Sorry, but had to post this baby in the main forum, but please move as you see fit.  Thanks first to another user (not sure if they want me to use their handle or not) and thanks to eBay.  You know me, had to open one just to make sure.  So sorry, but as of this moment all copies are spoken for.  There are now 11 confirmed copies.

I feel beyond lucky to have stumbled up just one copy of the alternate a few months back. This completely trumps my find!  hihi

Is the inside booklet different? Or just the cover?

OK, so here's the full story.  Another forum member advised me of the ebay listing.  Don't want to say who because then everyone will be pming/emailing that member with all kinds of messages.  So my original post and what I just wrote here should tell you that these were not from Bestbuy.  And if you look closely you can see hole punches in the top left corners.  They do this sometimes with promo and/or discontinued items. 

As for why this never got released on a massive level I have no idea.  Hopefullly one day we'll get the answer to that.  For the few people that do have these cds a lot of it is just luck.  I asked the seller if they had any more and they said no. 

I will try to get more info about these cds from the seller.  I realy don't know why I didn't try that already.  He was selling 8, one was purchased by someone else (who I have no idea), the other by the forum member that poinited the listing out to me, and the rest by me.  I bought them all because I did not want someone else buying them and then price gouging the shit out of the rest of us by relisting on eBay for hundreds or even more.  Yet at the same time I could totally understand if someone did this.  I mean, imagine if you went to a record store (like Amoeba Records where another forum member got theirs), and saw it on sale for $5.  And let's say you already own a copy.  Would you tell them it's worth hundreds?  No, you would probably buy it and then sell it on eBay for a profit and really, what's wrong with that especially in this economy these days?  In my case I know people who want one, hence why my OP said that are all spoken for.  But, to satisfy curiosity, here's the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220817274599&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I think you can see why no one saw this listing.  With shipping, it came out to about $13 a cd.  In the end, I hope there is a warehouse somewhere with a ton of these so one day we can all get a copy of it.  Keep searching, and if the original plan was any inidication, there may even be a third alternate lurking about...

Thanks to Esteban for posting the pics.  For more pics you can go here:

The hole punches in the left corner is usually a clear indication that this was a test run (test print) for approval and didn't make it in the end.
Still puzzles me why the version we all have made it though, typos & unapproved by GN'R !
