skumbucket Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 ...i got one of mine for only $65.05! it might be hard to make out, but i nailed an auction for the black MICF w/ orange labels. this is even harder to make out, but if you can't see it, i did some smart e-baying and bid $65.05....five cents higher than the next highest bidder. i'm so proud of myself right now guys, seriously.

jhulud Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Nice! It's always a great feeling to snag that eBay auction item for a reasonable price...even better when it's below of the amount that you were willing to pay... Congrats dude!

Guest conoley Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Nice one! Which is more rare - the orange or the black for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Is that the black with orange labels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 black with orange labels, yeah...the orange wax usually goes much higher, from what i've seen...but i'm pretty damn happy with black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattisr1984 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 always tack on extra cents... even dollar bids = doomed for failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destroyingthescene Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 always tack on extra cents...even dollar bids = doomed for failure Yeah, I'm always making bizarre bids like 37.64 and stuff like that, seems to work for the most part, unless I get outbid by like $20. Then they're just assholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenatheart Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 always tack on extra cents...even dollar bids = doomed for failure My boyfriend has laughed at me for bidding amounts such as $34.07. I just have this weird notion that picking a random amount makes me more likely to win, even though it logically doesn't make sense that someone would be less likely to outbid me just because I tacked on a few extra cents.

cadetapplesauce Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 sometimes i bid $xx.01 or $xx.02 just in case someone bids only $xx.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 sometimes i bid $xx.01 or $xx.02 just in case someone bids only $xx.00 I never thought of that at all! I'm gonna start bidding with random amounts now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyljunkie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 technically a white whale is something that you have never even really seen in person, and you may start to doubt its existence because you just cant track it down anywhere. bonus points if hardly anyone else has ever seen it. not sure if something up for sale every week or two can count as a white whale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante3000 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 My white whale, the New Mexican Disaster Squad/Western Addiction Split on blue and red. Richard of NMDS says only four were made and he has two and No Idea has the other two, yet No Idea doesn't even list it as a variant and they even list like 1/3 and such. I wrote No Idea but they said they probably don't have one and if they do it's probably in Var's collection. Never seen it, never hear any other reports of it. And I'll kill a whole ship full of men for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 My white whale was the Against Me! 12" and it's now on ebay and way out of my realm of buy-ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 My white whales : Chronic Sick "Cutest Band In Hardcore" / s/t 7" : The 7" is more common than the 12" ep, but it's not as good. The 7" normally goes for a few hundred. The 12" normally goes for nearly a grand. Both rarely come up, but even then, I couldn't bring myself to pay that kind of cash. N.Y. Niggers "Just Like Dresden" 7" : Very rare... I've only seen one copy on eBay in a long time. A $300 Buy It Now and I missed it. Would have paid that for it. Fems "Go To A Party" 7" : Only seen it for sale once and it went for about $200. About $100 more than I would pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrc Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 well i guess since a little while back i found out there was a copy of Satanic Surfers - Hero of our time LP on pink vinyl i must find that. Never even knew about it until recently and never seen it on ebay or anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
