since i signed up to ebay a few months ago, i have bought the following:
seefeel-time to find me boc kaleidoscope + geogaddi afx hangable autobulb 1 luke vibert - big soup aphex twin - on ep
and about eight other rarities that i cannot remember right now.
i think its great finding these long sought after records so easily, instead of having to dig for them. but at the same time, it cheapens the term " record collector " because you don't spend forever looking for that ultra rare record anymore. it has its good side and bad side, wouldn't you agree? has anyone else had any good stuff of ebay lately???

I think my latest best buy has been the wonderful J9i Pic Disc. I love eBay. But you're right about changing the term record collector.

i dont think so. i got geogaddi and the kaleidoscope for £27, and the "on" ep for only six quid. hab1 was only 30, which is pretty cheap for ebay.

i got my afx shirt and my first venetian snares ep on ebay!
it's really the only choice if you're looking for better IDM here in the states... at least in texas, that is.

You're not kidding.
I bid on a disc at $97 which in retrospect was kind of stupid - but I've been after it for years.
I was outbid at $98. That's a crazy amount of money for this release.

i tend to "track" certain records for a number of weeks, taking mental notes of how often they come up and how much they go for. then i don't get ripped off (as much)

yup. you somehow get caught up in the momentum. well, not anymore.
just today I was thinking of sniping a bid on an original "Alien" soundtrack cd, which was at $7.50 last time I looked (that cd is OOP). so I had a look about 3 hours before the end - it was over $30 dollars. FUCK OFF. :)

I just ask myself: "do I want to pay X amount of dollars for this record?".
the answer mostly is: no. :)

I bought that for 50p the other week! Ceri was present and I couldn't tell if he was shocked or disgusted or jealous.
bob: I'm sorry mate. What can I say?

Homer: Family meeting! Family meeting! [the rest of the family runs into the dining room and quickly takes their seats]
Homer: Okay, people, let's keep this short. We all want to get home to our families.
[all laugh] Homer: All right, first item: I lost our life savings in the stock market. Now let's move on to the real issue: Lisa's hogging of the maple syrup.
Lisa: Well, maybe if Mom didn't make such dry waffles. There, I said it.
Marge: Well, maybe if you'd eat some meat you'd have a natural lubricant.
[gasps and turns to Homer] Marge: You lost all our money? Homer: Point of order -- I didn't lose ALL the money. There was enough left for this cowbell.
[rings it softly and the bell breaks apart in his hands] Homer: Damn you, eBay!

haha, funny !
I have mainly bought Three Investigator Books on eBay myself - once paid £30 for a first edition hardback from 1969. That was my biggest purchase.

I just got The 7th guest from e-bay
I thought I could be clever and get it working on xp, but I'm stupider than I thought ! So I'm gonna try it on my laptop instead. Probably won't work on that either =o(
