Thanks, yeah if you scroll back in this thread I kept whining. I apologize to everyone now!


I question the authenticity of his.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Yeah, I requested the total from the seller. It took, like, a day.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Well, they LOOK legit, and he IS from Japan . . .

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

The m-2 guy has sold about 6 now I reckon and raked in about $800-$900 in the process. Makes you sick.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

...

my head hurts.

imma go lie down

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

This is really starting to suck. I've been scanning eBay (literally) 50 times a day for going on three weeks now, and apparently somehow missed the discs again. :P Did the auction last any more than a couple of minutes?

I'm glad to hear that you guys got the ones that came up, but it's getting hard not to start to get a little pissed about the way this has been handled. :(

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

yeah, i think they were up for all of 5 minutes..
it was pure luck that i happened to be on when
i saw them....

also, it looks like the script that 'thebang' used
to check ebay for them worked out..(although
i didn't end up needing it)..

The discs have the barcoding thing on the playing side - I assume you can't reproduce that if they are copies

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

pity i was sick this am... :(

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

I suppose. Not that you could tell from the eBay picture. But, just from the eBay picture, it looks identical to my discs, including the jewel case, disc color, etc.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Hopefully i'll get the shipping cost soon!

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

ahhh!
Everytime someone bumps this thread i think there are new 3CD-sets on ebay!!!:D
I guess i have to wait. :(

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Hopefully you'll get the SHUT UP is more like it-- i-i mean congratulations!

:mad:

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

the most money I ever spent on a CD was $110 on the KMFDM "power" single CD which had a total print run of about 200, low and behold, two weeks after spending that I won an auction with that disc plus others in the lot for $10. goes to show, it always comes back on ebay, so I say hang tough about getting these discs, after all if you want the audio you can get it, it's the collector in you that could lead you to spend so much money, but I think that blowing that much on a Cdr is crazy, imho.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Neg1
- did you hear anything back on the shipping charges yet?

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

nope, nothing yet...
i guess they're still getting around to checking
their mail...

the price was listed there. your shipping
price should also be listed. ok, now to

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Don't know where you all are residing, but it took about 2 weeks for Tokyo to arrive in the North Central USA... FYI. :)

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Yep, paid yesterday as well. Now i just have to sit and wait patiently :)

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

For someone who successfully bid for an ebay tokyo cd sold by the mysterious m2 - it was posted by (and paid to) a Mr Junji Sugita (a friend who lived in Japan confirmed the signiture on the ParcelForce envelope!) - my copy, as far as I can ascertain, is a genuine cd. What are my feelings for this whole business? Mixed, basically. I now own a rare Underworld cd which is giviving me immense aural pleasure, but, aslo guilt, in the sense that it is utterly frustrating for other genuine UW fans not to have a copy, and for the fact that the large sums that I, and others, are paying for said cd, are not going into the pockets of those that matter, ie Karl, Rick, Darren P etc who created this truly wondrous music in the first place.

Is this something we now have to accept in the global/online market place? I have fond memories of perusing my local WHSmiths for the latest vinyl lp releases? Golly - am I old??

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

you do know that a recording of this gig was repeatedly broadcast over dirty radio?

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

What city are you in?

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

i'm waiting three plus weeks, patiently, but with much anticipation here in PA - think shipping was 2 pounds extra btw...congrats to you for getting in.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

I'm kind of with with you on this - even though I supped straight from the well (so to speak) rather than from some dubious secondary vendor, numbers sold this way were limited so I might have benefited while a more dedicated collector missed out. So I feel a bit bad. I did really really want to get this though.

I wish I was more of a hard hearted bastard.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

now LOOK, as awesome as that is, it's friggin 96 kbps.
all i hear is potential when i listen to it streamed.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

I confess I confess!
I found these trax (tokyo) in a higher bit rate and they sound
oh so much better than the streamed version. I hesitated before
releasing them from their bonds but wow oh wow. Now to score the
ebay version...<sigh> crank!

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Yeah, this isn't really a valid argument for those of us that value recording quality on a rabid level. But it looks like a new round of discs will be made available soon, so maybe us audiophile fans will soon have our wishes granted. In the meantime, I'll keep exploring my alternative meanse of getting a copy just in case.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

EXACTLY!

you can't be like - well, you got a copy if you listen to the streamed version. that's like saying... well - you heard it on the radio, it's like buying the album

simply does not compute

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Obviously the encoder wasn't the greatest. I wasn't even able to turn up the volume to an adequate level!

They did a better thing with the Lemonworld Broadcast in December... It was also at 96kbps but had (IMO) a surprisingly good sound quality.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

say say say what?

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

okay, i was just making the point. while i accept that 96kbps isnt enough, i didnt want anyone bidding for the over priced ones being offered by opportunistic resellers.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

yeah, i'm interested. ebay does seem a bit of an odd way to go about it, but whatever

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Yeah....take a look at the "How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?" thread.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

Thanks for the heads up on that Sean. I'm really not quite sure how I missed that yesterday...

odd forums. maybe my settings are flukey.

cranK!

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
 

ok, mine arrived today..

wow, what a great set..
good job, and thanks to underworld for
making this available..
