Rare, Rarest and Most Expensive VU items

There is one at ebay quite cheap - $7- (at the moment)... 6 days left and 7 bidders

I got yesterday, by the way, a German Original from 1969 ... paid $72

Has anyone ever seen a Uk 3rd with the Lou Reed sideways split horizontally on the back? And if so how much?

One sold on ebay quite recently: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/THE-VELVET-UNDERG ... 613wt_1167. ?177!

Don't upset me!
From the same collection i bought originals of the UK VU & Nico stereo LP, UK White light LP & the UK Loaded LP.
When they turned up they were all absolutely MINT. Seriously incredible condition, even the sleeves.
I'm still soooo upset at not bidding for that 3rd LP. Doubt i'll ever see another in that condition.

Thanks. Well, I'll never own one. But last time a visited a friend ,who always told me that he bought the LPs when they came out in the UK , I asked to see his copies and my jaw dropped when I saw that he had this version. I've never seen even a photo of one before. Interesting that the guy seeling on eBay didn't know what it was.

I'm pissed myself. It is a glaring missing item from my collection and I passed it up a dozen times on the old VUAS set sales for about $30. Oh if I could only go back.

Wow, I missed the chance to buy this copy on eBay for cheap! It is Iggy's original Feedback book with flexi and English translation! I have had my copy for years but for $21.49 it would have been a great investment. I saw another set like this sell for over $100 recently and some poor soul keeps listing a copy for $199.00! Don't think he will ever get that much, but you never know. I am still shocked that it sold so cheap.

On Vintage T-Shirts also, Vu is great investment...

I dont understand why that T shirt is at $51, or why some other T shirts go for what seems to me very high prices. For this T shirt, the vendor isn't even saying how old it is - it doesn't look very old or "vintage" to me - the "Copyright VU" logo implies that it's quite recent.
So why so expensive? Couldn't I go to the T shirt shop down the road and ask them to make me one just like it?

Check out link above to see the VU/Nico 4 track that sold for $161.00 on eBay! I bid $21 and nobody bid against me till last hours. There were under 30 people even had looked at auction so I though I had a chance. I didn't even mention it on this forum till auction ended to help my chances. At about 1 minute to go I tried to increase my bid in a 1-step bid; boy was I lucky! I was anxious and read the bid wrong and upped my bid to $158 in error! I can't afford that much; thanks god I was outbid! It was a neat and rare item for sure but the tape didn't even play, and if it did, who has a 4 track??
