thats pretty fun XD Precio de la oferta: 1,00 EUR La oferta caduca en: 41 horas 43 minutos Mensaje del comprador: I'm also willing to throw in a CD single of 'Windowlicker', and some ginger pubes which I have on good authority (some guy on eBay) are belonged to Richard D. James, if the Euro (Vatican issue!) doesn't seal the deal. I'm open to negotiation |

it's all fake, in the end you end up paying instead of earning money. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, i know what you mean... im not really giving ab5 away, im very fond of having it, but ive got it forgotten in a box and never play it, so maybe i would sell it if i get an interesting offer... |
||||||||
|
|

$5.00 + shipping mate. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh... not even a little bit of acid on them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

as you've already said yourself, "im very fond of having it, but ive got it forgotten in a box and never play it, so maybe i would sell it if i get an interesting offer... " so what you're saying is that to you personally, the only value it has is as a money making item that you can profit greatly from. the only reason you have it in your possession is so that you can profit from it's sale at an extortionate rate. i don't give a fuck if i've offended you. you've offended me by asking such a ridiculous price for a piece of polyvinyl chloride. making comments about my hair over the years doesn't detract from the fact that profiteering scum like you will continue to piss off vinyl listeners the world over. and notice that i specifically said vinyl listeners, not vinyl collectors. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:( oh come on oscillik, dont go that angry please... its obvious im not gonna sell it for such price. |
||||||||
|

hey, music is serious business. i've boycotted Eno over his latest atrocity against vinyl listeners (only offering a vinyl version of the album at a ridiculous price of £60), and if Warp try any funny stuff with the next releases for Aphex / Boards of Canada / autechre i'll be boycotting those too. if you really are so very new to eBay that you didn't realise that such a ridiculous asking price would be lauded amongst many people as 'taking the piss', here are some honestly helpful tips: 1. set a low starting bid - this will garner interest from people and encourage bidders. starting at €1 is too low, set it to something that a lot of people would consider an absolute bargain, like maybe setting the starting bid at €30. 2. if you have an idea of a rough figure you'd like to get for the item, set a reserve price. this way, if bidders do not meet what you think is a reasonable price, then you are not obligated to sell. of course, if you set a reserve of €3000, then you're not really going to get very far. fact of the matter is, you either got this record direct from Rephlex (in which case you paid €0 for it), or you bought it from someone else (and there's no way in hell that i'm going to believe you paid anything more than €500 for that). €3000 for it is just...not happening. |

thank you for the tips, oscillik. my real situation is that im in a critical economic situation and i dont really know if selling it or not. as you can imagine, its very special for an aphex lover to own this album and i would be very sad to sell it. the only compensation would be to get money enough to pay the rent (and maybe buy a new record player as my old one is broken), but i dont know, i guess i could get other ways to get money... |

i know how it is to be in a bad financial situation. i've sold all of my music hardware at a great loss compared to what i paid for the items (303, 606, 808, 909...they all went for way below what i paid). invariably, with music hardware and with vinyl it's a case of 'what the buyer is willing to pay' that determines the inherent value of anything. for example, i'm sure a lot of people would say that i was crazy to spend £1000 on the 808 i had (extremely awesome cosmetic condition, with Groove Electronics MIDI retrofit). i personally was ok with spending that much. what i wasn't ok with was having to let it go as a job lot with the 303 and 909 for £2000. but i needed the money. same with vinyl. i've spent, what would be considered by some, as a ludicrous amount of money on records, but value is subjective with such things. although there are some pretty universal expectations. if you have something of great value, and you most certainly do, the worst thing you could do is alienate your prospective buyers by asking such a high price. like i said, if you play it smart you could actually entice a lot of interest in the item simply by using a fairly conservative starting bid. you'll get people thinking "AB5 for €30? this guy mustn't know what he's got hold of! this is a bargain!" and you'll soon get many watchers. be warned though - you may have to relist a few times, inevitably you get people watching an item but they forget to bid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what you mean relist? and what if i just get 30 euros for it, id be very sad... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's why i said to put a reserve price on it. the bidders wont see the reserve price. and by relist i mean exactly that - you may find that you get no takers for the first couple of tries, it happens |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i didnt know about that reserve price thing, thank you oscillik! i should seriously think about it, althought im already tired of all the ebay shit... dunno dunno thank you for tips, anyway, and sorry if i made you angry with the 3000e shit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i get annoyed with eBay too - i just had to put some stuff up there, and i really didn't want to have to. |
||||||||

5 euro + I'll have sex with you (I am Richard D James). Im the pitcher, you're the catch. I aint gay like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually scratch that. Tomorrow Im going to sit on santas lap and tell him my christmas wish is for Richard to release 6,000 copies of this, therefore rendering you and your stupid fucking record, virtually worthless. |
