The band gets some of the dough and I end up saving a bunch of money. It feels like it's costing quite a bit lately, but I can't imagine trying to buy all this limited edition stuff on e-bay. __________________ 12-11-2002 17:39 Joey T.

Yeah, and it really makes me mad that guys like this are taking advantage of the situtation and making $100 profit on something that sold for $39.... __________________ 12-11-2002 17:41 brdhsnyrsoul Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 08-20-2002 Posts: 2,155 Location: the funky western civilization Perhaps Terry should be saving a bunch of copies himself to sell on e-bay. He could even offer limited editions signed by Terry. He could be bringing in a cool grand a month just by not selling all the copies of a CD when it's released. __________________ 12-11-2002 17:44 Joey T.

That would be cool... but I don't think Terry would rip off his fans by letting it go for $139..... __________________ 12-11-2002 17:45 brdhsnyrsoul Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 08-20-2002 Posts: 2,155 Location: the funky western civilization he could always use the "buy it now" feature and cap it at $100. __________________ 12-11-2002 17:47 Joey T. Tallowy Tamale Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 7,777 Location: you can't fire me, 'cuz i quit! - Kurt Cobain.... $100 is still too much to pay when I only paid $37.... Obviously, somebody should make a second pressing... __________________ 12-11-2002 17:48 brdhsnyrsoul Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 08-20-2002 Posts: 2,155 Location: the funky western civilization I know, I know....I just thought that if anyone should be profiting from Terry's music, it should be Terry. __________________ 12-11-2002 17:52 Joey T.

Exactly my point! __________________ 12-11-2002 17:53 brdhsnyrsoul Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 08-20-2002 Posts: 2,155 Location: the funky western civilization It's just hard to make much profit on limited runs that sell for $10 to $15. It's even harder to make a profit when you have to share those $$s with a record company or publisher. __________________ 12-11-2002 17:57 Joey T.

Yeah, like Adam Again's 10 songs re-release has only sold about half of the 1000 copies... It least it keeps those creeps from selling copies for ridiculous prices on e-bay... although I did see some of the re-issues being sold there for about double what they should have been..... __________________ 12-11-2002 17:59 BigDork Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 4,340 just great, now I wont be able to sell all my extra copies of Prickly Heat and Hodgepodge for hundreds cuz Joey will yell at me. if only I had bought extra copies.....

He's just letting us know that it is available. He started the price out low and the bidders sent it up. It's not like he said here you can have it for $130. __________________ http://www.google.com 12-12-2002 08:21 Joey T.

Well, the only time he posts here is to put up these offers... If he was a regular poster here and maybe started the bidding under what it originally sold for with no reserve, we might not be so hard on him.... __________________ 12-12-2002 14:21 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala. quote: Originally posted by Joey T. quote: Originally posted by highfiguy I have a new Alarma Chronicles Bookset listed on eBay. So far the bidding hasn't gotten totally out of control. I will also be listing cassettes of Live Bootleg '82 and Miracle Faith Telethon later today. They will go for real cheap. I have the CD's, so I would like to see the cassettes go to good homes. If you would like me to e-mail you when they are listed send me a message at highfiguy@juno.com. Alarma Chronicles Bookset on Ebay some poor sucker ended up paying $139 for this thing.... if you are a real fan you will give some of that back to the band.... if not, please don't post your stupid offers here anymore. I think that would be a nice gesture too! Course if your not willing to spend hundreds of dollars on OOP CDs your are not a "real fan!" __________________ 12-12-2002 16:17 MartyB Esculent Eskimo Registration Date: 09-13-2002 Posts: 49 Location: Earth Household Why does it make you so mad?        quote: Originally posted by Joey T.

I figure the price paid is between the buyer and the seller - if they are both happy with it, then what's the problem? If the seller feels bad he can donate some of the excess to Terry or charity. Whether he feels he should do that or not, is between him and God. Either way Terry and the boys made what they expected to make when they sold it originally. MartyB 12-12-2002 18:25 Joey T.

MartyB You really don't see anything wrong with it Marty? Do you think Terry does? I'm sure he does..... __________________ 12-12-2002 19:03 Pages (3): « previous 1 [2] 3 next » Tree Structure | Board Structure Jump to: Please select: -------------------- DA Related Discussion-- General Discussion-- Upcoming Releases-- CD & DVD Reviews-- Larry - Lucy I'm In LoveFAQs and Notices Daniel Amos Message Board » DA Related Discussion » General Discussion » Alarma Chronicles Bookset on Ebay Forum Software: Burning Board 2.3.6, Developed by WoltLab GmbH
