currently on ebay (12"), anyone know what its like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
expensive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in what way? as in the price it is on ebay or the price generally? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
prize/quality |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, you're being very vague here (not helping) and what is the actual track like - is it any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well when you look at quality it may be expensive, but when you look at rarity it's chrystal clear that those amounts of money arise |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh, not one of the best but it's kinda nice :) Really expensive though, It lacks quality but yeah, its rare allright |
||||||||

power pill pack man is an ep with 5 tracks in it, original and some mixes... but very much alike all of them... its like funny dance music... a rarety but not good afx stuff... if you are a collector buy it.... but if you are searching for good music there are lots of much better afx releases |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's crap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see, cheers. currently offering £10.50 for it and i think that seems a good price to add to my collection when you all say really expensive, what kind of price range do you mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's party! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not crap!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

For gods sake. It's an early 90's dance anthem like Tetris by doctor spin and all the other happy rave style trax that came out around that time in the UK and Germany. |

|
maybe cd is rarer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There is fucking thousands of them in each format. They only cost so much because the world has access to ebay. The yellow vinyl is rare but anything else is a common pressing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Everything is rare if you are a seller on ebay. 'RARE!!!!!!OMFG!!!!SQUAREPUSERAFX!AFX!' [Actual item 'Big Loada' cd] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where can I get it then ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everyone knows the RARE!!! means i want more money for this thing thats more common than water on ebay but would you say its worth getting? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't get it for the tracks if i were you, only if you like to collect afx stuff (i'd like to have the CD-version, just for the sake of collecting it) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i'm just trying to up my vinyl side and thought it'll be a good add on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
spikee: where can I get it?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Urr? Ebay? I was told you can get it from music fares for like £4. Why are you asking me where you can get it from when you list ebay yourself? I'm only telling you it's not as rare as it's made out to be and the price is high because ebay is ebay... A copy of the darn thing is on there every week. I'd love to have it but without giving some smug twat £60 for it. I took a while to respond because I actually have other things to do rather and sit on this website all day. I'm at work currently. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's up to the individual. Pay what you want or think is right but it will be on there again next week. It's not rare and with ebay having access to the world the price of anything can get fucking stupid. I've seen BBC Micros go for over £100. If it brings you joy that can only be a good thing yeah? |

I personally paid a shitload for the UI vinyls because I like Acid music. But now rather then get every last little piece of shit by AFX I can find on ebay I tend to support Rephlex by buying the new stuff (loads I have not heard). I don't see the point in creaming over a Powerpill single when I can buy two new albums (or more) from Rephlex for the same price personally. Lory D, DJ Scud, The Bug? This is gonna be a good year for Rephlex, compare those to the prospect of 'Powerpill' on vinyl. I know what I'm gonna go for. I've learned some harsh lessons on ebay. |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|
what harsh lessond?? I am frightened as I am waiting for 4 purchases I won |
||||||||
|

I'm not going into that here or any place else. Just make sure you are not being tricked with the price. Common sence. It's normally fine but the costs are stupid when you can get new music instead of being the musical equivalent of a stamp collector. Don't buy something just cuz it's AFX but if you really really love it and can use it get it I suppose. It's not like it's up to me. |

for the record, the cd version of pac-man IS rare, much rarer than the vinyl... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rarer than the yellow vinyl even? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i'm also still waiting for a 12" .. but i'm affraid it won't come anymore (although i paid)... it looked like the guy could be trust and then suddenly fortunately all those who were screwed by him have contact with eachother by mail.. ..let's hope we can do something about him.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He could be dead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's funny, that's about all. i guess it's good if you want a cd with basically the same song 5 times on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no he ain't (he may be soon though ;) ) i tracked down his phonenumber and called him, i got his wife on the phone she told me to call back some other time 'cause he wasn't at home at that moment (she said) most of the time when i call i get the voicemail fortunately all those who were screwed by him decided to call him very often (we also have his mobile phone number) .. let's hope soon he can't stand it anymore and pays us back or sends us the records |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what else can i do about it? i contacted ebay, they're currently investigating it, but i doubt if it's really of any use i can't believe it's so easy to steal money from people any suggestions for malafide ebayers/ thiefs? |
||||||||
|

how much did you pay for it? and how did you pay? if you have proof of payment, such as a money order receipt or paypal receipt, you can claim the money back. every transaction on ebay is insured, unless you pay by cash. the only problem is, the insurance company takes about $20 admin fee, so for example, if you paid $50, you can get $30 back, but if you paid $25 you can only get $5 back. it does work, i did it once before. it takes quite a while though, and you have to follow the correct procedures, like filling in a fraud report before a certain amount of days are up. you can find all the details in the "safe harbour" section of ebay services. and don't forget to leave the wanker some nice negative feedback! |

yeah, i have to agree. the only reason i'm tempted to but the thing is because i've recently got some decks and fancy some afx vinyl to play with (although is much better price wise and has some good stuff from time to time - i'm getting classics on vinyl off there for only £17 i'm also looking forward to a lot of rephlex stuff - them and skam are my label focus this year as they never fail with constantly brilliant releases. and it is always better to get new stuff more because most of what you pay goes to them and not some looser on ebay trying to rip people off |
