Oh my, let me count the ways eBay has helped my GnR collection grow and expland over the years

The last thing I bought that was GnR related was a huge bunch of clippings for my sister.  The last cd I bought via eBay... I think it was the Live and Let Die Bootleg via Indianapolis.  Among others

I won a 12 inch "It's So Easy" LP single (catalog # GEF 22T). Won it yesterday. Put the money in the mail yesterday. $3.50 for the record. $3.50 for shipping.

Do you have the 12" Its so easy pic disc yet?

[Steve McKagan]

I got the 3 Appetite-GNR-logo pic-discs, 3 weeks ago with original stickered sleeves for only 900 SEK, that would be $128. That's what I call a bargain. But not from eBay, it was from the swedish suction site www.tradera.com.

Anyway, last thing I bought on eBay was a couple of cassette singles for a few dollars.

Damn! I was the person you out bid for the puzzle! 
I got a three and half foot two piece Use your Ill. in store display, really cheap.
I got a South American Itinerary. Also pretty cheap.
Couple of weeks ago I got a Greatest hits in store small hanging piece.

IMO, there is no reason to use ebay today. A few years ago it was the main way to go and I personally spent several thousand $$ building my collection. But today there are so many alternatives--trading sites, downloads, etc.--that ebay sellers are often a rip off and an anachronism. I have not even looked at ebay GNR auctions for probably a year or more.

I don't see many alternatives to build an official collection. Ebay rocks!

Most people here are talking about official collectibles, not bootlegs. I don't really see how you can trade or download a picture disc, for example.

Excactly.......99% of my G N' R purchases are official releases that are rare and hard to find. Why say ebay sellers are a rip off.............you dont have to pay the prices

Right, I agree. I was talking  about CDs, DVDs. For other  items there are few alternatives. I bought some stuff (other items) but found invariably that the seller was not entirely truthful about condition, size, etc.

I do agree with you about the CDRs and DVDRs, But its the buyers that push the price up. I saw a DVDR copy of RIR3 go for ?45 about 2 months ago. Starting price was only ?5............. in the description it even said no artwork supplied in slip case etc.

Last GN'R item I bought was the St. Louis 1991 DVD.

[thelostrose]

last item was A4D jap-LP. i should get it next week.
sad thing tho is, that i got to save my money right now, so my collection won't grow that much, although some of the rarer stuff is still missing. :/
