cadetapplesauce Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 sorry about that man. it sucks. bad times when i had dial up. i forgot what auction it was, but i would've won if it hadn't been so slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Imagine what it was like for us old guys before the Internet. I used to mailorder everything. And most places had this deal where you could call and pre-order something, then you had to get payment to them within ten days. So I found this 7" I'd been looking for forever, super rare, and I preordered it. This was in about 1992. I sent the money order to the record store, which was in Boston (I was in Delaware, about a 5 hour drive away). Well, my money order didn't get there in 10 days because of the F-ing postal service and I didn't get the 7". I finally found the record on ebay about 6 months ago. I paid $40 for it. Back then it would have been about $7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrd Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 although this is pretty lame and i wouldnt condone using it unless you were desperate you can use auctionsniper.com to automatically bid for you like 5 seconds from the end useful if you arent gonna be near a computer when an auction ends or something, i've used it for a couple of records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ps Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I did the kind of same thing on Sunday, except I forgot about it and by the time I logged on I missed it. It went for $7.50. Pissed me off. I was watching that Larry Arms too, no intention of bidding though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faith Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I was watching this totally rare cisco bottle from NOFX once. I was ready to pay up to $100.00 for it, and I was bidding against a freak when it comes to NOFX that would've totally overbid me I knew that but it was worth the shot. In the end we both forgot to bid and it went for like $55.00 a total steal. I missed the auction by like 3 mins. fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brennan Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 those must have been the golden days of things not costing hundreds of dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faith Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I suppose. I picked up all of me, louise, both lizas on pink, pods and gods and timmy for around 5-10$. $11.51 for a PID, $22.00 for a white WOE. There were lots and lots of yellow HOFX from japan for BIN$30-50, I picked up a SS S/T for US$30.00, a dcmw for $20. it rocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brennan Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 sounds like it. i wish i could pick up a WOE and HOFX for those prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
