How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

We are trying to find out how many copies should be listed on ebay for the next batch, trying to put it in the hand of most dirties as possible.
They will be at the same price, available worldwide. Will drop you a note here once they go on sale.

:p
[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]i'm one of the lucky few who already got 1, but this is totally cool![/COLOR]

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

I got one of the original 10 but this is an excellent idea. Worldwide postage. Biz/BrotherLovesDub's copy seems to have been lost by UK post becuase of this UK only policy :(

(if it's only a handful, why not just pm us?!)

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

I'm in for one.

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

yes. yes I do want one - but

...was it available to only those in the UK? seriously?!?

then I won't be able to buy one... hopefully someone could hook me up? and I'd have to figure out what the f*ck happened with my paypal account...



...and what 12" are you talking about yannick?

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

I'd definitely love one, but I don't like my chances of being online and actively checking dirty/ebay for the ten minutes that the auction would last for. :(

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

I didn't get one either...
Regarding shipping to other countries, i thought they'd simply add a few pounds to the price? Where there any other problems with shipping to other countries (like Germany;))?

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

hell yeah i want one.

why ebay? why ebay when they have a site set up to sell books and shirt etc?

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

because there'd be hundreds of people lurking the place to find out when and where and snatch them all up for ebay reselling.

i dont see how this can be fairly distributed outside of private messaging, which is isnt terribly reasonable to expect.

sooo...

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

I guess.... or - well. they could just send out an email to memebers and like give a code to access a section of the UW live page.

Sure - you'd still have to 'compete' with every member... but at least - it'd ONLY be dirties that would be able to get the discs - as they'd get the forwarded/blanket email

and that would be easy

- and this was done before - sort of when Bowie played his shows at the Roseland Ballroom. Everyone that was a member of his webpage got a chance at two tickets, and it was first come / first serve, but only members

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

would this only be ebay uk? imuh bit confused here.

why can't we sell them on Dirty.org to the people that want them? why do we have to go through Ebay? why bother asking how many to list when you can just hit us up directly here?

why the round-about method of distribution?

:/

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

If I might make a suggestion... Put them up on eBay with a pretty vague description (or at least a pretty vague title) and then post here with exact details on the title/description so that people here definitely have a shot at them.

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

It could be that eBay is the only route that comfortably fits with the way that they were originally offered (to the concertgoers)?

It doesn't matter how they get out, really, as long as they end up in the hands of the hardcore dirty.org UW fans who've been longing for them. :)

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

i think the problems lies in the fact that once they go up on ebay for $15, unless you are actively checking dirty, you have a VERY low chance at getting one. Its only gonna take one person to realize they are available and buy 4 or 5 of them.

are we going through Ebay just for ease of payment handling?

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

If you read Yannick's original posting you would have seen the following statement:As far as payment is concerned, no details have been released so don't jump to conclusions. It may well be ebay.co.uk and paypal but it may not. It may just be private paypal payments. It may not. Until then, there is no point in speculating. Its your lucky day, be happy :)
They are £15 + postage.

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

Count me in too! I've been keeping my eyes open for this since I heard about it. I came *so* close to paying far too much for this set but I've been trying to be patient and wait for the rumored Ebay sale.

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

If you put up a title something like "Underworld Souvenir Copies" (or, even better, "Dirty.Org Concert Souvenirs") with a description along the lines of:

An original audio memento from the first Nipponese festival performance in 2005 of the artists responsible for the Riverrun Project, recorded on three digital compact discs.

then it's likely that your average eBay user (and, more importantly, your average eBay profiteer) won't catch on until after they've all been purchased by Dirty.Org users.


I'd just rather not see it held up because there isn't a ready alternative to selling them through eBay. Adding more e-commerce choices to a web site is much easier said than done.

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

I did read Yannicks original post, which is why i asked my question. Sooo it appears that we are using ebay. it also appears that the goal is to get them in the hands of Dirts. Sooo why in the hell would we use ebay when we could just do a dirt-direct sale? why add the middleman in? it seems to me that a lot of people would like to purchase these cds yet are not so thrilled about sitting by dirty.org refreshing just to get an advance notice of when they are released on ebay.

