    Two have just sold on eBay for around $200 which is a very good price.

    This is one of my holy grail items. Saw one going for 200usd the other day, but the seller was part of the import charges thing on ebay, so it would of cost me another 50cdn on top of shipping/price.. didn't bother to bid. That import charges thing kind of sucks. Canada Post lets so many things slide, that there's no real point prepaying for taxes.

    Yeah, the global shipping program, right? Sucks big time really..
    But I actually bought a sealed Give Way with the original front and back stickers some months ago from a US seller that was using the global shipping program too.. So, since I live in Italy, I just asked him in advance to put the value at about $15 on customs form (that was obviously not what I paid for it), and received it quite fast and with no taxes.. most sellers will agree to do that.

    The problem with global shipping is that ebay assesses the fee's on checkout. As far as I know there's no way to avoid it. Once a seller opts in for the program, it's automated :( Only the really great ebay sellers know not to sign up for the program. Not to mention it delays shipping, because they ship the package to Pitney Bows, who then reships it via USPS :(

    Hi, I'm just wondering what this cd is, I haven't heard of before, tried to search eBay and couldn't find one. Any info or picture would be greatly appreciated.

    From discogs
    ''Give Way is a promotional live CD created for the release of Single Video Theory. It contains 17 tracks (70 minutes) of their performance from Melbourne, Australia on March 5th, 1998 & included an 8 page booklet. It was intended to be given away for free to the first customers purchasing the video from Best Buy stores. The day before the release, the CD’s were recalled and destroyed by Sony. Supposedly this promotion was not properly cleared with the label and/or the band. Best Buy had run a full page add about the release in it’s Sunday circular and when fans lined up at the doors to get their free CD, Best Buy was forced to give away any CD of choice for free with purchase of Single Video Theory. Of the 50,000 CD’s pressed, most copies were destroyed and it is rumored Best Buy was threatened with a $10,000 fine for each unreturned disc. Despite that, a number of copies surfaced over the years (impossible to exactly determine how much of them are survived, but a good guess would be at least 150's-200's, probably more).

    This cd has been professionally mixed / mastered & although it's not the complete show the audio quality is far superior to any other source available including the pre-fm Sony promo.''

    Ok, thanks for the detailed info, I never knew that happened. I do have single video theory but was unaware of the cd that was supposed to be released with it. I know it is rare, but damn 200+USD for an incomplete show.

    Have you people ever heard of "collectability value"? This CD is pretty rare to find, not at all impossible to find, but, just to say, you don't see a sealed copy on sale everyday.. thus the value. I guess you would be even more surprised at the value of the Reeenk Roink then.. and go figure, that is just a cheap looking CD that contains the exact same songs off Ten.

    But if it was on vinyl it would be OK?

    Just playing devil's advocate, I think most of you collectors are nuts!
