My GNR Collection!

[serp616]

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

[Halo69]

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

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



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?:

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

[williambailey]

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

[Halo69]

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.

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

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

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.

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
