i mean, the other sealed one actually did sell for 40K though! i wonder what this one will bring when the bullshit clears...

i can't imagine spending that amount of loot on ANYTHING, but the idea that someone would drop $40,000 for a cheap-ass video game is just O_O.

it's pretty much the same as someone dropping a ton of cash on a rare stamp or coin or something; thank god the rare record market isn't this absurd.

what did that Velvets acetate end up going for? like 75k wasn't it? and it doesn't get much rarer than that

Im tired of these joy bidders thats not willing to pay and are playing around do you know this is causing me money to list this up. I will only take serious inquiries and offers only now and will not answer anyone with a yellow star rating. The two highest bidders was little kids that are sitting on their butts with pepperoni face pimples that have no lives. Now if you guys want to really make a offer please email me an offer and i will answer as many questions as possible.

Mark G, Monday, 15 March 2010 16:48 (fourteen years ago) link

I'd buy that for a dollar

van smack, Monday, 22 March 2010 23:33 (fourteen years ago) link

well, damn. wouldn't the 78 be rarer though?

by another name (amateurist), Tuesday, 23 March 2010 02:52 (fourteen years ago) link

4 minutes to go!

sleeve, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 03:32 (fourteen years ago) link

Actually, isn't this too pristine/new?

I'm not doubting it's authenticity, more that half the interest in objects like this is the history of the item, not just the grooves themselves.

Mark G, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 10:21 (fourteen years ago) link

this guy keeps posting on facebook about how he's gonna sell this for $600: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270549887887&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

also, notice his feedback rating of 5. good luck dude.

i might start buying lots of 78s on ebay and keeping some/selling the rest-- yes or no?

ian, Thursday, 25 March 2010 04:14 (fourteen years ago) link

hey, i met a guy who used to be a part of the whole scary big time 78 collector buyer/seller crowd. he sold his entire collection. i could have listened to him talk about the 78 world forever.

78 selling can be a slog, i'll bet. you could make more money if you took a crash course in collectable classical vinyl. that stuff is still everywhere.

scott seward, Thursday, 25 March 2010 04:19 (fourteen years ago) link

if i start buying & selling classical vinyl i can pretty much say goodbye to my shelf space.

ian, Thursday, 25 March 2010 04:28 (fourteen years ago) link

There's no point having a shelf with nothing on it.

There have been malicious rumours that I sell stolen goods.

To protect my good name and reputation, I have documented below how and where I obtained the hanging chairs that I'm selling today.

Until January 2010 I had worked for one of Englands largest hammock makers for over 30 years.

Due to a misunderstanding at the 2009 xmas party I lost my job.

My boss's attractive 19 year old daughter having had too much to drink felt slightly unwell. So to protect her reputation I suggested that she should come with me to one of the upstairs offices to sober up.

Unfortunately while in the office she brought up most of the alcohol she had drunk and soiled her blouse and skirt in the process.

Not wanting her to get into trouble with her dad I suggested that she should quickly remove the soiled garments and said I would clean them in the washroom for her.

While removing her skirt, she slipped and fell over one of the desks. I immediately learnt over her to help her up.

At which point her father (My Boss) came into the office and got totally the wrong impression and sacked me on the spot.

About a month later, I was tidying up my bedside drawer when I found some keys to the warehouse that I had forgotten to return. So later that night (about 3am) I decided to return them.

When I got to the warehouse, I thought I'd better check if they were the correct keys (They were).

In the warehouse there were 100's of hanging chairs waiting for despatch to customers. Purely as a prank I thought I would hide them.

I hid them in my garden shed.

Now I want to return them, but I can't. My ex boss wouldn't believe it was just a prank. I haven't forgotten how he over reacted at the xmas party.

Now I'm forced to sell the bloody things on ebay.

incredible story. A+

four weeks pass...

I really want this. I don't want to pay $100+ for this (which it most likely will end up being), so I'm not even going to waste my time bidding on it. But damn.

good album

69, Thursday, 6 May 2010 18:01 (fourteen years ago) link

There's a Harvest twofer with that and Joy Of A Toy that might be a bit cheaper if you find it.

bug holocaust (sleeve), Thursday, 6 May 2010 19:52 (fourteen years ago) link

right but I assume van smack wants that because it's the first pressing? like you could get an early single lp edition on Harvest that *does* have the EMI logo for a lot less than that listing is going for..

Stormy Davis, Friday, 7 May 2010 03:59 (fourteen years ago) link

Van, Popsike has one going for around £33 recently, admittedly slightly less pristine than this one, so you never know...

Mark G, Friday, 7 May 2010 10:41 (fourteen years ago) link

Thanks for the heads up folks. I guess I could only dream that one day I could find a pristine copy of my favorite ayers album. Funds are tight right now.

van smack, Friday, 7 May 2010 15:53 (fourteen years ago) link

One day I will find it somewhere at my local shops...

I am super happy right now because somehow Ebay Gods were on my side this week and I just got the Users - Sick Of You 7" on Raw Records (RAW 1!) as featured on Killed By Death #1 for £9.99 (the opening bid) - was totally expecting to get sniped in the last few seconds but no-one else bid on it! It's in totally great condition! WTF! Woo.

fuck!@ just a week ago there were only $50-100 copies.

jaxon, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 19:18 (thirteen years ago) link

its always the summer of love on ebay. um, in the summer. all the kollege kids go surfing. there are people who won't sell stuff at all during the summer.

scott seward, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 19:37 (thirteen years ago) link

it's always funny when i sort of gamely big $50 or something on a record, thinking i'm going to splurge, and then the winning bid is like $500.

by another name (amateurist), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 22:39 (thirteen years ago) link

biD $50, i mean
