coldsnap Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 off ebay. I've been collecting records for a few years now but i've only been in the ebay world for a few months and to be honest i never really bid on anything serious, cause price jumps high easily on items. But tonight i decided to follow an item when there was 30 mins left and said to myself why not? and to my huge surprise i won the record with 3 bids on it already. the record is Blue Monday - Rewritten (picture disc), won it for 7,16$. i don't know for how much they usually go, but for me at that price, it's a damn good win. and since were on the topic, what's the first record you won in the ebay world?

adamlikesmusic Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I think a copy of Less Than Jake's "Greased". First press blue. And a copy of Voodoo Glow Skulls' "Dogpile". Both from the same seller. I'm not certain, though. Was a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Congrats! It can be really fun. I think mine was Brand New's "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows" 7" on pink back when I was in high school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're either talking about the Sic Transit 7" on Pink or the Quiet Things 7" on Red & Green, unless you have a copy of the Quiet Things 7" on Pink /1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 i know it's not the first i got off ebay, but it's the first i can remember JEW - Static Prevails and bear with me, because i know it's cliche, but my girlfriend (now wife) was bidding against me to get this for my birthday. neither of us knew the other was bidding, but thankfully this was before the vinyl craze began so i was able to figure out it was her bidding before the price got too high and i quit. she ended up winning it for around $30, but had it not been for me it probably would have been closer to $15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konk Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 On Jun. 7, 2003 I won an auction that the guy said was a test auction. Then on Feb. 7, 2004, I won the Alkaline Trio We've Had Enough Pic Disc for $10.59 total from the same guy. I never realized that I bid on another one of that guy's items!

Guest adam526 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The first record I can remember listening to and playing was 'Tommy' by the Who, but the first record I bought on my own was Blondie 'Parallel Lines'. I would just buy records casually when I find them for really cheap, then I started to notice more and more titles I was interested in pressed on vinyl. Oh, in the Ebay world. I bought Weezer's Maladroit, Pinkerton, Blue, and Green in one lot for $60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
