Seems not bad to me...
Looks real to me ... Wonder what the final price will be ...
250£? What did you pay for the one you're proud of, Paul?
I bought it for GBP 180 back in 2000.

The guy I bought it from was a friend of a friend of Gary Marx. I met him at a record fair. That friend used to live in the same house as Gary. The seller had 3 copies. He sold one copy to another seller, one to a friend and his last copy he sold to me.

I remember sending the guy the money cash by mail :roll: Fortunately this naive action turned out fine, although it was quite a risk...

Nice story, Paul. Lucky indeed for that sending money by mail...

Don't forget you're the proud owner of a little piece of legacy! And that's worth the money (I know it sounds sad, but that's the way I look at it).

No food or winter clothes for the wife and children, not being able to pay the rent, selling your car, lying to your parents that you need money for surgery for your dog. At the end: who cares! YOU WON!!! :wink: :notworthy:

Thanks Ozpat, next one is yours :wink:

That last minute bidding! I had an offer for 250£ when they speeded up the bidding so couldn't resist ... It's a crazy amount but saw earlier prices of 360£ and 370£ too...

Seems like you had a good deal on BE too when they pay 185€ now...

Oh, okay, Cardowoman :oops:
It's true that Ebay can be hard to resist sometimes. I spent a lot of money there in the past as well, and definately will do in the future.
