Here Today... Gone To Hell!

(http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae47/axlrosecalifornia/Guns.jpg)

Its not a big collection, but i thought it was cool the way all the colors shine and all the covers.

It will get bigger and bigger i can promise you that :hihi:

I forgot to put up the Live in Chicago dvd oops :rant:

nice

Damn i forgot the books too :rant: :crying:

I do believe im seting a good example though. When i first got into GNR my cds were all burned cds... I loved the band so much that eventually i bought the whole original collection of albums and some bootlegs. Im also buying them all in SHM-CD format

wheres the vinyl?........... Every collection needs lots of vinyl : ok:

I don't buy vinyl. Don't have the stereo for it. Ill probably buy ones of those vinyl discs inside a glass cover to put on a wall though

i do hope it will be a legit disc and not a cheap reproduction   : ok:

It is believe me

i suddenly feel old.........
My gnr collection started with vinyl, in 1988, AFD original as gift from my grandparents, i was 11.........

Had lots of lp's allready, but, then i got into GNR some more, now, not so much anymore, still collect the vinyls, but listen more to my older love, Heavy-Metal.............

Anyway, a "my-collection" topic could be nice?

Definitely! Bring it on!  :beer:

It's kinda hard to see but:

At the left there's a frame with pictures and tickets from 2006

On the upper shelf from left to right: dvd's, singles, 2 mini books, vhs and a model guitar.
On the lower shelf bootleg cd's from 86-2010.

On the wall to the right I have the banned appetite fro destruction and uncensored gn'r lies framed.

I also have some books but not on this picture :)

(http://www.doublevisiondesign.nl/huis/drie/content/bin/images/large/14.jpg)

There's my chinese democracy collection (and above it other gn'r albums).
I also have chinese democracy framed with an golden disc next to it, but don't have a picture of that..

Oh, and I have a big ass 2006 touring poster:

Damn! I fucking love your house!  :hihi: That computer screen from Apple is really nice!

and where did u get those cd boxes? they're really cool : ok:

I just bought a new bootleg cd to add to my collection... i thought the cover was really cool and marks the infamous "Leak era".

Its funny how much of an impact the "Leak Era" had on the media, bootlegers and of course even the band!

Its certainly a mark on Guns N'Roses history, whether its for the negative or positive. Anyways heres the bootleg:

Im sorry for the quality of the pics, but the material on the digipack is not the best, and it seems to get worse everytime i put a different flash.

haha thanks.. Unfortunately I don't live there anymore :(
They're just regular cd boxes, I got them at V&D (a dutch department store)

since we are all sharing pics and shit: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/annsomm/gnr1.jpg?t=1272367178)

haven't bothered picking up the CD vinyl yet due to alot of bug reports bout the initial pressings

I never use my vinyl copies anyway.. I like your old school cassettes :)

I love looking at other peoples GN'R collections, it's amazing just how much is out there. I have an impressive collection myself, but the things that mean the most to me are the items I have collected travelling to see GN'R. Like ticket stubs, confetti, Robins Bottle, t shirts, Keyrings and other various items from the country I may have visited.  ;)

Nice stuff guys.  : ok:

know what you mean :P
i still have my ticket stub from 06 + red and white confetti part....lost my blue piece :(

I held that confetti stuff a couple of times, wondering if I should keep it or not.. I ended up throwing it away :)

Haha.

But also I like to keep all of my recordings and photos, like what I have taken on my Nokia N70 (Good Quality). Each GN'R show I have attended, I have a folder with all the video and photos I had taken. I have backed them up by disc, and also by uploading them online. I plan on getting a USB stick and also an external hardrive sometime in the future.

I think it's a nice thing to do on top of collecting tickets, t shirts and various other things.  :)

I only take a few pictures every gig, I try to enjoy the show as much as I can ;) But I do hope somebody bootlegs every show. It's indeed very nice to have recordings from a show you attended :)

where's illusion dvd?  ;D nice collection anyway

I have the brazilian bootleg ( yaaiiiks lol )  :rofl:

Couple pics of the jackets. Nothin' too special.

what about this cd roots of guns n roses? is it good?

