Insane ebay auctions - VINYL, tapes & merch

The final prices (especially the 2nd and 3rd EPs) are downright absurd. They've already re-released all the EPs on vinyl and CD. Why people are still forking that amount of money for the originals is beyond me...

Lots of people are willing to pay extra for original releases, no matter what.

ATTENTION!

My right toe tells me this is once again Laurent Piette in action.

Previously known as:
Eternity_in_the_dark
a_team666
flo26.07

Always uses the same tactic. Accumulates vast amounts of feedback in a short time with a mix of rare and not so rare items. Then, suddenly, he stops sending the items from his last batch of sold items and the account gets suspended. He has done this atleast three times in the past 5 years.

I'm not 100% sure though. But I know several people on this forum have been ripped off by Laurent in the past (including me back in 2007), and not only on ebay. So approach with caution...

Red raw and bleeding has never been an easy album to get (nor has Battlescarred), but it used to be cheaper. Way cheaper....
I won`t be surprised if that album is offered on eBay quite often during the next few weeks and sold for a similar price.

ohh come on, this is a 25 euros record, but 106 euros??? wow!!! If prices continue to increase for next year are worth the double!

I do not know if suddenly appeared new vinyl collectors or not, because a few months back here they give any high value for any record

Wow, that's a lot! I remember the times when this album was standing in the "garbage bins" for €1-5 ...

But great album (IMO), have this album in my car since quite a few weeks.

Seems like someone offered a pretty good amount of money so the seller ended the item early:

I emailed him within 9 hours of the auction starting to ask if he was accepting offers to end it early, and he didn't even reply. If he was willing to end it early, why wouldn't he have at least asked for my offer too? Weird.

I agree ending items early is lame and it's stupid for the seller; you're almost guaranteed not to get as much money for the item. If a person is offering $X to end it early, they'll bid $X if you leave the auction running, and other people may big > $X.

There have been several records I was interested in that closed early in recent months, which is why i tried contacting this guy right away. Oh well

One of those didn't sell on ebay a few years back for peanuts.

or other people bid less and you have < $X in the end. ending early is definite (and in most cases faster) cash without fees and shit
