I was thinkin' about it, but I didn't feel that it was worth $80.

[wewantslash]

well nice but no big deal for me, not really interesting to my eyes. it can be the rarest thing on earth i would have put max $9....but if your happy with it good for you.

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.

Great collection man. I bought these promo cd's last month on ebay for 80 euro's (incl.shippingcosts):

Selections from Use Your Illusion 1 and Use Your Illusion 2 For In-Store Play Only (1991 Promo Sampler CD including 8 songs from both Illusions albums, distributed to record stores the night when the twin albums went on sale, white sleeve with black sticker, PRO-CD-4328




Guns N' Radio (Mega Rare 1991 US 12-track promotional only CD featuring a unique 'Use Your Illusion' compilation featuring tracks from both of the albums. Including Don't Cry, Pretty Tied Up, 14 Years, Estranged, and Live and Let Die. Housed in a generic card wallet sleeve with a large track & language warning sticker on the front! PRO-CD-4340)




Do any of you know how rare these promo's are and how much they normally costs??

[kaasupoltin]

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

[mongis]

i have this 3" CD single with it's so easy/whole lotta rosie and 2 other tracks on it... anyone know if it's rare?

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!
