Bargains on ebay?

[The Grand Wazoo]

I was idly watching a copy of Trees 'On The Shore'
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TREES-Shore-LP...?pt=UK_Records
......which fetched £370

So do you think the lucky(?) winner will ever play it?
Did they buy it just to own it?
If so, why?

&.......what would it fetch if it were not available on CD nowadays?

Sad, if it never gets played again, but a bit like ultra expensive wine, some people like to own stuff just for the sake of owning it. Or, even more sadly, as an investment. I've got a reasonable collection of old Matchbox & Dinky etc. toy cars, and I very occasionally get them out of their original boxes just to look at them and feel them (ok, I admit it, and go broom broom on the carpet) but that doesn't really apply with a record or wine, does it? I guess if you are a completist then you'd want it if you are a massive fan, and I can sort of relate to that, but I'd still play it, even if only the once...

I own some fairly rare albums but I play them all - that's why I bought them! But I'd never dream of paying that kind of cash for any recording - not a chance.

I think this guy may have received too many Nigerian "Dear Friend" emails, by the looks of his writing style! Very thorough, if nothing else... and at the moment a bargain, but I suspect they won't stay that way for long. When I used my 8000S as my main amp I always intended to one day scrape enough together for a pair of M's, would still like some now but the piggy bank is looking a bit bleak for the price these will go for.

Blimey, some waffle there. I wonder if he works for QVC

Save your money Alex, looking at the specs the guy has published you wouldn't hear a thing through them...

I reckon with a frequency response outside the human hearing (20Mhz-20kHz ), you sure won't.
It's advertised as in reseller's condition. So only resellers need apply.

Indeed, I thought I'd buy them and then resell them to a dog!

I love that album! But of course I only have it on CD, that and The Garden of Jane Delawney. Superb folk rock.
