ArthurSpectatorAnd one of our members just bought #11622 for US$ 165 on eBay, item 330313064408. That’s even cheaper as the bootlegs, they sometimes went for US$ 200+ also. I’m not a vinyl collector (OK, I have a few vinyl singles for fun, and the Siamese Dream album, my most favourite Pumpkins album, on black vinyl) so I wouldn’t be able to tell what is a fair price… They tend to be between US$ 200 and 300 all the time I think. Did we ever see 1 going for US$ 400+? So when the market thinks that is the price, then that is the price.
I have more problems with prices like US$ 700 for 1 cd of the Mellon Collie acetate set, that happened a few years ago on eBay. It would mean that the complete set is, like, US$ 1750 – 2000? And what about Billy’s test pressings of it (which I own also
)? Double those last prices again? I think that is fukken crazy… To me that is not the way to go, as a collector. I can understand the greediness a little, the urge to find something, but then in the end it should also have a fair price… Just my thoughts…
And when it comes to lower or higher numbers and sealed or not sealed, I’m with manillascissor. I don’t care so much either (not many cds are numbered anyway). And when a new Smashing Pumpkins cd arrives, and it’s sealed, then I leave it sealed most of the times, especially when it is on SPfreaks.com already. When I think it is worthwhile scanning anyway, I unwrap it without too many second thoughts…

You mean this? It’s so relaxing, looking at it for a few minutes…(and then run to the little room to throw up…
)
ArthurSpectatorGood idea, and it would be on my path to do it, but I’m just too busy with work, girlfriend, SPfreaks.com…
ArthurSpectatorright??[/quote:3op1xrg3]
Right. Maybe not when your name is Rage Against The Machine, but when it is Smashing Pumpkins… I have no bad feeling at all when Billy sells a song here and there to a company that wants to use it in a commercial. So what? Is the music suddenly worse, have the drumrolls changed or the guitarnotes flipped? Guess not. I have my stories with the music, and nothing can change that.OK, some choices Billy makes when selling music, I have to frown, as it wouldn’t be my choice, but hey, I’m not Billy…
ArthurSpectatorBy the way Arthur, cant you use that picture i posted above to add it in our collection ?[/quote:3c2bct2y]
Of course! Can you send in 1 scan of the (CD in the) package also, even if that is a silly plastic sleeve?
ArthurSpectatorWe always wondered if those DK promos were fakes or genuine, The rose March and this one.They are genuine enough.My souces got this straight from Warner Music Denmark, also there is a Tarantula promo.He promised me to check out the Tarantula promo for me since he had that one as well.

This is just the live version of Today. I cut the interview, did some EQ’g and faded it out at the end before the DJ chimes back in. I did for a personal compilation and thought I’d share.[/quote:2c9acnna]

Once in a While [7]@blueczarina: nice hairdo, but I feel like ruining it if you do not reconsider that \"avoiding\" behaviour.

ArthurSpectatorare you dealing drugs to younger members Arthur?
for shame- i might have to alert the authorities. hopefully they will throw you in jail and confiscate your pumpkin collection and put it up for auction.

What?
ArthurSpectatorThe black of the posters/frames looks good on the orange however, at least on the pics…
Cool pics, Honeymade Opiate!
ArthurSpectatorAnd if you’re on it anyway, try the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine also. Grow some Peyote Cactus and you might want to try to make it yourself. Otherwise, ask your dealer for mescaline.
It’s hella fun , but use it wisely…
