How fake can it be?

Have you established a good reputation at HL and got some Sisters stuff to sell or trade with the community? Or are you searching for that elusive ultra rare live bootleg from 1988? Ever had a bad experience with a trader on Ebay? Let us all know here. Outdated threads will be purged over time.

Warning: Newcomers posting here first will be treated like spammers. At least have the courtesy to say hello in General Chat first...

Mix n'match of old and new logos, no "the" in the band name on the CD, no "not for sale" warning following the "promotional" message - I'm going with "I made this all by myself."

Well, given that there are people out there who would (and do) queue up whenever Steve Jobs takes a shit in a shiny white box and offers it for sale, you've got to figure that there's a sucker born every minute.

I know this is no real promo!

But there is a little voice in my head which says "you want it" You want it....
Even if I have every song from this thing the voice says....buy it....

It ´s not a matter of real or fake...sometimes.