I've listened to it twice, still nice to have though

I have both cds. Of the roots of Guns N Roses, they're both worth buying. its not as good as the rapidfire demos but its really cool. I love how the songs were played so fast. Love shadow of your love, never understood why they left this song out of lies.

nice, I think I'm gonna buy one copie for me too, but, btw, how much you paid for Axl Of Evil and Santiago DL DVD bootleg?

15 bucks each.

Axl of evil is a bootleg with Rock in Rio 2006, Santiago 1993, vmas 2002 and Paradise city from the wembley stadium 1992.

The other bootlegs i have in the picture are:

Santiago 1993 - features the whole Santiago show tv source and it brings 8 songs from The mYriad Arena show in Oklahoma in 1993.

GNR 2006 - Features Rock in Rio 2006 and Rock am ring 2006

Guns N'Roses Welcome to destruction - Features the infamous Riot Gig in St.Louis 1991, the show and the post riot, and it brings a report written on the inside of the cover, explaing what happened.

very cheap, here I can get this for 40us each =\

HI EVERYONE!

very nice collections!
This is my list of all the silver bootlegs I have collected till now: http://amonmat.webs.com/gnrcollectable.htm

DAMN! i would love to have that bootleg  :crying:

 ;D

Yes it's a very good recording!
Check my other stuff: http://amonmat.webs.com/gnrcollectable.htm

so you know the rapidfire demos?  :hihi:

about the "INGLEWOOD 07.30 - 02.08.1991 - SHADES RECORDS"-discs:
the taper was so nice to torrent quality transfers from his masters on DIME some months ago, and those are the best quality sources we will see (AND FOR FREE!!). all other copies, pressed with nice covers or what ever are just lower quality rip offs from the masters and cost you money.

Yes,
I have those versions but I like to have them on silver discs,
anyway if I decide to sell them I will get a lot of money...  ;D

its unfair for the band you're fan from to even consider making money with unauthorized recordings of them, dont ya think?
but i see that you fall into the "i-dont-care-about"-category supporting bootleg sellers.

I don't support bootlegs sellers,
bootlegs for me it's a passion but if in a future I will need some money I can sell them as other people do with their collections.
A lot of post here are about selling collections...

Yeap! They're awesome, they were gonna come out in a cd, but they didnt win the court case, so they tried to leak it but they werent able to and they gave it to one guy who eventually sold those demos to me and i believe 2 or 3 more people.

bullshit!

from 5/2007:

"Dear Axl fan,

I hope this answers your questions.

I an sorry for the huge delay in releasing the Rapidfire 1983 Demos.

My attorney has been working with Axl's attorney for some time now trying to come out with a way to release these demos which is acceptable to Axl.

Regardless though of what he wants, the law states that I can release these at any time and have the full legal right to do so. Because at one time (and if I ever spoke to him now) I considered Axl a friend, I am trying to work beyond the scope of my legal rights with him, out of my respect and admiration for him. Regardless though, if in the future he chooses not to cooperate, the CD will come out commercially. Once again I am sorry to all of you for the delay, but the legal process moves very slowly.

Thank you for your e mails and patience. Please scroll down and send me an e mail if you would like to receive an e mail when this releases.

Sincerely, Kevin Lawrence"

Well thats what iv been told by the guy who sold me the songs. and i do believe my source. Otherwise they would have came out by now.  Nonetheless the tracks are great and whats amazing about them, is the quality of such old songs being perfect! It seems like a new album that just came out in 2010 or something

uhm, hope you're not playing games. can you at least back-up this with a sample (with Axl singing)?

No im not authorized to share demos, whether its the rapidfire demos or cd era demos or whatever.
I spent thousands on them and i gave my word

so you just cant back it up!
a small snippet (with Axl singing) is not like sharing a whole song. you openly speak about them and also say you've paid thousands(!) for but refuse to do like a 20sec-sample? dont know you but what i know for sure is that the gnr fan community had to deal with similar things over the last ~9 years often and it mostly turned out not being for real. so....without any sample, too hard to believe, sorry.

