ok...can anyone explain why the blue room and brothers and sisters EP are being called "rare" on ebay and are on sale for £26 when I bought both those copies a couple of years ago for £6 ???

please explain.. :?

:shock: is anyone ansa ing my little quezzy ..

because people are trying to make money.

hm, i bought blue room for 25 euro at ebay...

well, dunno where to buy it else :shrug:

brothers and sisters i got this year for 7 euro at wom-store, so dunno if it's really "rare".

br was said to be rare, 'cause there were only few copys produced or sth..

okay, maybe it's because my town sucks but i can't find the blue room cd anywhere. not that i want it all that bad, it would be nice to own!

 

if you guys can find them easy you should put one up on ebay. obviously you'd make a pretty penny!

I know they are making money...but they are so freely available and not rare in HMV :D

i have no idea - ebay pisses me off - i think it should be eradicated :-x

well said!! it has a lot of illegality about it..

i thought only 50copies of the BLue Room was made? that's why it's so crazy important!?

I think that's the Safety E.P

lol.i'm a moron! okay right. i got confused!

oh god...I want the safety ep...that is so not in HMV and now I am having to go back to EBay :?

there are 500 safety eps and 5000 Blue Room... has anyone got The Safety EP

there's only 5,000 blue room? it must have been re-issued or something because i see it in stores all the time...

..5000 is a lot ... thats 5000 re-leased in the UK ...maybe they re released .....

...I bought this 3 years ago ...and it is unavailable where I bought it from now...for a mere £6 or so...it is now being sold in shops for £30 ...

yeah it was rereleased in 2001 I think

...think the original releases are collectors items...cos the sellers always quote the ID from the sleeve.... cant think why else there is such a price difference

I would love the safety Ep and Mince Spies...

Ep's usually are rare so.... they're for collectors. i only got ep's from portuguese bands , i'm a bad collector! and normaly ep's are not for sale but for promotion so they go to the press and to the labels guys

i have lots of ep's. :shrug:

 

none by coldplay though.

house-related finance problems mean i'm having to part with bunch of CDs, including a few "rare" (depends how you look at it -- see above) Coldplay items, including Blue Room EP, promo and normal singles, a still-sealed copy of the promo (card cover) version of Rush Of Blood, plus the interview disk that came out around the same time.

 

rather than go on EBay i'd rather sell to real fans, at what i think are real (or at least reasonable) prices, ideally in the UK (to save postage/cash exchange problems) but anywhere will do if we can work out the logistics.

 

drop me an email if you want to see a list: [email protected]

 

thanx...

good luck finding the Safety EP......I have been trying for 3 years!!!.........Nowhere to be found.....when I met Guy he said he didn't even know if he owned one himself!!!.....I am sure he does!!!....wouldn't ya think?.....

:D
