For those of you who don't know, this is the box set with the t-shirt that has the phrase "Making a Fuckin Fashion Statement" on the back of it and this box set (especially sealed) is rare as fuck!!!

How much money do you spend on Ebay every month?

Cause all the stuff you posted cost too much money...

Anyway, I saw it but didn't feel like paying 80 for it.

I spent so much money last year, September-November, and I found myself regreting it this summer...

I'm not making the same mistake. I'm saving all my money for a GN'R tour...

Well, I am a serious collector og GNR so I do spend the money to go with it.  But that doesn't mean I haven't found some real bargains.  I know that none of you (read posts above yours) would pay that much for that double VHS box set with T-shirt from Japan, but let me try to explain.  For example, the Illusions wooden box set is rare and valuable, true.  But I can assure you that not only will you see that again on eBay soon, I can guess some websites where you can probably get it.  On the other hand, I'd be willing to bet a few fingers that you will never see this box set in this condition again for that price.  That's the level of rarity I'm talking here.  So far I have had no problems seeing Guns  - MSG 02, Hammerstein (all 4 dates), San Francisco Warfield (both dates), and will see them again in December in Fresno.  But I guess everyone has that one thing that they like to spend money on.  Thanks for the post!

That's a sweet collection man!  I saw your website before but could not figure how to get to your collection (I can't read Greek) - thanks for posting the link.  Definitely interested in that other stuff that you have not listed - my curiosity is peaked.

To droezle, I wouldn't pay 80? for those promos as I have seen them going for ~10?.. but it's all about timing man. And every collector pays what he/she wants and if you're satisfied, it's all good : ok:

Never seen this one before, but I assume it's a Japanese version?

It's hard to find something "rare" form G N' R here where i live. So i saw these promo's last month on ebay.de (Germany) and decided to buy them no mather what they cost. I'm a fan now since 18 years and tought it was great to buy something "rare" and exclusive from the band that i love. It's not that you can buy these promo's at your local recordstore.

Im a pretty serious collector too and I was very tempted to bid on that box set too even at that price - mainly for the reason you mentioned, you could wait years before you see that one again in that condition!