I understand what you're saying, but you asked and i answered. I dont need anyone to believe me.
Im very happy with what i have but im not gonna share it. First because im not authorized to do so, then because i gave my word and also because its illegal to put them on the internet.Im just keeping it to myself. Dont have anything to prove to no one and dont need to...

i only asked because you decided for whatever reasons to talk about in the first place (see your quote ^^above). common thing for rare stuff like that, huh?
about the illegal thing....well, its not officially released so i dont see that point at all.

but yeah, here we go again: "i have this and that but am unwilling to prove anything"....

so what if i mentioned it? does it mean i have to explain myself to you... i dont owe a damn thing to anybody and if i decide not to share it, its my decision and my choice.
I dont owe you or anybody and i certainly dont need the approval or for you or anyone to believe me.
Im sorry dude, im not trying to be harsh, but i have my reasons

as easy as that:
you talk about things nobody here seems to have and how great they are -> people get interested in and ask some details!

and then you seem to get pissed and refuse to create samples. as said before, gnr fan community had this stuff a lot before so we're kinda used to it.

now what about giving some other details, for example complete lyrics to one of those songs or so?
let me guess: "i'm also not allowed to do this, i'm not to allowed to give out any closer info at all, i gave my word, and off course i dont owe you anything! but the demos are outstanding!!"
if thats the case (and i'm hell sure it is again!) you're just one more of these talkers and chances are very very high you're not having the items described.
its not hard to prove something you do have but its hard to prove something you dont have.

Ok.. im gonna repeat it. I dont have to prove anyone to you or anybody, i just said they were awesome, does that mean i have to post a sample or a clip or lyrics? No..... and no im not gonna do it.
Anyways my last post about this.

Are the Rapidfire demos even that good?

Talking quality wise and all that.

Cotis, this is what  "Halo69" said about the (original eight-track-format) demos from May 25, 1983 he secretly bought for thousands ( ;)) of dollars:


so they are sooooo fucking awesome but no more info allowed because he/she doesnt owe us anything. but they are killer  :rofl:

i'll quote myself again:

I dont mind answering, i hope the conversation doesnt drag up from here like it did in previous posts.
Anyways the quality to me are quite amazing considering they were demos from such a long time. They sound kinda like the greatest hits album remasters, but the songs themselves sound like the songs in Lies.

Picture of my BOOTLEGS collection, Lp's not included, I will post them..

A LOT OF NEW RARE STUFF IS COMING!

you have an awesome collection, how I told you, I love bootlegs, the best part of a collection  :hihi:

this kinda hurts, cause i could have bought most of these bootlegs 2 or 3 years ago.however at that time i wasnt really interested in them cause i could just download them. I even saw some of those big boxes.

I might just go to my store, and they have 2 bootlegs now that i might be buying. The reason i didnt was because of the sound not being that perfect

Me too..
If I have bought all the bootlegs I have seen in the past, now I could have a bigger collection..

I started buying bootlegs 6 months ago and I only have 30 cd boots

I love bootlegs - I grew up listening to the Ritz bootleg without knowing how famous it was until I found it on video and was AMAZED by the fact that it's the same show.
So, I love bootlegs and I'm willing to pay for them but now it feels wrong because I see some guy sharing his stuff online and next thing you know it's up for sale with a pretty cover, pressed on a silver cd. I don't mind buying old bootlegs, that's cool, but buying NEW bootlegs of OLD shows - that's just rip off.

about buying bootlegs I prefer The old show with the original line-up,
I don't like new shows..and I rarely listen to new "Gn'r"

the reason i only get boots on vinyl. Ok, some are made multiple times, like the ritz, and a lot have poor quality, but they are harder to make, so more rare and, well, vinyl just does it for me.
However, now, it's only the good shows, quality wise i want, most of the rest is gone allready, sold through to other collectors. but, then again, they still know they have the real thing, not a copy or so.....

I hear you, that's why I bought a new (purple) vinyl called "Unplugged" with a shitty cover art and a lousy sound - even though I have an old school KTS cd with the same shows : /

How's the quality of those bootlegs (the inglewood series from shades records). Since we're talking about bootlegs "original masters" doesn't say anything. I have those shows but the quality isn't that great.. And since one of those shows has an amazing setlist I'd love to get my hans on one with b+ or higher quality :)

The quality is very good, I can say A-..
They have the same quality of "Revolution Calling" Bootlegs

i cannot wait till u up that set or do u have both the other 1 is 3;36 end . does not matter it will be cool of  you to upload

I call 100% bullshit on anyone owning the Rapidfire demos outside of Kevin himself.

