There is some discussion about ebay, so I wonder what great
deals people on this MB have done.

I once got Biosphere - Microgravity for a five quid. That
was cool.

Also just won Orb - UForb in blue bag with postcards, for a
tenner. I was happy with that..

I got my PDX2000 record decks, PMC270a mixer and Kaoss pad,
unused Slipmats, A pair of Stanton 500 AL carts, Sennheiser
canse and a pair of Stanton 505 carts all for £800. All in
pretty mint condition for about £600 less than brand new.

None. eBay is lame in my opinion. The price always rises to
ridiculous amounts on items I want. Even if it isn't rare,
people are still willing to bid more than they could get it
for in the shops.

Yeah, that often happens in real auctions too.

The fact it's nline adds an extra layer to insulate you from
reality and further encourages people to bid more than they
could really afford.

It wasn't till I got £800 out of a hole in the wall (over
£400 of it in £20s and £10s) that I really realised what
I was doing. I thought, "Fuck me, this is a lot of
money..."

I take it "This is Hardcore" was the album not the single?

Really good album that, shame it didn't do as well as
Different Class. "His and Hers" was another favourite of
mine.

a few years ago that kinda started to help my afx
collection, i got the jesus jones "zeros and ones" cd single
for $5.00, with the prodigy remix and the 2 afx
reconstruction mixes

i thought it was and still do think its a good deal even
now, the cd was years out of print and i like all 5 songs

Not to mention that you have a lot more potential bidders on
ebay since it is open to anyone with a computer and access
to the web. In a real-life auction you actual have to be
there, so there will probably not be quite so many people
interested in the lot.

p.s. ive only bought about 5 items on ebay.com they usually
go for more than what you could buy the cd in the store for,
but those are probably buyers that dont have good record
stores around them
