It is pretty rare. I collected all the live '93 bootlegs and this one was my last missing item. It took 2 years to get my copy. good luck

What are you looking for? Is it in the $50 to $150 range?

Thanks

How the hell did this recent bootleg sell for $778.89??!! Other copies are selling for around $39.00. Sham bidding??

Could this be a fake??

I'm suspicious. It was a one day sale on eBay and 33 bids. I bet it is a sham with someone getting friends to bid up trying to get more money. He can just cancel the sale if a friend wins it. Although he will have to pay eBay's cut which is way too high, IMHO.

He can then offer it to the underbidder who is the "real" bidder. VERY prevalent...

I agree but he can only offer "second chance" to the second highest bidder since bidder names are hidden. In the old days when you could see bidders names, you could watch a sale and if you owned an item that sold for a good amount, you could contact the losing bidder and offer your item off eBay. It was tricky and you could get tossed from eBay if they caught you but many times I saw an item I had sell very high and I'd contact the loser direct. I got good prices many times till of course, eBay fucked that up. greedy eBay

Well, I tried to buy one from this French seller on eBay this a.m. and got outbid and it sold for $107.42 USD. That album has been on sale for about $40 for over 6 weeks but never sold. Now one copy sells for over $700 and this one for $107. It just doesn't make sense. There were not any others on eBay so I went to vinylonly.biz and bought a copy for under $40 including shipping to USA. It's the only Velvets vinyl bootleg I don't have so my completist ass had to buy it. I thought since it hadn't sold in 6 weeks the price might go down, not up?? go figure.
