Rolling thread where I list CDs on eBay and tell you about them

I sell various things on eBay, mostly CDs. I tend to price all my CDs within a buck or two of Amazon used prices (keeps it simple for me and, hopefully, fair for buyers). Occasionally I'll run an auction or two, but mostly stick to BuyItNow listings. Happy to combine shipping costs for multiple item purchases, especially for ILXors. Feel free to send me an ILXmail or post to this thread with any questions. Thanks!

u should get up a discogs account too

A misleading thread title imho.

flopson: I'll check it out! Always thought Discogs was more for rare stuff, but maybe I'm wrong.

Shasta: I'll update this once every week or two as I throw up new items. Not sure if that solves your problem but hey...

I want you to tell me about them.

I love a good story.

OH! hmmm, well then. choice picks-

Ash Castles on the Ghost Coast: great little psych/folk/drone/weird album from Heather Leigh Murray (Charalambides) and some other guy, forget his name. this was the only record they ever did. has handmade/hand-colored cover art. Wholly Other #2. pretty tough to find, i think, but maybe not in great demand? i liked it, though!

Bill Callahan: selling his latest, Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle. not bad, didn't really strike me like prime-era Smog did, it's much more thoughtfully composed and well-recorded, though, I'd say. you guys posting in anticipate APOCALYPSE, the new bill callahan record are gonna want to be hip to this record before you hear his new one. ;)

Devo: oh for fucks sake, Freedom of Choice is a FANTASTIC record. everyone needs this! only selling this one cuz i got the 2010 remaster.

Beth Gibbons: her record with Rustin Man (Talk Talk) is quite pretty, i never played it much compared to Portishead stuff, but hey. if you're a fan of Portishead, or of Barrow's side projects w/ Beak> and Anika, you'll want to hear this if you havent yet.

Robert Horton: cool little CD on the Digitalis label, pretty much a weird/out drone album with found sounds & such.

Kyuss: this CD is awesome. found a dollar-bin copy... turning it for a small profit, so that i can buy more Kyuss records, obviously. ROCK!

Manitoba: this is Caribou's first album, different name, before he really got great on everything else he did. a snapshot of where he came from. for fans only.

Merzbow: i have too many Merzbow records (they don't ALL sound the same, but yes, some of them do). here are some of them.

OutKast: bought a used copy of the clean/edited version by mistake. adios! (see also: Jay-Z)

Prinzhorn Dance School: this albums SUCKS, trust me. avoid. do not buy it. please don't. you will regret it.

Sade: can't recommend Love Deluxe enough. again, picked up a remastered copy, but i am nice & will let you have my original one. "No Ordinary Love" opens the CD, it is amazing, and you will be sold from that point onward.

Taken by Trees: this is a really pretty record. it didn't stick w/ me, not *quite* my style... but can easily see someone falling for this.

discogs should be more up your alley if you arent doing much bidding, i way prefer it to ebay but it might be worse from a seller's pov bc of the ease w/ which buyers can compare prices, like i usually search & rank ascending by price & imagine many others do so unless you are the only one in the region or the cheapest there's less likelihood of your stuff getting picked up. otoh usually when i buy something thru discogs i tend to get a bunch of stuff from the same person to ease intial shipping costs & it seems like u've got a lot of stuff

wish there was a way to cross-post ebay items to discogs... otherwise it means maintaining listings on two sites, taking stuff down on one site if it sells on the other, etc. :(

ebay buyitnow updates (LINK):

Bastard Wing: album on Free Porcupine Society. Christina (Charalambides) + Andrew (Gown).
Tom Carter/Scorces: split CD on Free Porcupine Society. one side-long track apiece.
