What was your best GNR item related steal?

I thought this would be kind of fun...

So what item did you really get a steal on? Where'd you find it? Any story behind it?

Mine would probably be my Duff Believe in Me Advanced Cassette Promo that I paid $1 for sealed. Not a big deal, but I'm still early in collecting.

What about you guys?

Live From The Jungle CD in mint condition for $25. Then last year dropped a box of CD's I was moving and it shattered, now they're expensive as fuck :(

Wow, where'd you find it? I think I just saw one recently on eBay for $45... it might be still on there. Not the worst price :shrugs:

Live From the Jungle EP on vinyl, with OBI strip.....got it for $20 at a used record store. Granted, I'm in Japan, but still!

Back in high school, I traded some crappy records and CDs with a store owner and got Lies on vinyl (with the "banned" text) and a double vinyl bootleg called "44 Caliber Horticulture."

Also got some other stuff from the same guy...Oklahoma 2-disc boot and TSI? on orange vinyl....all really cheap.

Last week I bought a used copy of Lies....it also had the banned text AND the uncensored titties inside....got it for $2.50!

Other amazing steals:

http://www.troccolitm.com/ShirtRareAsFuck.html - $150 if I remember correctly. A steal given the rarity

http://www.troccolitm.com/Ring.html - $1300 I believe. A steal given the gold value and the rarity/historical significance concerning GNR. Plus it comes with provenance - the bill of sale from Steven's mom to the place I bought it from!

Wow, wish I could get a Live Like a Suicide shirt like that. Off topic, but about how much did you pay for these a piece?

I know someone that has these for sale, and he also has some flyers. He worked with Faster Pussycat back in the day. He said he attended GNR gigs whenever he could, and also went to Poison to pick up some chicks! :lol:

Definitely not cheap. $150-$200 each at least if I recall correctly.

Nice TAY, and that's awesome jman! One piece of advice though (and this goes for everyone). Never collect anything with the intention of making money. Don't get me wrong, I hope we all become quadrillionaires if and when we sell our collections. But we can't rely on that. Collect it only because you love it.

That's why I collect, I don't collect for the money I collect for the enjoyment of tracking down the items, and it being a challenge to get them all. I used to collect some Nintendo stuff, and actually did make a huge profit on it now that I'm not that interested in it anymore, so now that will be some money I'll use for GNR stuff.

I sure will! I think it's 3-4 of them. The guy already sent me pics, flyers also, but not sure if he'd want me posting here so I'll wait. He had a ticket or two also.

Hah, both of those, I no sooner made a deposit into my account and then they were gone. But, I have got to see both in person and I know where they have ended up so I'm glad they're safe! ;)

TAB - I recall the Robe! I was so pissed I missed the ending of the auction!
