Spotted this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2593305284&category...
I think it is a bargain, but the seller only ships to the US, which is a shame, still ideal for any US fans looking for it, or perhaps buying it to sell on....

Well it is one I did not have in my collection for a long time, and certainly I DO NOT see it popping up on ebay that often... so IS IT A bargain for anyone that is searching for it... Perhaps it is easy to come across in Sweden, but elsewhere this may not be the case!
I at first thought this market place was a good idea but now all I am seeing is people having a go, if you can’t answer with a constructive comment please don’t bother at all!

My friend bought it for £25 back in 1992 from mail order, only time i’ve seen it.
If it’s available for $2... I WANT NOW!

Well, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion...
I actually also think that you can get this Maxi-CD on Ebay Germany any day. Most of the time even for just 1 Euro...

@ally77: Constructive?? Is it constructive to tell people it is a bargain when it isn’t? I have collected records for quite some years now and if you look a bit further than ebay.com and ebay.co.uk you will see it IS common. Really common. Just because people has paid 25 Pounds for it doesn’t mean it is rare. People pay whatever for common stuff nowadays, which I can’t get at all.
With your attitude it wouldn’t be wrong to say that a Look Sharp! CD from USA is power-rare and tell everyone to buy it... and this just because I live in Sweden where it was never sold.
Have a look here:

Sure, the last two are higher, but as you can see there are no bids on them either. This is only what is there now. In a week there are most likely another 3-4 of them.

If you bothered to read what I wrote you will see I said it was a bargain to anyone who does not have it... I search ebay a lot (please note that means worldwide!!!!) and I have not seen a copy of this CD single for such a low price! Not everyone is as obsessed as some when it comes to collecting stuff...
I was under the impression this was a MARKET PLACE to advertise stuff... therefore I was pointing out an item that in MY opinion is hard to find...
And my attitude.... I don’t claim to collect every worldwide release going.. I am not that lame... so you know what you can do with that comment!

per_mson: I was the one that said about £25... I never mentioned anything about it being rare. Personally i’ve never looked for it. I was just saying, if it can be got for $2, I want it! I would never pay £25 for it.
Why has this gone into an argument? Was there need for it?
In the UK it is rare... yes with the internet it’s more available. But I really don’t see why this is turning into an argument.

Your three great links are ideal... except slight problem sellers don’t take paypal... and not everyone can read German!
I also would never pay £25 for a single, I hardly ever have paid over £10 but I know people who have but that’s upto them... each to there own...
As far as I am concerned discussion closed.. to me item is rare... and at that price is a bargain to be had...

I never argued until someone else started to argue. I just said my opinion, which I think I am entitled to do. But whatever, post as many “rare” links as you want. It is up to you! ;-)

What’s abargain about that one? That is a really common CD-single and shouldn’t cost much more than maximum $2 or something.