AMONMAT - how much you paid on Parental Advisory Explicit Content? a guy wanna sell this one to me for 35 us including shipping

do it i paid $45

I have payed it the same price... about 35$
It's a very good bootlegs and I think it worth the price, when it was just released and put on ebay it reached more than 70$!

na na, he said he has bought them for thousands and that they are great  ;D
he refuses to upload a sample or give any further info.....so off course he has them  :hihi:

why you dont forget this? I particulary dont care about it, if you can not have such a thing, the best thing to do is forget

its everyone's decision for themselves what to do, isnt it? he decided to post this crap, you decide to forget about but still post about it giving advices for others what to do with? eh....

so talk about this shit out of this topic, as you can read, here is to show his collection.

this discussion has been about a "part" of his very rare collection he calls to have, so this should be ok.

I bought it today.

I went Shopping today and for 35 bucks i got these 2 bootlegs!

Guns N'Roses - Parental Advisory Explicit Content Bootleg

(http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae47/axlrosecalifornia/img067.jpg)

I also found 2 Vinyl bootlegs, one was called "Nightrain to Nowhere" and it was basically the Ritz 88 Show on Vinyl, and the other one was called "Wild Horses" and it was basically a compilation on Vinyl of all the covers GNR did in the 1987 - 1993 era.

For those who collect Bootlegs, do any of these Vinyl releases worth something?

I have nightrain to nowhere, it's only the Ritz show. And about theses cds, I got parental advisory now, and you got each cd for 35us or both?

Both.

Bad Obsession cost me 20 bucks and the Parental Advisor one cost me 15 bucks.
I buy it at a store close to my house. Sells pretty cheap silver bootlegs. "Nightrain to Nowhere" was there for 15 bucks. And they had a bootleg called skin and bones or something, but the bootleg has the same stuff i already have on another cd.

My WANTED list of Bootlegs now :

- Banzai card sleeve
- A good bootleg of Paris 1992
- Ritz 88
- Argentina 1993
- Unwanted Illusions (i could have bought this a while ago  :crying:)
- Rock in Rio 3
- Rock in Rio 1991

If anyone has any of this silver cds bootlegs and wants to sell them ill be more than happy to buy them at a fair price!  : ok:

I have 4 that you want but not to sell  ;D

yes, very cheap bootlegs, I got my nightrain to nowhere copie for 40us red vinyl

if u have any doubles we can trade

i'll trade them with you for a copy of the rapidfire demos you claim to have  ;)

My bootlegs vinyl

(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/103/dscn1234ke.jpg)

Im pretty sure you have better things to trade than bootlegs, but lets just leave it at that ;)

i agree mate, and i also agree that f he has them he should post a small sample clip or something to prove he has them.
why say he has them and then refuse a sample?......thats not how things work where i come from  : ok:

if people wanna start games by saying "look what ive got" etc etc then at least back it up  : ok:

i was just kidding, i dont have anything

More Items coming!  :hihi:

nice stuff.....but my spending money on bootleg days are over long time ago :P
don't even know where my 30 or so boots ended up now xD
only boot i'd actualyl pay money for now is the Reflexion boot released on Vox Populi in 91.....
best fuckign bootleg ever, it's the ritz show with rosie and shadow as bonus tracks.....i've had the daamn thing for 18 years now but the KOHD track is so fucked up by scrathes that i need a new one :P

I used to have that one, but thought the sound wasnt so good.

i think it's great =D
a cd that sounds kinda like a crackling vinyl....gotta love that....
just have to get me a new copy.....also the one other boot i still have in my collection is silent shots....same show, only no bonus tracks on that disc.....

I could have bough that one, but at that time i thought the cover was rubish and left it at the store (dumb move)

have to agree.....that cover looks way to shitty and cheap, but the sound is a bit better than on Reflexion....but somehow, i still love Reflexion....first ever guns album i bought xD
got it for like 10 off a dude couple classes over me, and the week after my grandma ordered me AFD  :beer:
so mostly it's the memories i wanna preserve =)

I see. Ritz 88 i like the one with Axl far away on the cover with the microphone. I think its called one night at the ritz

i have 26 different cd's of the ritz i have not listen to any in over 4 years

here it is:

(http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/7126/dscn1065f.jpg)

I could have gotten that one too, but its not that one. Its one that has a view of Axl sideways with his microphone and its a picture of the actual show. I think i confused the name.

