I wish this would happen, I would love to have even just digital versions of singles, because finding the physical versions of some is so hard D:

We should have a trade thread on here as clearly fans wanting to get singles - unless that's against forum rules

On another forum I go on you're allowed to post eBay links but not sell directly through the forum in case someone doesn't pay for it, etc., idk about trading or whether it's the same here. Good idea though, and like Paul said on Twitter if with the new album there's physical singles over here that some peoe can't get I'd be happy to send a couple out if anyone wants, lol.

Definitely - I got the Pablove CD through the forum - got one posted for me I'm happy to do the same - seriously though I'll look through my duplicate singles cos I have a few like Special CD1 off top of my head happy to give away

The problem I've had with eBay sections of forums in the past, in the Garbage community and elsewhere, is that often people post links to auctions that you have your eye on, and it ultimately ends up costing you to win, so theres a bit of selfishness admittedly on that side; or you lose, and you end up feeling negative towards the person that posted the link. Think about it - you've been watching something for six days, the view counter is 006 and five of them are you just checking the page every day, and on day seven someone posts about it on a forum and everyone bids. Infuriating isn't the word!!!! Also, I moderated elsewhere years ago, and I ended up deleting a few eBay threads because I wanted to win, I'm shamed to admit.
The upside of it is that poeple might find something really cheap thanks to another forum member, but to be frank, it isn't exactly rocket science to go on eBay and search for Garbage and find it yourself. I just think it's fairer to not have an eBay section, and it leaves a bit of fun in bidding for rare items (trust me, when you start taking eBay losses personally you really need a cold bath and a reality check. I've been there and it's not pretty!). Both me and Marco's collections are at the level that we play a little friendly one-up game with our wins, but I know he wins some just like I win some and I lose some, and I think if he posted a link to something I wanted I'd get pissed off at him, and vice versa I think he would at me to, quite rightly.
------
As for trading and selling, I don't particularly have a problem with either, and I dont think Dan does, as its happened here before on the odd occasion - but as long as it's established forum members doing it, and not people registering and posting once just to sell their wares.
------
And to follow up what Sophie said, next year, any commercial releases from the album, if anyone wants the UK versions I'm happy to buy extra and send them on for either the retail cost plus shipping, or a trade. I usually buy extra copies of the CD and 7" singles on the day of release.

This is probably illegal but I'll trade in private any of the UK iTunes official Garbage iPod videos in return for Special and Why Do You Love Me (with Book Blur) from the US store or Stupid Girl from the Australian store. I have OHWIR, Queer, ITIP, Special (UK version), Cherry Lips, SYM, WDYLM and SINTE from the UK store. Damn region-specific licensing

What's the Uk version of Special? US videos won't work unless you remove the DRM

iTunes doesnt have DRM anymore. UK version of Special is the first version of the video that broadcast in 1998. The US version is the one with the intro and outro text, that one didnt appear til 1999; its on the Absolute Garbage DVD.

No the version on all AG DVDs is the long version.

Oh definitely, I don't like to get competitive with people on eBay though so whenever there's something I've got my eye on I never post the link, haha, not only because I don't want whoever doesn't win the item to feel bitter but also because I don't want competition regardless if I know them or not. We all know what it's like to get the eBay sweats in the closing five minutes of an auction and losing the item despite your best sniping efforts. :')
