Allen Strange

2010-10-15 by gino wong

I am posting the Allen Strange (first trade paper ed , I think) book up on Ebay.us. Starting bid will be $10. I am sickened by high prices and greed. This is my way of drawing the line. I am now at war with greed.

It’ll go up on Sunday I think.

No offense Gino, but if you are sickened by greed you should just sell it for a fixed price on one of the many synth lists. It sounds a little hypocritical for you to say that you are sickened by greed yet you are going to sell an item on ebay with a starting price, with no mention of a BIN price. As you are probably aware, ebay is public enemy #1 on the synth lists as it relates to greed and the escalation of prices for actual musicians as because of collectors....

If you want to sell it to me, a person who will actually read the book and benefit from it, for $10. I'm your man.

Just sayin'

Great book. I bought mine on Ebay for 60 USD many years ago but now there are some places to download it if you don't need to own the original.

You are right.

The same thing occurred to me about 20 minutes later and I sold it on Friday for a $1 to young person.

Putting it up on Ebay is in fact hypocrtical. It could end up getting to the $450 ABE books price. hell a vendor might do it to keep the value of his stock up.

I sold it to a Curtis student for $1. He will be able to use it. I also gave him an Elka synth.

My point was not to a greedy bastard or frequent greedy bastards. Henceforth I will just shut up and do right as i see it.