This is the one i want to get : http://toirock.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/live_at_the_ritz.jpg (http://toirock.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/live_at_the_ritz.jpg)

live like a suicide on cd is a bootleg too.....

the Live EP is an official cd, rare, but out there to grab. The bootleg cd of LLAS is very rare though

Japanese 3 inch cd in normal jewel case, think Tim has it on his site?

Yeah im probably not gonna be able to get those 2. The live from the jungle ep is very expensive in my opinion, i have the cd downloaded and the tracks there are not worth spending 100 euros on it.

I would give in maximum 55 euros for the Live from the Jungle EP so im probably not  getting it.

The live like a suicide ep boot, i would probably give 60 or 65 euros but not more than that either. So those two.. are like.. if they come around close to that price ill buy it if not.. oh well

The Live Ep i have on vinyl and cd, cd was for sale, prices went close to 100, then i realized, damn, so, now, i have traded it instead, for some great Slayer Picture Discs and boots (9 in total)

I think about 50 euro for a good copy is a good price though, they are rare. The other one i think would be a lucky find in the first place, and for that price? i doubt it really.

Not that i am an expert, but i have been monitoring auction sites a few years now, and that shows up very little.

True, and thats why im probably not buying it

I can get the Last American Hero with a friend new but the price is not so good, 90us   :smoking:



Anyway, I have the Reflexion cd, it's good but I don't listen

Im gonna get all the gold australian signed cds and the last american hero 1991 for 155 euros aprox.

So you're the one who bought this?:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Signature-Edition-Guns-n-Roses-CDs-more-/120578053946?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Audio_CDs&hash=item1c1303173a

damnit :P looks like i'm loosing the Illusion gold thingys with the coma shirt xD
oh well, if i lose em i'll find some other stuff to spend money on  : ok:

Well to be honest, i dunno anymore, there has been some complications. i told the lady who's selling that i would give 220 au dollars for only the signature cds of appet~ite, illusions and lies and the last american hero bootleg. and that would include postage.
and that i would buy the rest of the bootlegs i dont have next month for another 50 au dollars. Which to me seems like a great deal! But now the winning bid is for 174 au dollars, and im not sure if shes selling it for that price to whoever made the offer. I cant believe it, if she accepts that, Im giving much more money!

Im really sad though, i really wanted the signature gold cds  :crying:

fuck yeah: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220616422000 & http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370391139486

have no idea what to get next xD

Nice price! Congratulations! I was actually try to bid on that but since i already have Use Your Illusions  about 3 times, i felt the 4th time has to be the shm-cds and thats all  : ok:

good point :P
i currently own 4 versions of both illusions albums xD

Yeah, im about to own 4 as well i guess lol we're such Geffen pleasers. We keep buying all the shit they put out haha

this is the goal of a collector

true! but im only collecting a couple more things and im done

You do know that there's also a TSI gold signature cd, no?

 :rofl:
you gonna make us spend more money now troccoli?
there are still some UYI promos that i might end up buying just for the hell of it :P
i actually find collecting xtremely hard to get items more fun than just collecting a little hard to get items :P

the fun of collecting is the "hunt". owning the items is not even that cool, that is why i stopped collecting all there is.......

Yes, it seems like im not gonna get this thouh, even though iv made the best offer :no:

Well looks like i lost the items... :rant: This is not fair... i made the best offer, the girl is gonna sell the signature cds for 174 au dollars, i offered 220 au dollars. Also i told her i would buy the rest of the lot after, but she told me she had someone that was willing to give 150 au dollars for the rest of the lot and thats why she didnt sell it to me.
No way im paying 150 au dollars for cds like Duff's album, Contraband and bootlegs that i already have... :confused:

Today I just got 4 new digipacks dvds, including this one that you have ('06), nice artoworks and etc, the only thing I didn't like was the cd that is write Way Of Wizards xD

pics please

nice!! I have the 2006 one and another version of the riot show. I dont collect dvds because they're too expensive in my store, they're 25 euros each.

very nice dvds!!!

