Check out this ridiculous sale on e-bay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/...78933&rd=1

The guy actually thinks he has an original copy despite the "bonus" unreleased tracks!

He wants £10,0000 for it????

And look at the questions at the bottom... He even claims to have bought it for this amount back in 1996?

COMPLETELY MAD!!!

look at the Q&A

falloff

shopowner was reluctant to sell it giggle

either this guy is a complete idiot or

he's a complete fraud.


either way, someone should post on his

Q&A and slap some sense into him.


if someone pays that kind of money

for this, they deserve to be ripped

off I guess

Well I posted my question to the guy. But my guess is he chooses not to display it for others to see...

I did the same. He is trying it on... If he gets 10 grand for it then I am going to have to seriously consider a new career...

So let me get this straight.

This guy has a limited edition copy of "The Black Album" and he wants 10,000 pounds for it? I DON'T THINK SO!

If I am correct, 10,000 pounds equals to about $20,000 American dollars. I am sorry, but as much as I love Prince, I would not spend that much on an LP. Prince himself wouldn't want me to spend that kind of money on an LP that even he doesn't care too much about!

This is a complete and utter rip-off and I hope that no one gets that desperate to purchase this. It all goes to show that anyone can package some crap together and call it gold!

Everyone here is goofing on the seller just because his finger slipped on the keyboard and pressed a comma instead of a period. I make typos all the time! razz

I'm not sure what to make of it actually - I was the person that offered him £7,500 - I couldn't understand his answer, so I let it go, just wanted to see if he was serious or not. confused

The CD will be one of those boots with the Dream Factory/CB era tracks on it, that was my very first bootleg and it sure cost me a lot less than £10,000 evillol

yup, I saw that. biggrin

I figured, since he probably couldn't delete that question, he
just gave as neutral an answer as possible lol.

"hey, are you a lame fucker selling illegal boots as real goods?"

"thanx"
