Isn't that what Ebay is about? To charge more than the actual value. There is always a buyer out there somewhere ready to be duped...

I went on here, regrettably now ..to show some items for people to look at ...got labelled a cheat, a con artist and had my name criticised by some jerks that call themselves Koen and Rockman ...I must say I didn't expect all of that.
I hate pretentious and sarcastic people ...and this site is full of them! I have learnt my lesson well and truly...its a shame hey all I wanted was some advice, criticism if need be but done politely and to show what things I have.

You wanted totally absurd rip-off prices at the beginning.

Why rip-off? Nobody is forced to buy, I guess people are mature and responsible here.
I find it terrible that this propensity of some people to feel obliged to give their "opinion" on objects for sale on this site (without anybody ever asks them!)

I agree!
As for the comments; after being a member here for 12 years, I finally realized last year that it is better not to reply on such comments (even if they are not meant the way someone thinks, which more often occurs when English is not your native language).
As you can see, it only leads to more discussion.

Why should we not criticize if somebody wants 60 $ or something for a very common 1CD release?

I know what I am writing, although I'm German. Why should we not criticize if somebody wants 60 $ or something for a very common 1CD release? This here is no forum for overpriced offers I think.

Everything has it's price - the market will dictate that- price too high you won't sell - price too low people will snap it off you

Right!
And as a side-note; the market (e-bay) is not interested in bootlegs at the moment; too many people preferring to download and burn their own CDrs or DVDrs...
(unless it's something they have been wanting for ages and can get at a VERY low price)
As far as I know, you can set a price, but also use the option "make an offer", don't know if that's really helpful, but it could give an indication IF someone is interested and what they are willing to pay.

Cheers Chris as I said , great advise from people on the board. Chris what's your take on Vinyl boots? a few years ago I was contemplating getting rid of them to any good home[I have around 200 - 300] Box sets - Test pressings -Std Vinyl Boots] all in storage, but now on doing some research and with the resurgence of vinyl, I find I am now looking at the average price for a Vinyl Boot around £30 ?. I am in no hurry to sell as I love these collectors item's but do feel I need to up my insurance on these. Again advise I would part to others with a vinyl collection. I am sure this may come full circle with people who collect CD silvers. Their day will come again once we get told how great CD is when all else fails.What goes around comes around. Save those Silvers!!

I know I'm not Chris, but I feel like (depending on the condition) $20-$30 for a standard one-disc vinyl boot with no extras (posters, stickers, etc.) sounds like the just-right price. Usually, that's the most I would contemplate paying for a boot (CD, DVD, or vinyl).
Thanks for the reply - When you take into account it's around £20 for a single standard vinyl album now - then yes £20 - £30 is a fair starting price for an out of press boot. If it goes to an ebay Auction then the selling price will sort it's self out. All depends on how much you want or value what's up for sale.
