mmmmm, ok so rare bootlegs maybe but $100 worth each....i think not, if they go for that i’d sell my copies ;)

Hahaha!! Must be a joke!! Even the start price is a bit too much! It is not even real releases, so they shouldn’t be worth anything. Then I can do a bootleg in 10 copies and sell it for $100 as well saying it is rare, hihihi! ;-)
But on Ebay.de it would maybe work. There things tend to get crazily overpriced quite often...

People need the head testing if they buy it now at those prices...

I found that “Dance Passion” German bootleg in an Argentine auction site, for 45 pesos (15 dollars)...
per_mson said on October 13, 2004 07:31:
Have a look at the auctions now... $20.50 for Dance Passion and the reserve is still not met!! How can people bid that much for something that is not even real?! Well... *sigh* ;P

This is strange, Bertell usually is correct with his prices.
KristinaDK said on October 13, 2004 15:34:
tevensson: well, yes.. he’s expensive, though. ..but what the h***... how could he (as he knows a lot about collecting) mention this to be an ORIGINAL cd!!! *grumf*
Vixzter said on October 13, 2004 16:02:
i used to pay about £10 for bootlegs when they were a big thing (early 90’s at record fairs) but to have a Buy It Now of $100 is hopeful to say the least ;) if they go for over £20 i would be surprised
per_mson said on October 13, 2004 16:54:
Tev: I think he is expensive in general to be honest, but so are most record dealers in Sweden who has a lot of Roxette things I think...
He is a really nice guy though, so that’s of course worth a bit extra, but not too much, hehe! :-)

