Darth Elvis Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 My best ebay buys was Starsailor by Tim Buckley on CD for 20 and Peyote Radio Theatre (Original Promo) by Jeff Buckley for 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragudave Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 EBay can be great, although watch out for expensive p & p, dodgy sellers from abroad and mint condition vinyl thats anything but... My best bargains - well I just got a 5 CD boxset for 9 squids incl p & p that costs almost 60 squids in the shops. I got Pere Ubu's Dub Housing mint original LP for 3 pounds, Sonic Youths 4 tunna brix & Evol LP for a fiver etc etc,DavePS the best tip for Ebay is to avoid a bid fever if you get outbid.

Alan Cynic Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Not totally on topic, I know, but William Schaff (who did the artwork for GYBE's "Lift your skinny fists....") played at Drakes as part of the Iditarod about a year ago. He's a really nice guy and has lots of great drawings, collages etc for sale. (He also did the artwork for my own album on Secret Eye).