that's what I paid, 25 euros each, but they are all new, never used, I buy with a friend of mine that get a lot of boots

i like to buy cds instead, i get tired of watching dvds, I might buy one or two just with the shows i like

as a matter of fact, if everyone is interested in my Axl of Evil dvd ill sell it. Ill post pics if you're interested

I dont buy dvds a lot, I prefer collect cd boots, but when some dvd appear, I get

true, i have about four silver dvds and then the Hammerstein 2006 nights, Rock In Rio 3 and Live In Osaka 2009 and thats about it

I dont own a lot too, only 10 silvers. A lot of downloaded dvds I do not count

My newest addition: Guns N'Roses Rock In Rio 2 disc set

More to come!  : ok:

Nice

I got two new vinyls and one cd, later I post pic

vinyl images are so welcome here, serious, the more the better

If all goes well, i might be getting nice new stuff later aswell, spend big again...... :-X

(http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/7237/dsc05621w.jpg)

Nice! That accoustica cd looks good!  : ok:

any more vinyls, those two are great ones to have, both rare indeed. The 44 caliber Horticulture i have in Black sleeve, that is more rare as the white one, but the white one looks better i think.
Also here, quality shots would be very appreciated for use on my site / catalogue

I have some more vinyl, but they are boxed because I'm moving to a new home, but I just found here a pic of some vinyls, bad quality but you can see:

(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/4844/dsc00080g.jpg)

Nice! In need for a holiday, indeed!  :hihi:

i am still not sure if that November Rain Picture Disc was sold separately, i only know it came with the box "Destruction, Lies, the Road to Illusion"

I have seen it being sold without that box, but not very often. So, either they were not very carefull with the boxes, put the poster on the wall and kept the cd's and sell the Picture Disc. As they were not that very expensive compared to other box-sets, that can be the case.

That Biloxi boot is cool you got 2 of them too, nice

I dont know if it was sold separately, I got this as a gift of a purchase

some shit that arrived in the mailbox today :P
pretty sweet stuff in my opinion, so now me and the missus got our own suicide  :beer:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/annsomm/gnr/gnrshowoffxD.jpg)

Nice! I would love to find Suicide on cd! The 4 track boot

bootlegs aren't really that cool in my book....only boot i'd really wanna get my hands on in pristine condition is the Reflexion one.....oh well....
still got some more Illusion promos to buy :P
will post more pics once the longboxes and australian box editions arrive....

new arrivals:

still has original wrap on it, but boxes have been opened in the bottom to take out cds....

almost forgot, also found in my mailbox the us first edition of The Adventures of Bumblefoot by some guy named Ron Thal ?  :hihi:

I have those they came sealed but i took the wrap out cause i thought it would be easy to open it. However after seeing it wasn't, i decided not to open the box. So my boxes are still closed but without the wraping. Ill trade half the opening paper on the bottom which is whats missing on yours for half wrap and half sticker :rofl:

I wish Guns' had released a Chinese Democracy longbox :smoking:

Hmm so with Halo69 emailing this seller wanting to buy just the Gold Signature CD's what's the bet this seller shill bid their own auction but ended up winning it themselves.  I see that this has now been relisted at a much higher price ($280) with a buy it now option at $280:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120584663631&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Halo69 you said you offered her $220 for the Signature CD's and $50 later for the balance - well what a surprise she lists the start bid on the new auction at $280 with a buy it now price of $280 too.  If I were you I would say screw you and not buy it.  It probably wont' sell and she will be forced to relist it at a lower price again.

and seriously report this to ebay. They can try to figure out if there was any foul play here.

You could do with transcripts of your conversation with the seller too.

I have done something like that once too, and ebay did a great job in finding out what happened, the seller was banned, and my negative feedback (left by the seller) was removed by ebay.
People like this make the world not any nicer, right?

Naa... shes quite nice actually, iv been in contact with her. She didnt wanna sell it to the other guy so i told her she could re-list the item again (she didnt know how to do it). But when she did i already had bought other bootlegs, and couldnt afford to buy these. She's offering me the same price for the signature cds and the last american hero boot, 220 au dollars, the 280 dollars is for the whole lot.

