Insane ebay auctions - VINYL, tapes & merch

On mine, one side is playable since I can press down the middle against the turntable. The other side isn't as the outer rim of the vinyl is bent upwards (bowl shaped).

Have you tried using a stabilizer?

Mine too.

That sucks...

Do they still play properly or are they way too warped?

mine plays properly. I have more 1 or 2 sealed copies that are warped like Titanic (then there was rock), Nuthin Ptitty ep, but this one is only on one side. Sealed copies are always a risk to buy, better ask to the seller to open it first, but many don´t do that.

No, not yet. I don't own one.

I have a Michell clamp and an Audio Technica record weight, neither really help with severe warps. You would need a periphery clamp (such as those sold by VPI) to really help, I guess.

Sometimes I think they are both one-person companies, and that one person is in charge of typing endless streams of meaningless standardized responses who are then sent to millions of members when they have questions.

In case you don't know, eBay bought PayPal several years ago, so they both are owned by the same corporation now.

dammit, this time it ended exceptionally within my limit and of course I forgot to bid

however, it was barely within so who knows if I would've gotten it in the end..

That would've not been a bad price, now I wish I would've been aware of this.

That's the same dude who sold "fanclub pressings" of the Zaxas EP and tapes and of the Solar Eagle demo tape earlier this year...

This line explains it all:

Raindancer 1987 / Metalreich Prod 20??

Hopefully most of the bidders do see that early enough and/or be afraid of bidding.

EDIT:

"This item has been removed"

sagrotan · Post by **sagrotan** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 9:30 pm

gone..

Little success for all of us, I would say.
In conclusion I'm pretty sure the seller is watching this board and removed it by himself or someone was dumb enough not to read the description and offer big money!

it's gone completely, not even visible via "comleted listings" which makes me hope that ebay did remove it and no one bought it outside
