1st U.K. press (the ultimate - goes for about £50 - 500 depending on condition)

 

2nd Press - not bad, but don't pay more than £20.

 

Later press - £5 tops.

I would not buy you the DSOTM cause it's numeric.
No thanks!

I think I am getting a good deal. My ITCOTCK was listed as a 1969 pressing so, I am hoping is isn't doing me dirty. He's got good feedback and has been a member for quite a few years.

I use eBay a lot - with the same nickname I use here.

Sometimes you can get a really good deal, sometimes the seller leaves out bits of information you wish you'd known in advance - but you can't really penalise them for that, unfortunately.

One guy sent me a MONO first press of the Doors' first album, but negelcted to include in the auction the fact that the cover was badly torn, and had arranged the picture so the vinyl hid the tear. I complained and got my money back - but I'd rather have had a nice copy of that album.

A definite case of caveat emptor!

Yeah. Fortunately, I did know enough to look at feedbacks. Both of the sellers had 99s and have been on their since at least 2001. This is reassuring. Plus I looked at what they put for the conditions of the vinyl. I think it will be OK. I researched other sellers' products before choosing these sellers, however. Thanks a lot.

I have recently started up an account on eBay to sell some of my belongings and use the money to buy prog vinyl. My question is: is eBay a good place to buy vinyl? How do you make sure you are getting quality goods? I have done "Buy it Now" on Relayer and ITCOTCK, but have insured only one of them. Is there a good chance it will come to me broken or should it be safe? Any help, advice, or direction is appreciated. I am definitely a newbie in the eBay area.