But again, dont think im gonna be able to buy it now that iv bought something else, but we'll see :-\

i think its kind of expensive 220 for the signature cds and last american hero, since the whole package is not much different 280 dollars and it has more 8 cds or something to add. I still want the signature cds though and ill probably buy it if this is on until the 27th of this month, thats when i can pay...if it gets bought before that.. oh well...~

But im in permanent contact with her and we might be able to get a deal done. Obviously shes trying to get the best offer she cans, but basically thats what happen.
The other guy had an offer for 174 au dollars for the whole lot, and thats the winning bid, but she didnt wanna sell it for that price and didnt know she could reject it and re-list the item, so i told her she could do that, so she has done it in hopes i would buy it, but it took about 4 days for her to do it, so i thought she was gonna sell it for 174 au dollars anyways and i bought other stuff

But there was no reserve price on the first auction, how can she just decide not to sell it to the guy?

Basically because the guy couldnt pay it right away and i was offering more and right away. But then there were about 3 days when we didnt speak and i thought she had sell it already, so i bought 3 bootlegs which costed me about 60 euros, so thats why im not gonna be able to pay the 220 au dollars for the lot i wanted.

When a seller is not satisfied with the winning bid because its less than what u expect u can just reject and re-list the item and thats what she did, but its too late now unless she waits for the 27th of this month. If it lasts till that day i might buy it.

I just made a massive deal : ok: - It looks my Karma is good for today!

 :smoking:

I'm waiting for nothing, I stopped buying for a while

Yeah, this is the last things im gonna buy i think

good price for the Lies vinyl but the condition looks less than impressive unfortunately

I know, it was more for the wifebeater thing though

this ones about the same price you paid and also excellent condition

when collecting its better to wait for decent stuff at decent prices rather than buy shoddy stuff for the sake of building your collection  : ok:

you dont need to have all in excelent condition to collect

from a serious collectors point of view quality is everything in my opinion....
if i see an item in better condition than the one in my collection then i will buy it and then re-sell my origional one.

i agree you have to start somewhere, but why rush into buying an item when there is better available for the same money  :confused:

todays arrivals:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/annsomm/gnr/Bilde124.jpg)

to all this, yes and no.......

I have had many variations in stuff, 14 items on vinyl and cd of Sweet Child O' Mine for example (and i mean 14 copies of the same thing, not the variations in releases, variations in tracks on disc, counted). I have sold my cd's, and, most of the double i had on vinyl. My point was, why have 3 same versions, while only country of origin is the variation or the fact that is has a badge sealed with it?

my point here, a beat up copy of an item you are never gonna use, because you listen to cd or mp3 only (yes i know collectors who have many vinyls and no player for them) is just to have it, no matter the shape or condition really, just having it will do. : ok:

If you use the item in fact, it has to be good, sure, you want to hear it, feel it, look at it, then, yeah, perfect shape is a MUST

lots of point both ways.....
but in my mind as a semi rabid collector on my kicks, condition is everything....i don't buy the first best fucked up copy i find....sure if it's practically a give away then i might take it....if it's rare enough, but generally.....unless it's as close to mint as possible, i don't bother

whats the point in buying a beat up copy your never gonna play, and then buying a perfect copy to use  :confused:
 
me personally, i collect in the best condition i can for 2 reasons. the first one is so my collection looks at its best and is the most original complete copy of each item.
but also there is a lot of money involved here, the better condition your collection then more value it holds if ever you need to re-sale certain stuff
like i said before whats the point in buying poor quality stuff when you can get better quality for the same money. you cant build a collection overnight like most guys on here think. ive been collecting GnR since 88' and im still buying stuff.

hmmmm.....collective mania is a load of bs xD

just picked up on ebay the Destruction Lies The Road To Illusion box set  :rofl:

Yeah, too bad there's some items that you just have to accept in shitty quality due to their rarity.  But, as always, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


Which version of the boxset?

Hopefully this lady is legit, but I think that someone did something similar to me on eBay recently.  Will fill everyone in on the details soon.

no idea about rarity on this one....but here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130400505639&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
german version apparently

as far as i know, they are all german, these box-sets. there are 2 versions, one with cd singles of November Rain, and one with the vinyl picture disc.
Still, i have no real info about this picture disc being sold without this box..... (new, nowerdays you can find the disc without the box)

The cd that comes with this set has the same image as the vinyl picture disc, and i think, again, it came only with this box too. It is also slightly more rare to get with cd. There seem to less sold with cd.

New adds!!  ;D
