ITW 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) How do you think Axl should combat the eBayers? From what I've read, it seems to me as if they are really pissing him off on this tour. I'm thinking that he should just sign a few thousand pics and sell them on eBay himself. Or maybe they could sell them on their official site. Edited March 12, 2012 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) eBay has been around for awhile now, and this is the first tour I remember where there's been rants and/or complaints about eBayers. Do you think that there is a push on because of the Hall of Fame induction? Edited March 12, 2012 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glow Inc. Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I think this band has way bigger problems to solve than the ebayers. Edited March 12, 2012 by The Glow Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Linguini Occurrence Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Indeed. It's also sad that this is a topic that we resort to talking about because there is nothing else.Better than starting a thread about who pranked Beta by taking her phone.I would rather Axl pose with fans for pics instead of signing autographs, but if he insists on signing do it only at GNR shows/events or for fans wearing tour/member shirts. I also like the idea of fans having to prove they know something about GNR first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 How about by just not giving a fuck about them? I've yet to see any Facebook or Twitter post by another band in which they complain about eBay auctions.Exactly. Of all the things to complain and get mad about it......this should be pretty low on the importance and "must do something about this" list.

dalsh327 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It's because they're playing smaller venues and prob. know what hotels he's staying in. I don't think it's anything above and beyond what's been posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowmass Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It is what it is.....it comes with the fame/fortune. Now that he "they" are semi relevant again etc...people are interested. Although I'm pretty sure Axl's always been popular/relevant. Axl used to bitch about the people taking photos back in the day until he realized it was a losing battle. Same goes here....to a degree.

Axl_morris Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I thought axl was 'over the ebayer' and now gnr just ranted about them the other day.Best way to stop them is not sign anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruel Intentions Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Just stop complaining about it. Who gives a fuck what people do after you sign stuff? Seriously, it's not even a big deal. People sell stuff all the time, it happens. That's what happens when you're famous. If it bothers him that much then stop signing everything altogether. There are a million other pressing issues I wish he would care this much about that are way more important than eBayers selling his signature.