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

nah man. if they are using ebay, then they could use Paypal, no? i guess i was also thinking about the ecommerce they had set up for the books and tshirts - kinda forgot that its no longer there (is it?)

and just to clarify, i was only asking why we were using ebay. if its the only means to sell these discs, then its all good. although, thats what Paypal is there for if we wanted to do direct sales. just seems kinda silly that we have to await a post about discs goin for sale and then hop over and get em! silly, but also kinda speak-easy-ish. but id take direct over speakeasy :P

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

I'm also a lucky one who could manage to get the cd's via eBay (the 15£ ones...), but I think the idea of this poll is really nice & showing again (if this was needed...) how cool & careful are R&K for their fans.

Everybody should be happy & thankful for them (and for everybody official/unofficial here & there...).

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

I really, really want this set as I got to hear it only once when it being broadcast on Dirty.radio. The set is just plain awesome! How will we know when to scan eBay? Would hate to miss out on Round 2.

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

12" What?!?!

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

Couldn't have said it better myself. I was lucky in a right place/right time way too. The fact that they are releasing them at ALL in this way is too awesome for words, never mind that they are now polling to see how many more are needed out there.

Fantastic! :D

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

we want those in your hand + also avoid anyone buying them at overpriced price on ebay..

so they are selling them to you over there for that reason.

goodluck

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

haha. says the gurl that already has one :P

to be honest, the fact that i have high-quality rips of these CDs allows me to be more calm about this than my usual manic, collecting self. if i didnt have these rips, id be foaming at the mouth and refreshing ebay like an idiot just hoping to get em. i think what im kinda bummed about with all the new processes is that they are just one-step-less-than annoying. if one more step gets added in, im gonna have to say, 'awfukkit. ill just keep the mp3s'. i'd love to pay for the real deal. already to hear this live show, ive had to:

1) beg to hear it via DirtyRadio only to be shut out of the stream
2) beg to get a link to an ftp site that had the rips (all the while called ungrateful, whiny, greedy and the likes by people that either already had it, or knew they were getting it.)
3) check ebay repeatedly only to see skyrocketing prices
4) check ebay repeatedly only to find nothing
5) signup to be on a list that will be notified when they can then spam-refresh ebay in the hopes that there will be another copy left
6) most likely beg someone to buy two copies so that i can Paypal the other off them.**

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

i guess we cant do both?

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

i'd "bid" for one, too. but as i still have no paypal, i'd have to tell a call a friend, which means there's a delay and ... :(
i'd like to see the "obscure title" method implemented, that would make my chances bigger :)


yes you did ask. four times or so. in one thread... if there's no answer (well, yannick's told us some bits), just try to give it a rest.

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

Damn.

I really would like an Mmm...Skyscraper 12" though. ;)

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

12" 12" 12" 12"

i have the CD - give me old skool viny!!!!

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

yea - what's up with this mention of a 12"?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!


and I'm sorry - but I dont understand what selling them on ebay does? I don't see how that'd stop people from paying rediculous prices on ebay...

I mean - you'd have to either:
A) keep at least one copy continuously on sale for a significant period of time
B) make some (basically) permanent comment about them on (probably both) the dirty homepage and uwlive

but - you'd probably end up having to do both A&B... especially as that wouldn't stop someone from selling it for $100 in like - a year... and you know what - the seller could just say this:
"was only available at the concert or on VERY limited release via UW on ebay..."

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

cheers to Yannick and R&K, pure class!

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

Pardon the french:
How the HELL did I miss this post???? Not that it matters as I'm here now. yes, I would like one!
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!
Crank!

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

couldn't they set it up so that it works via underworldlive.com too so then the dirts that want one can maybe get one there, also on ebay to keep the prices there down too... i dunno though, i guess we are all guessing how they are wanitng to sell them....

is there only supposed to be a limited amount made?

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

yes i do want one. come on, what knucklehead without one doesn't?

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

I'd deffos like one, now im going to have refresh ebay every 10 minutes;)

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

i might let you look at mine one day ;)

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
 

i would also love to buy a copy...

if possible a pm would be preferable over a post on this thread... it gets kinda busy at work and i don't always have time to surf then.

many thanks for the general vibe!

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?

Re: How many wants the UW Live in Tokyo 2005 CD's?
