jman2000 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 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?

James Bond Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I got Lies on cassette for free. That was a good deal. Also, $2 was a steal for Chinese Democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troccoli Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman2000 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 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? http://www.troccolitm.com/GNRNews.html?1261855567849http://www.troccolitm.com/GNRNews2.html?1261856183575http://www.troccolitm.com/GNRNews3.html?1261858899259http://www.troccolitm.com/GNRNews4.html?1261858990778I 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!

troccoli Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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!
