    [name calling removed]  whose only intent is to make money on the resale market.
    Most of us want one, just because it’s Pearl Jam and because we love Pearl Jam. It used to be that you could just buy one. Benaroya was in the store for a while because not everyone one wanted it. Same with beach towels and skateboard decks.
    Now, the resale price is a major factor. We see people buying up stuff to sell on EBay. It used to be we’d pickup an extra poster or shirt at a gig and sell it to our friends here in the forum for cost +shipping because strangers here were considered friends we’ve never met.
    i understand the draw, money, money, money. But, it doesn’t mean I have to like it.
    I'm happy to read about all of the fans here getting a copy, without having to feed the greed machine.
    Thanx, 10/VHC for selling me this at face value. I missed out on the Record Store copy because I knew that there was no fucking way I’d be able to compete with the resellers who spent the night at the store. But, I did get to see Mike play a T.Rex song that day, in my favorite record store. Which was good enough for me. This copy is an added plus.
    Thanx. Much appreciated.
    Benaroya was in the store?  That's crazy...before my time here
    Benaroya was is the store, but the website crashed that day due to traffic and you had to be really lucky to snag one. It didn't sit in the store at all it was gone as soon as the site came back up.

    Ridiculous that they can’t take preorders for this stuff and then make one for everyone who wants one.  I just checked my email and now it is sold out.  Hooray for the flippers!

    It was? What I remember was I  placed an order at 3am EST that morning and it was still available for purchase at 10am EST, 7 hours later.

    Pretty sure it was up for 24 hours, at least that’s he way I remember it.

    It was available for quite a while, and was limited to 1 per person.  I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to check your email, that sucks.

    I vividly remember having one in my cart and having to refresh since the site was crashed. It was a big deal for me since I had to secretly get on the internet at work and was very worried that I would get fired for it. Once the site started running smoothly again in sold our really quick. I got lucky and snagged one.

    The old laptop/messenger bag on the other hand sat in the store for months because no one wanted to drop $60 on it... Till it sold out the it started going for hundreds.

    Santos said something that it would be "available in about 60 days or so." I did some quick math and arrived at today's date. Seeing as it was the 10th and that's when stuff happens, I made a note in my phone for 1pm ET.

    Non-tour/album stuff happens here on the 10th at 10 am PT. Merch appears in the shop a few minutes before hand.

    A number of sales were made before 10am PT.

    My email was dated just a few hours ago and I don’t check this website but once a day so if it went up earlier than the email I was most likely not going to see it.
