troccoli Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Just a little update here. I actually won tickets for the 1st Metallica show, so at this point I would consider the trade for one ticket to the other three nights (preferred) or one ticket to 2 of the remaining 3 nights. On another note, a lot of people are asking me things like: How much? Or: PM me a price. Understand this: I haven't even decided if I am going to go that route yet. Now for another question for all of you: If I go the auction route, would you prefer an "open" auction like how eBay does it, or a "silent" auction where there would be a deadline for you to hand in offers to me. With the silent auction, no one else would be able to see your bid. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkAboutYou Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Ebay auction probably the most fair I'm not the biggest fan of silent auctions Edited August 13, 2011 by ThinkAboutYou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) I'm all in favor for an eBay auction. Unfortunately I won't be walking away with the item as my pockets aren't as deep as some other people here, but I definitely think an auction would benefit you the most.EDIT: I'd also like to thank you for answering my question to the best of your abilities. I hate it when people leave me hanging LOL, but it seems as though there really isn't much to read on about these CD's...all I know is that I want one!

AmyL Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Not the ebay thing. Go for a private thing. I would do what your doing now. Try too trade for something you really want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillageGorillaHead Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 If there's two available, sell the fuck out of one and put the other for a competition between forum members for the original price-Just what I'd do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 eBay would be the most fair.Instead of buying them all and having all this commotion about these, you should have PMed the link to a few members you're close with, or posted it on the site and had first-come-first-serve. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneisKing1389 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 eBay would be the most fair.Instead of buying them all and having all this commotion about these, you should have PMed the link to a few members you're close with, or posted it on the site and had first-come-first-serve. Just my opinion That's kind of how I feel. I think buying them all from Ebay like he did and jacking the price up is no better than somebody who's NOT a collector doing that, especially because someone was nice enough to PM him about the auction. But again, if I knew they were all legit, I probably would've bought more than one. I certainly would've told one friend about it, but I think I would've bought me at least two.I'm curious about that grenade cover found in Germany as well.

Black Sabbath Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I would have bought two. One to open and one to keep sealed.I would have then PMed someone close on the board to me that I think would have been interested in them.Oh well, though. I'm not going to go on some crazy auction and bid more than what I know should have been paid for one. Good look, everyone who does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Awesome man - great find. I'd love one but I would never be able to afford it. Sweet as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seely Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Holy hell, nice find!I like the idea of a raffle/lottery thing. Much in the same way people are discouraged from selling bootlegs, maybe the same principle could be said here, though as this is official band product, you couldn't be blamed for wanting to sell. The way I see it, we're all fans, and a random raffle where the winner pays the cost you spent, and maybe a little extra more, wold be the fairest way, and not leave people out because of the depth of their pockets.

If you had the cash would you only buy one? FUCK NO, you would buy the whole lot straight away, I would even ask if I get a discount for buying all 8 together Edited August 19, 2011 by williambailey01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troccoli Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 I messaged the seller via eBay again and here's my question and their reply:Hey there. Not sure if you remember me, I bought 6 of these from you. Is there any way you could tell me more information about them? How you got them? Did you get them through Bestbuy? Amoeba records? Direct from the record company and/or band/band members? I am a big GNR collector and am always interested in the history of the items I collect.
