Title: Need some info on Live Like a Suicide Post by: Evolution on March 07, 2009, 05:24:06 PM I just bought a copy off of Ebay, I was wondering, how rare exactly is it? Not very I imagine, considering I just bought one very easily. Are there various batches the copy I've bought could have come from or something?
Any help appreciated. Title: Re: Need some info on Live Like a Suicide Post by: wadey on March 08, 2009, 09:39:30 AM only a run of 10,000 was manufactured but there are fakes out there for sure. no one knows for sure how many fakes there are. there is a thread in here somehwere regarding fakes etc and how to spot them.
Title: Re: Need some info on Live Like a Suicide Post by: seely on March 09, 2009, 01:57:35 PM It's quite rare, only 10,000 copies made, and was a Vinyl only release. Most copies on ebay go for over ?100,
How much you pay for yours? Did the seller good feedback? Silly question, maybe, but was it definately Vnyl? Cos i saw some guy selling a Cd copy of GNR lies with the cover of Live Like A Suicide on the front, saying it was a rare item (Which probably a lie, he could have just folded the Lies booklet inside out to make the LLAS cover go on the front) Title: Re: Need some info on Live Like a Suicide Post by: Mr. Redman on March 09, 2009, 02:53:54 PM It's quite rare, only 10,000 copies made, and was a Vinyl only release.

And there is a bootleg three inch CD that goes for a bit of a price too.

So I think the label is meant to be a pinkish color and not red? Title: Re: Need some info on Live Like a Suicide Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on March 10, 2009, 01:23:06 AM Is your vinyl green?

The fact I paid pretty much nothing for my "copy" should have been a give away.
Turns out it was a copy of Lies, photographed from the back. I only realised when I squinted and saw a barcode and the white writing on the bottom, so I cancelled my order, and the bastard got shirty with me for "wasting his Ebay fees." Fucking cunt!

Fucking cunt! some non guns fans do sell it on ebay not knowing they are listing incorrectly........but on the other hand you get the scammers that are out for all they can get. if he leaves negative for non payment just report him to ebay for misleading listing and you should be fine. if he enters a dispute and you both agree not to proceed with the transaction then he gets his fee's back and you dont get a non payment strike, that way you both win. good luck with your future quest for the holy grail :peace: ps dont bid on this one cos its LIES http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Guns-Roses-Live-Geffen-N-M_W0QQitemZ180336002697QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item180336002697&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Guns-Roses-Live-Geffen-N-M_W0QQitemZ180336002697QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item180336002697&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318) |
