Purple stuff on Ebay

For the most part, have people been happy with things they've bought on Ebay (purple rain tour videos, "one of a kind" items, etc.)?

I would like to buy a Vanity CD but am well aware of bad copies and other junk out there . . . thanks.

Your best bet is to a) carefully read the seller's reviews and b) e-mail the seller to ask very specific questions about the item before you bid. An important question to ask: Is the item coming from a non-smoking home? (I bought an I Wish U Heaven CD single from eBay, and the item was as advertised, but it smelled like smoke and is fairly revolting.

If you think it's a pirate copy (like the various Vanity 6 and especially Apollonia 6 releases you see) - ask them.

If the seller is selling a genuine official WB release, they'll tell you so - if not, leave well alone.

Also - the best yardstick of quality on eBay is the feedback rating - it's sole purpose is for people to see how trustworthy sellers and buyers are - so remember to *always* leave feedback!
