Lots of Prince items snapped up cheaply on ebay in the hours after his death. I'm guessing to be resold for a profit. but hopefully not...............

Hi. I just bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/p...SwQYZWu8J2 for 42.61

Hope it's legit. I've been looking for this c.d. for years and years but they always go for about $150 -$200 even before.

I'm sorry, but that is fake. The real CD has a fold out card sleeve, the one you bought does not.

Glad i held back.

Well that sucks...They are down to 3 left, so I guess I'm not the only idiot. Never had this before; will it be just a bootleg or crappy copy of the original?

They are trying to profit off of Prince fans like myself who have been hunting certain NPG only releases. I go on there and cry becuase they are charging $500 for a Madhouse cd. I my be greiving but I m not crazy.

In regards to the "One Nite Alone" CD, just file a report with paypal. You'll get your money back. If for some reason paypal doesn't back you -- dispute it with your bank.

.

Sorry that there are creeps like that.

This is fun.

.

They had them listed for $10k and $20k previously. lol

You aint a idiot, just a seller taking advantage of you and Prince's death.

No idea, but a crappy copy is still a bootleg.

I do not know if I could ever part with my stuff. I have CDs, I have bootleg CDS, I have video collections on VCR. Hell I even have The Holy River casette and it's still sealed. LOL.

I thought I was the only one to have a sealed Holy River casette. I have an opened one as well - I remember a chick working in Borders let me have 2 for free.

To people who are tempted with so called "Factory pressed" silver discs of NPGMC stuff. FFS don't be fooled. Stuff like The Chocolate Invasion, Slaughterhouse, C-Note and Xpectation have never been released on cd. So any cd claiming to be a "new press" or a "factory silver," is just some asshole in their basement churning them out like baby rabbits.

If you are unsure if something is legit, check http://www.princevault.co...=Main_Page or come to this site and ask a question, someone here will know. Same with rare stuff that was released on cd, check first, don't be tempted by a cheap price.

I'm just happy i own every single physical album he released. I heard everything is sold out or very expensive.

FYE has new copies of albums now. I saw Around the WOrld in a Day in there for 6 bucks and some change. However there was Hit n Run2 for $17.
