I'm not sure I get your point. Is this just a jab at my general lack of intelligence?

Too smart? If you're implying that everyone knows you can download a lot of things like this for free that's obvious. What if you want the real deal though? Nothing to do with smart or not.

Aren't you selling old imported bootlegs that were of unreliable sound quality, in the wrong order, mixed with other shows, packaged with subpar, stolen artwork, and generally so inconsistent that they gave rise to the Pearl Jam Bootleg program?
I'm not trying to burn you, but the stuff you're asking to sell is not, in any way, shape, or form, considered to be "the real deal."

I will still pick up an old bootleg now and then at a record shop. They tend to sell for around 5-10 bucks used instead of the 25-50 I used to pay in the mid-90s, which was a hell of a lot of money for a cd of unknown audio quality.
Some boots were well packaged. The "Home" Seattle 1993 and "Boundless" Washington DC 1/14/95 are examples. I think there is still might be a tiny market for what the OP is selling assuming the goods are priced reasonably.

Yeah that's a good part of it. To me, I think they are pretty neat and remind me of all the fun I had collecting them and listening to the shows. It was awesome when I was a kid. I get it, not all of them have perfect audio.

Fair enough. To each his own. To be honest I think some of the Pearl Jam official bootlegs are pretty terrible sounding. The first 2000 batch were pretty terrible from what I remember. I bought the entire box and remember being really disappointed in the sound. But whatever, I get what you mean. Depends who you are and what you want.

No, there are still some great shows out there that only exist on silver boots. PJ collectors have done a much better job at getting out sources but there are still like 10 Nirvana shows that only exist (in hard copy form) and at least 10 Soundgarden shows that only exist on silver boots.
Pearl Jam shows: Champaign 4/23/2003 Chicago 6/18/2003 St. Louis 10/05/2004 Portland 7/20/2006 Gorge 7/22/2006 Ridgefield 9/26/2009 Philadelphia 10/31/2009

Yeah, well ... I did buy one of these at Nice Price Books last year.

Is it that dumb? Dumb to me is paying for a compressed file that Apple has stored on their servers somewhere instead of paying for something that is actually tangible.

I'm sure he/she realizes that is the case. I believe they said "hard" copy. Some people actually prefer CDs to MP3s.
Well, how else would they exist in hard copy? It's still a confusing statement. I prefer CDs to mp3s too. But with FLACs I can make my own CDs that aren't lossy like mp3s.
