again, the price is only ridiculous if you dont want to pay it. to someone that makes say, $200k a year, the price is a 'who cares' point. ebay is a pretty good guide as to what things are actually worth to people. if it doesnt sell, he'll relist it at a slightly cheaper price until it does sell.

and he is doing nothing wrong really. just reselling a collectors item. like i said, if he was taking mp3s and buring them to disc and then reselling, then we could report him.

There is another one and funnily enough, the pictures and text are exactly the same as the ones that came from seller m-2 in Japan (who is no longer an ebay member BTW), but this one is from a seller called sensense and also has the private bid thing on like m-2 did. Still, its not worth $165 but I wonder where this guy is getting his CDs. This must be the 10th to go on sale at least.

Umm, I pretty sure it's TheBang's macro from the very first round. Not the seller. Did you email him requesting the notification when they were for sale on Ebay? I got the same email this morning. Just figured it was him.

Got my copy today. Very happy!

In general, free market economics sucks. People will (on the whole) screw you any way they can for a valuable commodity and claim it's 'market value'. Take sports/celebrity salaries - why are they 'worth' more than your local dustman? It's just what society deems more 'valuable'.

Bring back communism I say.

I printed out the history of the purchase of the 2nd ebay yannick round - someone called interstate got 2 copies in one go, "ballaran" nabbed 2 copies separately, and "duderjw" nabbed 3 copies separately. Maybe one of these is selling on ebay @ $165?

Hmmm. Danielle at Lemonworld was handling the processing of these, and I would be very surprised indeed if they were sending out multiple copies to people when it was clearly a term of sale that it was one-per-person. But who knows? I'm only speculating, same as you.

Yup, that was my script that e-mailed you guys this morning. Please don't send me nasty e-mails.

The reason why there's nothing at the link is because there was only one copy listed, and it sold within 5 minutes!

No nasty emails here

Thanks BTW, for adding me back then, in case I hadn't mentioned it.

thanks to those who organized the e-bay sales, i'm a very happy bunny.
