ebay madness

£1200????

that'll never sell at that price, will it?

no photos = scam

:angry:

Yeah, there's some things in there that don't quite add up to me:

- He lists Bradley's Robot as CAT001, not Bradley's Beat

- He calls the Mike & Rich album Expert Knob Twiddlers

- "AFX-Analogue Bubblebath Vol.5(CAT034)-please note this is just a blank cd with full album of mp3's-9 tracks."

- "Aphex Twin-Melodies from Mars-please note this is just a blank cd with full album of mp3's-12 tracks."

- He calls the Analord picture disc "number 11"

If this guy is so dedicated and has all this shit, and so meticulously listed this information, why the odd little discrepancies?

IF, and that is a big if... this is a real auction, I would say the price is definitely worth it. When compared to what everything sells for on eBay individually. All depends on condition of everything but still, a lot of money here. I could see the mistake of calling Mike and Rich album 'Expert Knob Twiddlers', maybe the Bradley Strider and Analord mistakes. Seems like this auction was thrown together fast, maybe they really do need money? Pics and more solid feedback history would definitely be reassuring to anyone wanting to bid! It will be interesting to see how this all turns out

if it included the vinyl of AB5 then maybe it would be worth the asking price.

but no photos and no description of the condition of any of the records or CDs - my bet is it wont get a single bid

I agree, if it doesn't get changed or have some photos, the auction is screwed unless some bold (is that the right word?) bidder goes after the lot. Do you have any idea how much it would be to ship all that? It would be pretty costly no matter where it went.

she buys a lot of dresses.

I messaged the seller, and asked if there were pictures available and the overall condition of the collection, here is the response I received:

Sorry, would take too long to take photo's of each one. Vinyls and

cd's are all in excellent condition, and so are the sleeves and cases.

most of the vinyls have only been played once.

hmm...

Apparently Mike Paradinas has said in an interview somewhere that the album is just called "Mike & Rich", the RePhLeX promo I have says otherwise...

This is quite true.

That's one fucking confusing ebay listing to read. Why didn't he add any line returns at the end of sentences? Seems a bit steep too...

you'd think somebody with the full afx discography would know these things

:angry:
