it looks like you just answerred your own question.
i think 200 euro is about normal for this rarity. you don’t see it too often on ebay. on top of that, this one is in perfect condition, with letter and bag. it’s normal that people go nuts.
i’m more surprised by the crazy amounts people are willing to pay for mcis 3lp every day.
is that a question?
i’m waiting for the matrix codes, and how they look like (stamped, or handwritten).
once we have these, i think it will be easier to decide if this new mcis vinyl is real or fake.i checked with my local vinyl shop owner and he can’t find this mellon collie re-release on his system, so he thinks it’s a pirated version.
he could be right. if this is out, and available in the netherlands, he would be able to order it too.
if this is indeed a bootleg, then they were probably made in the netherlands or in the neighborhood (germany?), since that is where the first copies showed up.
someone on netphoria, also from the netherlands, also found a copy in a record store, for only 35 euros.

i also bought one on ebay recently. i was expecting it to go for $30-40, but i got it for about $10.
i think that’s way too simplified.
\"they make enough money from touring and merch, so they should not complain\" is extremely lame as an argument.
sure, if artists agree with you, why not, good for everyone. but it’s not to you to decide what they should be happy with and what they are allowed to complain about. if they spend months and millions in a studio to record an album, i think it’s acceptable that they expect to make some money out of it, no?\"a couple of hundred quid\" is almost too retarded to ever be published anywhere. astronomical amounts of money are lost on piracy. if it were only a couple of hundred quid, i’d even volunteer to make up for it, just to make the world a juster place.
i’m not really a downloader myself and basically i don’t really care too much about the issue. if people want to steal music, that’s their own business. but every discussion about it is so funny: the downloaders always try to find a reason to defend their actions. and they’re wrong. it is stealing.
if you think something is too expensive or immoral or whatever, then i think you shouldn’t buy it. this doesn’t give you the right to steal it. i don’t go to the local jaguar garage to steal their newest car because \"it’s ridiculously expensive\". i don’t go to the baker’s and steal their bread because i think they’re asking too much.
if you want to download music illegally, simply admit you don’t want to pay for it. admit you’re stealing it because you’d rather keep the money for something else, or simply because it is possible for you to download the music, whatever. but don’t go looking for some lame ass excuses, because i believe you’ll always make a fool out of yourself doing so.i personally don’t care too much what’s behind the music i buy either. i like to buy a cd in a store. i see what they ask for it and if i agree with the price, i buy it. if i think a cd is too expensive, i don’t buy it.
maybe you’re more idealistic and you truly disgust the music industry and you really dislike the way they sell your favourite artist’s music. but then isn’t the right thing to do simply not buying the music? why must this imply that you should steal the music? i think that’s a mistake.
by not buying the music, astronomical amounts will be lost by the music industry by not selling anything directly, instead of by theft. i think that message would be much stronger.flexis are very vulnerable. they bend easily, but bending damages the flexi forever.
also, because they’re made on such cheap material, the quality is lower than regular vinyl.you have to upload your picture somewhere. i believe there are many free services for this, in case you don’t have your own webspace.
to show the picture in your post you have to put the url of your uploaded picture between IMG tags.
wow, that gigantic siyl poster is really cool.
so is the rest, of course. but that poster is the biggest thing i have ever seen. and i’ve been on safari.
