I just bought that myself this morning along with the GATS tape, paid $10 which isn't considering the prices people try to sell them for.

I have a This Is My Truth box set thingy with the album on CD and a polaroid picture, what's the deal with it? I heard it was pretty rare, but you never can be sure.

If I remember correctly it is a rarity. Each box set came with a different polaroid, which was taken by Nicky.

That's right! I'd heard that the photo was done by a band member, it just struck me as odd that that would be done for what seems to be a press/promo item

Why, though? I don't understand why people would bid on things and then not pay. As a seller (from time to time) it has really pissed me off on a couple of occasions.

Then why bid on it Dex?

I've sold CD's on ebay and with a number of bids on and then the winner makes up an excuse. So not only have I got to relist it and post it at another (possible inconvinent time). The other bidders that may have genuinely wanted it have lost out too...

If it was the other way round and you were the seller how would you feel?

What difference does that make? I asked how you would feel if someone messed you around for not paying for a won item...

Except Ebay actually does take a listing fee, so every time a seller has to list something, they're out that fee. And as previously noted, it prevents people who may actually want the item from having it...

yes it is. I will say the standard price should be something like 50 quid and more.
