $300 (approximately) yesterday, brand new. Now, they are letting you buy it for $25. They coulda just said if you want one, buy it off eBay.

    I'm more excited for the Super NES Classic coming out on Sept 29th. Nintendo said production will be greater then the NES Classic Mini's. We'll see.

    Had an empty box in cart. Couldn't pull the trigger when the shipping was close to the same price as the box. How much does the empty box weigh? It costed me $67.48 via UPS on purchasing the complete box set with records. 19 pounds! Shocked the postage was $43.99 (Standard International Shipping) or $44.17 (UPS Standard) to ship an empty box to Atlantic Canada. :(

    So a little confused. Buying this as someone showed on this or another thread today said CC charged close to shipping...

    RELEASE DATE 11/10/2017

    MOST VINYL PRESALE ITEMS MAY BE ORDERED TOGETHER*

    CARDS WILL BE CHARGED SHORTLY BEFORE SHIPPING DATE TBA

    However, my card has a Charge Pending Debit and is taking it from my available amount. Anyone else have this?
    Edit - I thought usually they take a $1 to prove card worked and the difference at shipping

    The $45 empty box sold out - that's hilarious.  Shipping likely pushes it to $60 - unbelievable :)

    You get what you see.
    That's what I think as well. Not sure why folks think there is some hidden Easter egg.
    Yup, the bonus is that it's complete and a limited set. 

    Nothing more I don't think but no harm in people dreaming and hoping 

    one sold already on eBay at $650 which is crazy but I bet that rises
    SLH should do a quick purchase from this seller....  
    Looks like 2 have sold so far......pretty sure there was nothing in the description about not being able to resell.

    Preface: This is not a dig on anyone who ordered the empty box. 

    I just thought this was funny.

    It is such a Pearl Jam thing to do to sell a literally empty box for $45 and its also such a Pearl Jam fan base thing to do to then have said empty box sell out.

    It depends on the merchant what amount is charged for a pre-authorization.  Pending authorizations will drop off and not post to your account, though.
