troccoli Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Do you have all/most of your Gn'R stuff displayed, troccoli?Sadly, none of it is displayed. I sure hope to change that sometime in the near future. Of course the first step is needing a bigger place.Other amazing steals:http://www.troccolitm.com/ShirtRareAsFuck.html - $150 if I remember correctly. A steal given the rarityhttp://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!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!Glad you got to see them! TAY - Did you get those Axl converse shoes repaired yet?

Around what price did you pay if you don't mind asking? Also, did Axl actually wear them/were they a pair made for him? Because I already have Converse Weapon Turtledoves I'm wearing right now, I don't need repros. If they were actually ones Axl wore I'd be interested.

If they were actually ones Axl wore I'd be interested.Probably best to contact ebay user sbot1024 and ask him all the questionsBe aware that the shoes are in terrible condition and smell they have alot of glue marks around the soles and the soles have lifted (I doubt Axl wore them) (They also don't have Axl on the tongue like the estranged shoes) Edited April 13, 2013 by ThinkAboutYou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman2000 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Ok, thanks man. Just sent him a message. I obviously won't be paying too much for them if they weren't worn by him, nor were they even promos or something that were intended for him.

AmyL Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I don't have any actual proof but they guy i got from was his neighbor at the time and when Axl moved he left a bunch of things in the trash and the guy said this was one of the things he had left. it looks real. even has wear marks from being in a wallet. don't think I could part with it. Not for any amount that anyone would be willing too pay anyway. lol its my favorite item in my collection. I am guessing that card was all over Europe when it was actually active.

morf13 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) I live in NJ. When I was 17, My Friend Eddie and I went to New York to visit some girls we knew. They lived in NY City. They suggested we go down to some of the local record stores because of the large variety of obscure records, bands,imports,etc. My Buddy Ed and I were both very big rock & metal fans. GNR had just hit MTV, and 'Welcome to the Jungle' was like nothing I had heard before. The first time I heard it,I went out and bought Appetite. We looked all over the place in bins and on the shelves and we mostly found lots of copies of Appetite. We almost gave up, when we stumbled upon something we were not familiar with. It was called, 'Live like a suicide', on cassette. The price, $6.98! But they only had one copy,and we both wanted it.We decided to flip a coin and see who would get it. I won! I bought it,and we listened to it in the car all the way back to NJ. We were blown away. We had no idea what we found or how rare it was. When I got back to my small town in NJ, all of the kids my age were into GNR by now,and wanted the tape. A few people found the tape for sale from a couple music sellers in the back of music magazines. A few people had tried to order it, but they were all sold out. We didnt know how few copies were in existance. It wasnt until LIES came out that we knew what we had,and how rare it was. I held onto it for many years,and then about 10 years ago when I was hurting for cash,I sold it on Ebay for about $100. I regret getting rid of it sometimes, but it was cool just to have owned it, and have bought it when it was freshly released Edited April 14, 2013 by morf13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morf13 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 some of my other GNR stuff includes a nice 4 disc boxset GNR 1987-1991 Sessions in a gold boxset, with covers,demos,unreleased tracks,etc...pretty cool,but not worth alot. It wassupposedly limited to 1000 copies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller listed it on eBay wrong and I stumbled upon it.Of course the Red Hand CD that I stumbled across with a buy it now of $9.99 USD. I resold that a few months later for $1,000 AUD which was about $1,130 USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jman2000 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Good items odi, not sure if that was that great of a deal though. At least you're happy and can get more items! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odi666 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 No I know....but one thing is that I live in Sweden and as is most items are more available in the US from where I most of the time have to pay $18 in shipping costs. Also customs can give us a hazzle if we're unlucky. This was an easy buy from a record store here so I'm satisfied anyway :-)This weeks buy was Spaghetti Incident - New but not sealed - 1993 Holland print for $13...Good items odi, not sure if that was that great of a deal though. At least you're happy and can get more items! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Famous Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've thought about this for a while, my favorite steals have been; my three Appetite leathers (two of which are prototypes), UYI leather, okay I'll keep it simple and say all the jackets, Guns N' Moses shirt, Versace shirt, Axl n' Elvis pin, and Street Of Dreams single. Not totally my best steals, but my favorites by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
