    errrr

    i stole all my older brothers' vinyl .....

    :oops:


    that's not stealing - i prefer to think of it as shopping in their rooms. i did that to my brothers CDs once. he never noticed so i can only assume he also doesn't give a shit. besides, the second i became interested in anything, his interest would STOP. he used to love pearl jam. not once i fell in love with them. heh.

    all my bros are many years older than me ... the closest is 7 years ... which means i got a lot of kiss and deep purple and eagles and fleetwood mac and elton john and suchlike :roll:

    my brother actually had arse taste in music when i was interested in stealing. i think i got a smashing pumpkins cd and that was it... oh, actually, i took the collective soul stuff and never listened to it. arse.

    my parents vinyls were slim pickins too.. my friends' parents had BADASS collections. mine had the morman tabernacle choir and olivia newton-john. the best score was a 60s pop compilation.

    Jesus what a really hideous story. That person has bought some seriously bad fucken karma on themselves.
    I bet there balls fall off in a really embarassing way.

    he he you know that actually makes me feel kinda better

    and na mans it wasn't the zebra one (luckily, by the sounds) it was a black and white photo of Ed in the classic microphone pose with the writing in gold over the top, maybe just the budget little NZ version of a 'real' PJ poster

    BUT nonetheless I loved it! grrrr!

    climb_high_nz you better be getting that vinyl back! Now! you never, ever lend out any vinyl ever again, ya hear? actually sometimes I wonder if i should insure my PJ vinyl. serious! i dunno. should I??

    seriously dude unless it's Jesus himself you're lending it to, just don't do it

    yup, i've been considering a bit lately about dumping the lot while it's still worth a bit and highly sort after, cause you know in ten years it will probably be worth less, not more. it's only the true greats that hold their value, like Beatles, Elvis ect. i know you all probably think that pearl jam are the greatest, but sadly it's just not true, they were the greatest of a time, the early 90s, but they are not the type that will span generations like the beatles and elvis, the whole music industry is not like that any more.

    the closest ive got was a laminated (i know, huh???) one that has come up twice on ebay - sold and then sold again .... both times it went for just under $100!!!! ... but both times i missed it ...

    although the average on ebeans is about $300

    yea but, why are you buying it? as an investment? or for enjoyment? you'll love it when your older for the memories associated with each piece.

    i love having vinyls - even though i hardly ever get to listen to them - i like pulling them out and looking at them... and certain friends insist on pawing them and requesting certain tracks. it's much more fun listening with friends like that than it is to hit play on itunes or whatever

    did that one actually sell, or did they just keep re-listing it? like if you are gonna frame it no one is really gonna know it's laminated. like if you only want it for personal use, and ain't gonna trade it or sell it, does it really matter. some people get to precious about these posters.

    i'd hate to think what i got in tubes round the house, some of these poster freaks would probably cry. i know not long ago i took a few out to lay flat but that was only cause i was thinking of framing them.

    investment.

    PJ have made plenty of money from me, time to make a little in return :).

    but seriously, i'd rather they go to someone how will enjoy them as much as i have, and not just go on to my kids who will probably say "look at this crap" and throw it out or sell it with my ashes in a garage sale for $2.50.

    no it was the buyer of the first auction that then relisted it themselves ... still had it bookmarked from the first sale, so i checked - and yea, i figured id be framing it anyway, not making money out of it. i only wanted it because it was my first pj show, for sentimental reasons.

    precious ... none of my posters have uv glass or anything like that. they are just framed myself. and yea, ive still got some rolled up in tubes. and after this round of shows, a couple will no doubt get re-rolled and replaced by a newer print