@vix: Just saw that yyou won that MF promo on Ebay. No offense, but is that thing really worth over $150?!?!?! It is such a thing that will become really cheap (say $20) after some time with some patience. At least it was like that with both the Mazarin and F5F promos.
Vixzter said on October 13, 2004 21:05:
personaly i think it is, but then thats me....i’d rather pay that for a promo than a buy it now of $100 on a bootleg ;P
Vixzter said on October 13, 2004 21:06:
someone else obviously thought it was worth it too otheriwse it wouldve gone for less ;)
per_mson said on October 14, 2004 08:25:
@vix: Fine if you do! Just don cry when you see those small things end for 200 SEK on Tradera in a while, hihihi! ;-))
But on he other hand I also wonder if those people who paid 3000 SEK for a Spegelboll 12” are happy now when you can easily buy them for 800 SEK... and WITHOUT the purple spits!! ;-))
Vixzter said on October 14, 2004 12:53:
I wont be crying coz i got what i wanted, its not about how much its going to be worth or how much it sells for else where, ive got what i wanted so.... ;P
ive brought alot of things in the last 14 years, some i paid more than i should others i paid less than i thought so it kind of evens itself out, if i was buying to sell on then i wouldnt have paid so much but i’m buying coz i collect and so money sometimes doesn’t mean as much as actualy owning an item.
per_mson said on October 14, 2004 14:34:
@Vix: Sorry, I didn’t want to upset you in any way! I am a collector as well and I want everything I don’t have. So I’m the first to understand the craziness of collecting. I do, however, have limits how much I am willing to pay for stuff no matter what it is and how much I want it. Especially if it is something that is not that superrare and that will come again. If I don’t get it immediately I will sooner or later. Nothing I own is for sale either and I never count how much things are worth unless I get a double copy and want to get rid of that one. Why I reacted was that I was so stunned that anyone could think that a normal promo that is released in quite a few copies and is even newly released can be worth that much. But that’s just me! ;-)
Vixzter said on October 14, 2004 17:22:
no offence taken, i’m not saying that its worth that much, but i wasnt the only one bidding and i wasnt there when the auction ended so i put a proxy in, the person who bid agaisnt me obviously thought it was worth whatever they wanted to pay, maybe my proxy was foolish but hey i’ll live with it ;-)
just adds to the ’everyone thinks i’m nuts’ tag ;-)
another promo to add to the collection, i havent brought a rox related item on ebay for ages
AntiMario said on October 15, 2004 18:42:
@per-axel:How much would you pay for Twilight Zone “Emily” 7” or Christopher Barker “One Moment In Time”? Thommy, we can have a nice bargain ;)
per_mson said on October 15, 2004 21:06:
@Antimario: Why?! Do you have them for sale? Feel free to mail me if you want!
AntiMario said on October 16, 2004 09:07:
OK, will mail you. We collect songs not the releases, so some vinyl/CD becomes useless when the song is ripped and is no more for interest. :)
I think me and Thomas have around 5-10 items of Gessle songs for others that you might be very interested in ;)
per_mson said on October 16, 2004 09:09:
Antimario: Great! I’m looking forward to your mail then! :)
per_mson said on October 19, 2004 06:51:
@vix: http://www.tradera.com/auction/auction.asp?aid=8310394 Could have saved you some money...
AntiMario said on October 19, 2004 07:43:
It would not :) I’d like to know who marcusjuregn really is. He buys everything and always on the way! :S
Vixzter said on October 19, 2004 12:06:
your mistaking me for some who gives a damn ;)
i got mine this morning :-D
ally77 said on October 19, 2004 22:19:
I am glad that Vix likes her promo, cause without Vix (I’m nuts) people on here would not have the chance to get a listen, she did not have to share it at all.... she could have kept it to herself and tormented people with it....
Thanx Vix, how’s about we all pay $2 to Vix for thanking her for sharing... $2 ain’t a lot... she’ll soon get her money back!
Jud (moderator) said on October 20, 2004 18:20:
I would not mind paying 1-2$ to her as a thank you, unfortunately Paypal would eat it all in fees :( What to do?
ally77 said on October 20, 2004 19:11:
$2 is £1.10 so ebay fees would be around 20p or so... ermm so if we send $2.50 would help out, can we get the others to join in... dare we start a topic first?
Vixzter said on October 20, 2004 21:11:
well if ppls want to then thanx very much, it was cool to share and i know everyone has been wanting to hear new stuff from marie for ages so :)
and i still havent listened to them! ;)
*goes and takes sanity pills*
in years to come i’ll think......what a knobber....you paid how much LOL! won’t be forgetting this one in a hurry ;)
per_mson said on October 21, 2004 20:19:
@Vix: Really supernice of you to share it with the people here!!! :-))))
I will do like you though and also wait and listen to the full songs.
But I also have the promo (with the booklet) now. Paid 100 SEK for mine.. what is that.. hmm... $13... ;-)
Vixzter said on October 21, 2004 21:34:
LOL
personaly i dont care as theres more important things in life to worry about than how much who paid for what :P
i could tell u prices of ’rare’ stuff that ive paid for that would make u ill at the thought but i wont coz i collect for myself and not because of what something is worth coz lets face its rox stuff aint gonna be worth much in years to come if ppls now don’t know or give a a damn who they are now.
well done for getting the promo
the question is....would you have shared ure snippets or??
per_mson said on October 21, 2004 21:48:
@vix: Well, I must say that it matter to me what I pay for stuff. I’m not made of money, so of course it matters if I pay $10 or $100 for something. I personally don’t care either what it is worth or not worth when I finally have something, cause that is not what collecting is about. But I do care what I have to pay for stuff. If I can’t get something cheap (in my opinion), I simply won’t buy it. I will get it sooner or later anyway. At least it has been like that so far.
Well, I might be a cheap bastard when it comes to how much I’m willing to pay for stuff, but when it comes to sharing songs with other fans I’m definetly not. If I have something someone has an interest of hearing (and can’t get, cause I don’t want to spread songs you can easily buy) I’m more than willing to share that! No Problem! Nothing pisses me more off than people who has information (songs, record information or whatever) and they think it is some kind of secret and something they are only entitled to. Unfortunately that is the case now and then in the Rox-world if I got things right, but I hope it has gotten less.
Vixzter said on October 21, 2004 21:57:
at the end of the day i collect coz i like what i have, i’m not thinking about what its going to be worth coz really its not going to worth anything later on when ppls dont care who rox/marie/per whoever is.
(sell now why its still worth sommit) ;)
(something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it)
i’m not made of money either, i just tend to have this addiction that is anything rox/marie related.
every now and then i tend to pay something very silly for something very trivial and hey presto it seems ive done it with this promo
this promo is the first thing ive brought rox related in.....well (not including mainstream GT stuff) a very long time
funny how this topic started on high priced bootlegs LOL (which aren’t real but had a buy it now not far off what i paid for a legitimate item!)
per_mson said on October 21, 2004 22:34:
Hehehe, yeah, and I think it is my fault a bit it got out of hand... Sorry for that! :)
Vixzter said on November 9, 2004 18:18:
who’s insane now.....me who paid lots for a promo or these ppls who paid me lots for a cd that costs £8.99 ;)

Well, both are insane... ;)
But great you can make some profit on those crazy folks... :)
Vixzter said on November 9, 2004 22:37:
