Yeah! Actually it should put the price more down!

True. It mars the sleeve. I too prefer items without scribblings.

Re: the avatar, some people don't like autographed sleeves, but others will pay a premium for them, especially when one of the members has passed away. I'm not nuts about autographed sleeves b/c it's difficult to prove the signatures are legit. As such, I won't pay extra for autograpehd copies

The only thing I know about that seller is it's the same person as ebay bidder RANDOMCOILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He shits me 'coz he goes around outbidding everyone & then re-selling the same thing he's outbid those other bidders on...

i know, i know... there is nothing illegal about it but it really upsets me when i see him outbidding ME, and then reselling it for more than what i would have got it for.

i dont support him anymore, and i know a few other bidders who have stopped bidding on his auctions b'cos of this!

Was browsing through those expensive CD auctions and found this. Half a year ago a friend cleaned up his collection and send me a list, he had this one for like €5. I picked up some things but not this one...

Hahahaha! Jim was completely shocked by that first one when it was done! Im happy I have it already because the prices on the Dofka stuff is all over the place. Ive seen the LP for for $1 on ebay and $60 on ebay (although they were a long time apart). Awesome album either way.

This is a great example of why it's tricky to use ebay to determine a reasonable price for an album. Small things can make a big difference in how much people bid; do you know the seller, what country is the seller in (I hate buying from Canadians; I've had more problems with Canadian rip-offs and their postal service than I have with Mexico), do 2 numskulls start a bidding war, what time of year is it (in the US there seems to be less bidding in January due to holiday bills and in April due to taxes being due), etc. You really got to see several copies sell AND check the bid history to ensure 2 people didn't drive the price well above what most people are willing to pay.

Thats why you set a reserve to avoid what happened to that poor Frenchmen, to me its worth the extra money.

That insane current high bidder is a corroseum member you know

sovdat · Post by **sovdat** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 10:01 pm

Reserve - too high. But I have no doubts that it'll be reached, since it's bidderwars selling it

kreator72 sold it for $144 in september ...

Yeah, it's one of my top wants, great, great music, so much better than Fear of God that it's ridiculous

And the rarest from the whole price killers catalog, since only about 500 were pressed ... I guess that I'll have to stick to my bootleg CD for a little longer

By the way, one Dutch guy has it on his sale list too, for 125 eur
