Now it's at €300, so if someone really wants it, it's probably best to just buy it on Discogs for €375.

That being said the top bidder for both this and Green Eldritch with zero feedback looks rather suspicious IMO, especially since this seller has done some dubious things in the past. An example can be found on his eBay feedback profile, and I have experienced some more minor things first hand.

The items I ended up buying from were always very nice though.

well, it smells a little bit. And if I remember correctly, there always wa a litte bit strangeness in all auctions I bit against him. Often a lot of bidders wwith 0 feedback. But I can be wrong. If so: Sorry!

But I decided to make only a low bid to see what happens and I will definitive not bid any more on these pretty things. :roll:

Next please! :lol: :lol: :lol:

So the zero feedback bidder won both auctions in the end, and so far the items are still available on Discogs.

right!! I was also waiting to see what will happen about that and it strikes me as really strange. The prices in both sites are/were far too expensive for me but I need to clarify some things about the whole situation...

Maybe the seller just thought things over when he realised that he won't get what he had imagined for these treasures ... :wink: ...

Thought what over? Both items "sold" on eBay, but a little later prices were changed on Discogs (Green Eldritch 300 to 330 euro, Dead Flowers 375 to 350 euro).

Maybe we do :roll:

Although we both have many items, at least I still miss a few more or less common items. Not to forget, that there is more than one version of this box :wink:

However, it's a nice bargain, nonetheless :innocent: :D ;D

Pretty bargain!

Actually no, but as a matter of fact I'm interested in records, not persé in boxes or bad shirts. But that's just how I think.
