My experience is a couple of days old now. Having been moved By my "Nostalgia" Replies last week, I was thinking about how I miss my old Records. Like most, when C bloody D's came on the scene. I ditched all my Vinyl for the silver disc, only to regret it virtually every day since. Deciding to do something about it, I logged onto E Bay in the search of all my old favourites. Straightaway I hit Gold, there was a guy in Blackburn selling over a hundred various LP'S, 18" singles and 45's. He gave a detailed description of the vinyl for sale (loads of crackers) along with a Denon Turntable, that he would throw in the sale. Not wanting to miss out on this vinyl goldmine. I quickly got in touch and offered a very optimistic £50 in the hope that he might be tempted, alas there was nothing doing, he was going to wait for the auction to end, and hopefully get a much bigger price. I was gutted, how much was I going to have to spend to claw back a bit of my youth?? The auction ended at 12.20pm on Saturday. I got home from work at 12.05pm and eagerly switched on the p.c. to find that it still had only one bid....................9
9p. Even though the price was so low, I was convinced that the one bidder had put in a huge amount, and as there was no starting price, E Bay had bid the most maximum to secure his bid..........99p on his behalf..................
.............. I hovered over the Keyboard like a Praying Mantis on speed, stopwatch at the ready, my sweaty finger ready to confirm my bid of £50. In the hope that this one bidder would not have time to re bid and snipe me if I beat him............tick, tick, tick, with 5 seconds to go I sent my bid into Cyber Space, cursing that I should have put a bigger bid in............after what seemed like an eternity the screen flashed back on, I had been successful and I had won the item for.....................
........................
.£5.50 What a result. I spent a tenner on petrol going to Blackburn to pick them up, but I haven't stopped smiling since. You should have seen his face when I handed over my £5.50 and sped off with over a hundred pieces of vinyl and a record deck to boot. Also although really pleased with 99% of my purchase, their are a couple of classics. For example KLF's White room which I already have on CD. So I logged back on to E bay and found the said Album for sale at £22.00. So I'm going to lash it back on for sale, and make myself a few bob into the bargain. Thankyou God for smiling on me today....
P.S. I would like to share my good fortune, and maybe others will also. So maybe a Moderator could put a link in this thread whereupon we can gain instant access to the PayPal account were we can submit funds to our beloved LFCREDS.COM and share are wealth. I will certainly be making another contribution, just as soon as my unwanted KLF Album makes another journey through Cyber Space
