Look at ALL the auctions involving donnaz424... what the hell!

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Monday, 24 April 2006 21:02 (twenty years ago)

the fake bidding on memory sticks that have pictures of cats on the pages are pretty funny.

it's like he's dying to build up some positive feedback for that ONE BIG OPERA SCORE

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Monday, 24 April 2006 21:10 (twenty years ago)

Some of the pictures reveal covers that are EX to VG++ at best, so keep that in mind before bidding. There is also the claim above the description that the records are in fact "NEW".

― R3000, Monday, 24 April 2006 21:11 (twenty years ago)

actually it's maybe not a bad idea to hope that some psychotic, rich billionaire ebay addict will throw down for it. you risk nothing and possibly gain everything!

― gear (gear), Monday, 24 April 2006 21:28 (twenty years ago)

Well the seller has incurred some serious Ebay listing fees for those starting bid amounts (several hundred dollars, I would approximate) and in the unlikely event that there are psychotic billionaires trolling Ebay, I would suspect they might be more interested in a Hummer or a fake Faberge egg than a musty pile of Opera box sets.

I also like the several purchases of "ATTRACT WOMEN /STRONGEST PHEROMONE HUGE 1oz"

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Monday, 24 April 2006 21:47 (twenty years ago)

oh, donnazpaws.

that opera lp listing makes me sad... woman's mom has alzheimers....

― amateurist0, Monday, 24 April 2006 23:32 (twenty years ago)

Wait, so you think we should take that part of the listing at face value?

― r3000, Monday, 24 April 2006 23:58 (twenty years ago)

interesting, the opera seller is open to negotiations:

me:
Item: This is a must have for record lovers! (4867500661)
This message was sent while the listing was active.

i might be interested in bidding, but there's no way i'll pay $100 in shipping fees. a lot of ebay sellers try to rip off bidders by overcharging for shipping, you're not one of those people, are you?

donna:
Item: This is a must have for record lovers! (4867500661)
This message was sent while the listing was active.

No, Definatly not. If you you want to bid, I'll cut off the shipping price completly.

$800 buy it now.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 17:39 (twenty years ago)

if he is lucky to get that silly amount of cash for that qtsa record, he can afford new bed sheets. the one on the pic is just plain awful.

― superbadger (superbadger), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 21:30 (twenty years ago)

Well i've seen the green vinyl go for over $400. But i cant see anyone paying $800 for something thats a bit rarer. Then again you never know.
I wonder what the reserve is.

i initially read the auction title as 'outsider UK prog' and was enthralled by that idea

is that morrissey ep shellac or vinyl? (and it wasn't too crazily priced. i always thought it odd that the second smiths single always went for the prices it did despite being a big chart hit at the time)

― koogs (koogs), Thursday, 4 May 2006 07:52 (twenty years ago)

1) Vinyl 2) I'm just hoping, alright?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 4 May 2006 07:56 (twenty years ago)

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 4 May 2006 22:42 (twenty years ago)

Ha - no eccentric billionaire bites for donnaz424's 'must have' opera collection, so she's relisted - and upped the starting bid by another $150,000 ....

two months pass...

someone else, possibly two people, dumping their sarah collections on ebay, £51 and counting for sarah 1, £36 for London Weekend on vinyl, and, most surprisingly for me, £17.50 for Sensitive (which is available on *at least* half a dozen other releases. not that i'm complainig because i have a spare...)

― Koogy Yonderboy (koogs), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

London Weekend will probably go for at least £50, and Pristine Christine will probably fetch a ton. It doesn't matter that they're available elsewhere now, it's record collectors. Although Heavenly Vs Satan's Ebay value did drop a lot when the K records CD came out, to be fair.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 20:44 (nineteen years ago)

i wouldn't mind having the first orchids 7" on sarah, but as you noted, the tracks are readily available from LTM and... it's got a coffee stain on the insert! hahahaha
