hardcore records on ebay — aggregated and examined
HERE’S ONE FOR ALL YOU FIENDS… ahem.
Here’s my vote for “stupidest thing to pay money for on ebay this week”. A Misfits tape w/ hand-written sleeve (by Danzig!!!!) that has alternate mixes of a bunch of songs you’ve heard a crap load of alternate mixes of already. Ryan Richardson is selling this and he is a hustler - RESPECT. He is the man, because he is the kind of guy that gets to unearth this stuff, but I’m shaking my head at the fools bidding hundreds of American dollars on this thing. Also contains Horror Business outtakes. Great, just what we need. “Alright this is Moon Ghouls Of The Grave take 6 and a half”. Some doof is going to make a bootleg of this that I’m going to have to flip by in the M section for the next 10 years called like… “The Ghouliest Hits From The Grave Vol. 2″. Most likely the front will feature Bela Legosi fighting a werewolf driving a hotrod, for the rights to a Frankenstein babe surfing on a flying saucer in her bikini. The artwork will of course be very pixilated, and the sleeve of the flimsy European variety. The Misfts are the best shitty band of all time (as in they play shitty, and sound best), but their super-fans are just dorks.
I agree this is a pretty silly thing to spend real money on. My intent isn’t really to comment on this cassette though, I’d like to offer suggestion for the site. Let me start off by saying that I am really enjoying reading the posts here and it appeals to my collector nerdiness. I think the only thing that nay be missing from the formula is the actual results of these auctions. When reading the archived material it would be nice if the prices realized were included as well since they will only be available for viewing on ebay for a short amount of time. Maybe it would be as simple as having a box at the end of the post that says “Auction results” and have the word “pending” in it while the auction is still going and once it ends fill in the price. I know this would be a little more work to check back and fill in the results but I think it would be worth the effort to complete the picture of the items you are featuring. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.
Hey Joe - cool idea, but maybe a little outside the scope of the site. If there is ever a way to add this without a lot of effort than I think we would defintely do it.
