Holy cow! this must be Jimmy wife selling this on ebay!!!!!!
getting rid of the old worthless crap around the house.

my fear is that we might soon see a legit machina 2 on CD during the reunion tour... Corgan had talked about possibly selling his own CD at shows, rather then going threw a label

I doubt whoever gets this will do so to get a quality copy of it.

Oh, and :eek:

dean moriaty 08-03-2005 02:30 AM

if i get it i'll most probably rip it but would it be any better than the virgin rip?

So what? That doesn't take away from the fact that this is the fucking Machina 2 vinyl. There will still only be 24 other copies floating around in the world regardless.

ZephZero33 08-03-2005 02:51 AM

Even if the CD comes out during the reunion tours, whoever wins this will have the original vinyls ....thats not something you will get on the tour.

dsheinem 08-03-2005 03:32 AM

is there any way this could be fake? I'd like to know who is selling it and why they have it...

I don't think it would be impossible to bootleg this and make it look pretty genuine.

Esty 08-03-2005 03:44 AM

Yeah, its basically mine. No one even bother.

mourninglight 08-03-2005 03:49 AM

Fool, everyone knows you wait to throw down your money until the final 60 seconds. :D I guarantee you that it will only be in the hundreds when it gets down to five minutes left, but it will be in the thousands once it's five seconds left.

Shapan 08-03-2005 04:29 AM

wow thats insane.

way too rich for my blood. ill just go buy siamese dream vinyl at the amoeba for 10 bucks.

ChristHimself! 08-03-2005 04:32 AM

if i was rich :(

Reyngel 08-03-2005 04:39 AM

Someone should tell Billy to buy it back, just to piss everyone off.

celluloid_love 08-03-2005 04:52 AM

Just out of interest why did the bidding go like this:

notaraven ( 130) US $510.00 Aug-02-05 14:52:16 PDT


samderek ( 41) US $500.00 Aug-02-05 14:06:21 PDT


notaraven ( 130) US $500.00 Aug-02-05 14:52:07 PDT


notaraven ( 130) US $450.00 Aug-02-05 14:51:57 PDT


notaraven ( 130) US $350.00 Aug-02-05 14:51:49 PDT


notaraven ( 130) US $250.00 Aug-02-05 14:51:38 PDT


notaraven ( 130) US $200.00 Aug-02-05 14:51:24 PDT


megan54 ( 48) US $110.01 Aug-02-05 13:40:48 PDT


?

does that make notaraven a dummy bidder? Because as far as I can tell there is no reserve on this. Why would someone bid till it's up to $500 for no reason? Not to mention he is basically the only one that's bid on this so far.

to outbid samderek who bid before the lucky notaraven...

...cause we all know having the high bid with 6 days left assures notaraven of victory in the end!

You're not reading it correctly. samderek placed a bid, and set his max to be $500. not raven kept bidding to top samderek's bid, but was unsuccessfull many times because the max was so high. Finally, he topped it, because he bid $510.

celluloid_love 08-03-2005 04:59 AM

I should have mentioned the voting was from bottom to top, with the top being the highest bidder (notaraven is the current highest)

Looking at the bid times it seems that "notaraven" kept bidding until he/she became the #1 bidder. Whats weird is that you can see the bid amounts, thats normally secret till the end, or to the seller only (from what I remember).

Okay.

I really have no idea how eBay works, so thanks.

thebaconpress 08-03-2005 05:37 AM

Anyone other than me think it is a fake?

One crappy camera phone looking picture of the whole set and the others are "scanned"?

Combine that with the seller's feedback and auction history plus they have changed user IDs in the last 30 days and I think someone should e-mail them about how and when they got it (from billy or someone else) and some better pictures before you throw a grand at it.

BTW, if it is confirmed, I will see you in the last 20 seconds.

;)

bozo 08-03-2005 07:07 AM

they really have it, but will they send it, either way i'd drive to get it
 

The machine of god 08-03-2005 07:25 AM

Looks real to me. I have what I believe are the best quality existing scans of M2 from Gregory Sylvester and the scans on ebay are definently a different copy. Note that you can see where the stickers and tape have been put on as is consistent with various descriptions. As the scans I have are of Gregs copy that writes one off...leaving another 24 possible owners.

The New 08-03-2005 08:43 AM

So the guy is selling a bunch of cheap oil paintings,some back to school boys clothes,ear rings,some star wars dolls and an original M2 vinyl....:confused:

Now I definitely know it is real. Sounds like the make up of an old school Billy friend if you ask me. I have met some people searching out shows that make this seem VERY legit.

As much as I never wanted to see one of these for sale, it is pretty exciting. Just once again proves everything has it's price.
