Well... it seems as if someone has decided to cash in and turn them old boots into cash machines

Go figure...

At least he isn't trying to make a total fortune out of it. The Buy It Now was only 7.99.

At least us weeding folks don't pay anything mor than postage! :D

Sorry, but I see two sides to this.

1. It's rare, so selling something that probably cost him a considerable amount is a viable option.

2. It's a copy not the original, so making money through "deception" is wrong. But, he's been 100% honest with the description and £8 is a bargain compared to £100. So fair play to him for making a rare item available cheaper than the average price sold.

If after paying £8 for this, can help get the buyer into trading/collecting more concerts, then that's a good thing! After all, £10 spent on Glasgow 1985 six months ago has got me where I am today!

I am not being critical of him for selling it, especially as he is up front in the description in what the item is. It is more of a comment regarding events in the spring of 2001. (No, he is not the same seller.)

There was no "original", as that also was a homemade cd.

Why don't you wait until that rat puts on yet another of his set of 50 (yeh yeh, he'll make more than that, I bet) and then do a dutch auction for 50 @ 7.99 each. You'd clean up for sure!

I'm serious. It's better that people pay £7.99 rather than £150.

...Or are you the one selling the £150 version? :roll:

I can confirm that allfear has weeded WEA Mixes and Kenny Giles to me. :notworthy:
