Re: ebay tokyo cd's to be listed tomorow..
 

oh i know. trust me, ive thanked yannick for MANY things on MANY MANY occassions :P

im just trying to think of the best way to do this. putting them on ebay does the following:

1) allows people to buy mult. copies.
2) limits it to a certain time
3) opens it up to random non-dirts getting these discs.

its not like they were gonna be listed for weeks so that enterprising resellers would see them and decide otherwise. basically, 100+ people said they wanted discs. why not just sell them directly to the 100+ people and cut this nonsense out?

i dont even mind it being at 4 am. i can stay up until 4 am. it's just that, well, i was a guest that day and it wouldnt have been right to rumble downstairs and wake 4 other peole up (including my girlfriend) just so i can nab something (that admittedly i want very badly) that i can *plan* to get on the next batch.

though i suspect i'll have to be quick. if 12 are sold in the first minute, now that word'll get around to a second auction that number could likely spike.

put on your (bid) war face :mad:

so when's the next round? eh?

haha, i woke up this morning at 6, checked the site, saw that they were all gone, mentioned it, and the gf said "that's because CRAZY people probably set their alarms"
"i would have set the alarm"
"you don't get enough sleep as it is"
"SO?"
"augh.."

Phew, thank god theres more next week. Had to do other things today which had more importance then getting a CD!

Sounds like a conversation I'd have with my wife. Sleep.. Ha! Who needs it when you can spend your waking hours listening to UW ;)

Hope you get one the next time around - I may even be willing to help you out if there's a chance you won't be available - One UW fan to another.

Cheers,

Re: ebay tokyo cd's to be listed tomorow..
 

Got one, too!
It was kind of funny... Because today i went with my parents on holiday to my grandparents 400 km away. The problem was that they do not have any internet.:o Then i tried to convince my parents to not leave today, or to leave later, because i needed that CD set... :D (how rudiculous... i know)

Finally we arrived at 13:10 (after some nasty traffic jams), i jumped out of the car, ran with my father's laptop to their telephone trying to set up an ancient analog modem internet connection.:p That took me nearly 10 minutes, when i saw there were only 15 left, and i got one!

I hate analog modem, it's soooo slowwww!:rolleyes:

Thanks to Yannick and all involved!

I must correct myself - I bought the 14th one remaining, so I was actually #36... :confused:

Wow... I guess I really WAS lucky... seriously... I've been without Internet access for a couple days, had NO idea this was happening - but had to be in at for for 6:00 this morning (they went on sale at 7:00 my time) - and just happened to check the dirty site to see if there'd been any new info on the Tokyo discs... lo and behold, there is - and they're on sale in like 2 minutes... lucky day for me (after surveying this thread for weeks)...

Sorry to those that missed out - and I agree, a later start time might give THIS side of the pond a running start for the next batch...

well, you might want to make sure
you get in an email, or the invoice
shows it...

but for the last round, the
shipping price to the US was
UKP 2.50

so the total was : UKP 17.50

later

I missed out. Someone will pay dearly for this oversight.

:mad:

Re: ebay tokyo cd's to be listed tomorow..
 

i wonder why they are keeping the releases small. i don't know why they dont' put another 200 out there or something, and just sell them for a while. the more they sell, the more money they make...

i hope this is a sign of things to cme at their concerts though, being able to get the deck recording on cd after, or best case off of underworldlive.com
