People sell other legitimately released Prince CDs in online auctions all the time - some go for a quarter, some, like "Peace," (a single) sell for as much as $100. No one but the buyer & their demand for the CD is guilty of raising the price that much. I have neither the time nor the interest in looking for "a fan with no money" to give it to. And had no one else bid on it, it would have sold for $15 to the first bidder. Blame them. Not me. | |

shygirl said: You're right, Rio. Are we really supposed to believe that someone who bitches about Prince as much as irishecho does, paid $100 for NPGMC membership?
And if IrishEcho DID pay $100 to join a club dedicated to a musician he/she can't stand, then who's really the sucker? It's one thing to log onto the org and bitch and bait. It don't cost nothing. But paying money to bitch would make IrishEcho a sucker and an idiot. How do you suppose I was able to review both the NYC show & soundcheck without being a member of the music club? How do you suppose I could provide a review of the ONA CD, or offer an opinion on it if I'm not a member & never heard it. And considering that there are at least 3 more CDs that I can sell & a sucker born every minute (& a high concentration of them are Prince fans), I think I'm looking at a tidy little profit off of Prince's crappy music. Then again, on the off chance he releases something good, I'll keep it. | |

Life's too short to waste on stuff you don't like (not counting job, school, etc.).
But if that's what gets you off, how sad and pathetic you really must be. Hmmm, I guess maybe you do have something in common with an overly obsessive Prince fan.  | |

I'm sad & pathetic & you're spending time commenting on me? Doesn't say a lot for you. Don't tell me how to spend my time & if you're not the fool who paid as much as he did for the CD, don't worry about it. It's none of your business anyway. | |

What exactly is your point in arguing about this anyway, other than some poorly focused animosity you must have toward me? If you weren't the fool who bought it from me, I don't see what concern it is of yours. | |

So how can used bookstores sell used CDs? Same goes for recordstores, even the big chain stores do it... Rasputin, Streetlight, etc I mean, like, where is the sun? | |
