To marcg5546 from France: For shame! Didn't you read the "One purchase per person only please"? These are meant for the fans, not for speculative purposes.

Oh, I guess I shoulda figured it was a mistake, being that your user ID was a brand-new eBay member and all.

Unfortunately, once you've purchased something on eBay, there's no way for you, as the buyer, to retract that. You'll just have to contact the seller, and they'll have to cancel the duplicate, and then I guess it can be sold with the next batch.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
I won't be happy 'til I can buy it from Best Buy

btw, Best Buy used to be the best place to find the dirty epic/cowgirl single for cheap.

Re: ebay live discs £15!!!
OK, being a new Dirty member, I figure this is a way to contribute to the community (and share the Dirty love ).

This morning, I wrote a script to scrape the eBay pages every minute and e-mail me as soon as an Underworld listing appeared under that seller's (malfunctions5) items. It worked beautifully, and I was able to get my copy as soon as it appeared (look at my purchase time. 34 seconds after the start of the auction ).

Now that I have my copy, and my script has been tested, I'm willing to let other people benefit from my work. If you would like to be added to my script's e-mail list, send me a Private Message with the e-mail address you would like added. (Tip: Most cell phones can accept e-mail and deliver it as an SMS text message. If you have text messaging, call your cell provider and find out what the corresponding e-mail address is.)

Disclaimers
Please don't get pissed at me if it doesn't work. I'm doing this as a free service to you. If you absolutely can't miss the next listing of the Tokyo CD's, then I recommend you also use your own methods, and not rely entirely on my script. However, as long as the CD's are listed next time exactly as they have been in the auctions for the past week, I'm 99.9% confident that my script should recognize the listing and e-mail you within one minute of the auction posting.

Reasons why you wouldn't get notified: Auction listed with a different title, CD's sold under a different seller ID, your e-mail address is wrong, your e-mail server doesn't work or rejected/filtered my e-mail.

Also, I have to manually add your e-mail to the script. I don't check this forum every hour, so your e-mail may not get in the script before the next auction goes up.

Oh, BTW, this is where they show up:
