 | 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.

 | 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. :)

 the answer mostly is: no. :)

 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!

 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.
