SergSlim Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Let's guess how much it's going to be sold for? I'd say $500 Quote
maxstar Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Let's guess how much it's going to be sold for? I'd say $500 at least $650So let's male bids right here. I am for 675$ Quote
Astat Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 The collector's market for LP stuff seems to have gone down a bit the last couple years actually, at least in terms of seeing REALLY ridiculous prices for auctions (save for the occasional new item we've never seen before, like the 8-track HT demo when that first popped up)...combined with some people being afraid to bid on stuff like this because they're worried about fakes, I wouldn't be surprised if it goes for less than $500. I'm going to make $375 my guess. Quote
GingerLP Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 $450, and damn you will! now everyone knows about it Quote
Jen Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 It hasn't even hit 100.00 yet. I'm gonna go with 200.00 tops. Quote
GingerLP Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 It hasn't even hit 100.00 yet. I'm gonna go with 200.00 tops.Nah, guarantee it will be over that. If a collector can bag it for ever $350 they can make a profit later on. Quote
wiiesel Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 It hasn't even hit 100.00 yet. I'm gonna go with 200.00 tops.I bet the ones who are willing to pay very much didn't place their bid yet. They'll do that in the last minutes or even seconds. Quote
GingerLP Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I bet the ones who are willing to pay very much didn't place their bid yet. They'll do that in the last minutes or even seconds.Last 15 seconds, hell yeah. Quote
Mr_wil5on Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 $450, and damn you will! now everyone knows about it Lol, silly I think it should be promoted, I mean ffs its the Original HTEP were talking about I do agree with Astat, to a certain extent the collecting scene in General has not been the same, barely any bide on stuff, and if there are it goes for so low. Though most Hybrid Theory and Meteora item go off the roof at times. To say the least the fact that there is Fakes out there of Original and reissue has made collectors insecure about buying rare items, But with my knowledge I know its an authentic, no way does it look like those nasty fakes. If you were to ask me, Id say it takes more or less to $500. Quote
Jats Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 The last original went for about 135$, quite cheap if you ask me. Quote
wiiesel Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 The last original went for about 135$, quite cheap if you ask me.unlikely ...woco would know that xD are you sure it was no fake? Quote
Mr_wil5on Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 The last original went for about 135$, quite cheap if you ask me. Yeah that was a fake and only popped upon eBay.co.uk, Usually nowadays its easier to tell, just from the back, but you always asking someone who knows about the matter can help you out loads Quote

No discolored inlay/booklet/cover/whatever and(or) no spelling mistake at the back. Or did I forget something ? Quote

No discolored inlay/booklet/cover/whatever and(or) no spelling mistake at the back. Or did I forget something ? It's not super easy to tell trust me, its a very crafty fake. Now a days you don't see it much, but keep an eye were the seller is from, there mainly stranded in Malaysia or Indonesia. Quote
[AndOne] Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 What's the ebay policy about fakes? Since you're not alllowed to lie about the item your selling, cause that would be fraud. Quote
Jats Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Ah, sorry you guys, I messed up. The copy I was talking about is this one. Quote
Mr_wil5on Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Ah, sorry you guys, I messed up. The copy I was talking about is this one. Pfft $61, just goes to show that when you know its a real re-issue it can pick up alot. Original EP @ $200, Jen ur guess is out On the other hand, I'm not sure about eBay's Policy towards fakes. I've reported the fuck out of some fakes and they just don't do nothing, well as long as they have there 9% commission on it I guess its all that matters Quote
lgr Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 On the other hand, I'm not sure about eBay's Policy towards fakes. I've reported the fuck out of some fakes and they just don't do nothing, well as long as they have there 9% commission on it I guess its all that matters same with gig tickets, I saw tickets for LP at the itunes festival going for £80 when the event is free and ebay's policy is that you must charge the ticket face value. reported it, but they stayed up until the day of the concert, I don't think ebay really cares they just have to cover their asses...

The person just keeps coming back with new accounts. I don't know how or when it will stop if it does. I wish they could be banned from mailing through their name or address or something. Quote
wiiesel Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 that was cheap ^^ congrats to whoever got it. Quote
GingerLP Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) 'Spud' from the LPA got it, A guy from Sydney. This is his first thing, hes not really a collector, but he might become one after this. Edited January 28, 2012 by Ginger Quote
SergSlim Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Let's guess how much it's going to be sold for? I'd say $500 $450, and damn you will! now everyone knows about it I say we split the win... even though it's closer to my guess by 93 cents Quote
