VELVET UNDERGROUND Music Factory 2LP on eBay ENDS SOON

[ampnoise]

Cross-posted from Rare, Rarest and Most Expensive VU items... this auction ends soon, tomorrow at Jun-25-09 15:27:42 PDT and the current bid is still very reasonable. Please place your bid if interested, and good luck!

Anyone out there having "The Music Factory" and posting pics of this elusive item??

Yes, I bought a copy of The Music Factory many years ago from a radio station that was unloading all of its vinyl, and I've just put my copy up on eBay:

eBay item # 170345071018 THE VELVET UNDERGROUND Music Factory interview 2LP 1968

It's a no-reserve auction starting at $0.01, so please place your bids and good luck!

Here are scans of all four labels and both cue-sheets:

I would like to bet that this item goes over $1000 today. These super rare items sometimes have a last hours bidding war. Good luck. FYI, I spoke to someone yesterday who had a very rare poster and it sold privately to an anonymous buyer for $10,000 usd! I don't think I am allowed to say more, but trust that the VU collectors are out there willing to part with huge amounts of cash to outbid each other!

I can almost see the collectors and "rekusukun" all hunched over their keyboards, watching their clocks, tuning up their "snipe programs" and getting ready to snatch up this rarity! God I wish I would win the lottery! So much money pissed away on drugs back in the day! aaaarrrggghhhh!!
I really miss the old days of eBay when you could see the eBay name of all the bidders; it could tip you off on your bidding. For instance, if I was bidding on a rare VU item, and say, "dixigas" was a bidder, I might as well go home now because he almost always beat me. There is no way to know who the hell "bidder #2" is and how determined a collector he is? That was also a neat way for you to contact a winning bidder and try to talk him into selling the item you lost to you at a profit! That is actually how I got the missing "History of Syracuse Music, Vol X-XI" that I was outbid on. It was also a neat way to see an item sell very high, have a copy to sell, and contact the losing bidders with an offer to buy from you; outside of eBay too, avoiding those fees! I guess that's why they changed it; Goddamn eBay!

Who knows! Private sale; we don't even know the winner on this auction unless it's somebody on the forum who fesses-up.

Well, wasn't me -- that kind of money is outside of my league and a bit silly in my book at any rate, to be honest Still, if it's one of the forum regulars who bagged it, good catch!

GODDAMN , GODDAMN DIXIGAS didn't win it either!! But I tried really hard!!!
