It is not worth $100 you can download it for free. I know that buyer. She pays about 500 times what stuff is worth. I usually bid against her to make her pay more. She bought a backstage pass from me for $350. It is funny to watch her pay so much for stuff then the seller puts more up for sale and it goes way cheap.

Sounds pretty fair Riki. I wouldn't pay much over $50 for anything. Mostly never over $25.

I love collecting Garbage stuff, but only of things I deem "cool". I'm not a completist. And since I'm just a kid, it's pretty impossible to get some of those things anyway. I won't pay $50 for some crap plain promo item just because it is "rare". It has to have awesome artwork (like the US Special, WIGU promos/singles), or some cool element about it...for example the TTITKB single, SYM UK singles (not rare if you ordered on time, heh) or the gold Queer single. And the Supervixen and #1 Crush promos are cool. I hate the unmarked plain as shit items however. And I only buy the UK and US singles usually, unless another country's have some "must-have" quality about it, like the SYM Oz single. Of course, if I happened to run across one at a local shop, I probably would buy it because it's Garbage. I wouldn't go out of my way, however.
Now I do have one VERY rare Garbage item that my parents bought me and I will never share with anyone. I will be buried with that.

I personally wouldn't buy that
The whole "return to vinyl" movement is overrated, and it's nothing special for me, as we have hundreds of them in my house.

I'd pay that price... if I was allowed to bid on the seller 'tatoocaves' auctions (he's blocking me from bidding on ANY of his auctions and wont even reply to my dozens of emails to let me know WHYYYY I'm not allowed to bid when I'm ready to pay a LOT for all his stuff!!!). It's just... this is an official cd, and it's very rare, (I've never seen it before). It doesnt matter what songs are in it, what matters is the cd!

It really is not an "OFFICIAL" cd. It is a radio show they did. It was recorded and printed on a cd to archive it. It is not an official almo or interscope cd. These radio shows show up all over the place. They are not worth $100. I actually bought that show for $9.00 last year and if you look hard you can download it for free.

Yeah, but I want the cd, not download it.
Anyway, I never bid against cathyacm.
And Chris, would you help me with that asshole of a seller (tatoocaves)?

Tatoocaves seems OK in the admittedly limited dealing I've had with him. Did you get into a dispute over an auction with him?

Tatoocaves seems OK in the admittedly limited dealing I've had with him. Did you get into a dispute over an auction with him? Not at all!!! I bid on two of his auctions back in october, won the items, paid for them, gave and got positive feedbacks, that was it. Then back in january I bidded on one of his auctions again only to find out I was blocked from bidding on any of his auctions!!!! I emailed him dozens of times about it, he never replied, which I think is very unprofessional. I mean, the least he could do is give me a reason why he wont let me bid!!! So back in january, when I found out I was blocked and he wouldnt tell me why... I got a friend of mine to bid for me, she won one auction, I paid for it (but got it sent to her address), and now she's been blocked too (there is no way, as far as i know, he could have guessed the item was for me), and he wont reply to her emails either! The only reason he could think it was from me is that I sent cash from Paris, in France, and my friend lives in Germany, but she lives in the french border with a french girl, she's a huge Garbage fans, and they do come to Paris from time to time. So that was no proof!!! I mean... what matters is that the auctions is paid for! I always pay for my auctions, usually using paypal, on the day the auction ends, don't have any negative feedbacks, been using ebay for five years... He's not a fine seller. In the past, he was really not serious: he would put Garbage items up for a £1 starting bid with no reserve, and at the very last minute remove the item if the price was not the one he wanted. He did that maybe 10 or 20 times. It is very frustating when you're the highest bidder! And one of the item went up to £50, he still removed it because he wanted it to go up to £150, a grotesque price, the item was NOT worth that much, not even £50. He got four or five warnings, that is why now he's putting reserve and a higher starting bid. Also, everything seems to show that this guy worked for mushroom at one point. Some items he's selling have NEVER been released, never been intended for a release, I'm not sure he's allowed to sell them if they were not meant to be seen by the public. AND if he worked for mushroom, he's selling items on Garbage's back. He's certainly got at least £3000 with those auctions!!! I'm not sure the band would be too happy about it. I mean, it's normal to sell promos and such... but this is different! The reason I can think of why he doesnt like me... (not liking a person should not be a reason to block them and ignore them). I once told him I was running the Garbage fanclub Queen Helen, and he emailed me saying he checked with mushroom and bmg and could not find anything about it or me, he asked me what was the fanclub then, and I never replied because I had no time to do so. But I don't see why it'd be the reason? Or maybe the fact that I'm in contact with the band and their labels and he doesnt want them to find out who he is and that he's selling those items....

Ebay does recommend that a seller notify a bidder before blocking them. You could try asking someone at ebay to discuss it with tatoocaves.

My hatred for Cathyacmc has just been reaffirmed. I was watching a signed Milk promo set, she didn't seem to be bidding on it, and of course as soon as I put my bid in, it got outbid by hers. Right up to my limit... Christ, I hate people who keep chucking money at auctions to win them.

Yeah, but at the bottom of his webpage, it says: "E-mail me if you have any further questions or would like to purchase a copy for $30 including shipping"

True. But I emailed her and she said it was the last copy for awhile. So I think I did the right thing.
