RainingOnMe 7,252 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 There's nothing to explain though. I'm going to say it one more time just incase you didn't see it. Judas promo is VERY common and worth literally $20 and under. That sold for $500. That's insane. Y&I promo is extremely rare, only like 2 sell each year if they even come up, and worth a lot.

As long as you've got the money, who really cares? It's just startling to see somebody pay the price of a brand new MacBook for 3 CDs. Wish I could tbh.

TheQueen 18 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Do you think they really used bots? But another rare Poker Face promo sold for only $200 where as Cheek To Cheek thai sampler rose from $52 to $300 in 5 seconds. It's confusing but I think you may be right :( Edit: You are probably right... all of the auctions were private so we couldn't see how much feedback were on the bidders. I wish I could say I didnt :/ Report it to eBay, there's an option for it. I just feel bad for you because you can get better deals. If you want to spend it go for it. But if you wait you will be able to get them for less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they be able to see if bots were really hired to steam up the bids? Thank you so much I was just afraid I'd never see that Paparazzi Remix EP and Y&I promo again.

RainingOnMe 7,252 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Update: Got in contact with someone that offered me Y&I for $30, and cancelled the transaction with the ebay thai seller, and traded my Cheek To Cheek starbucks edition for Born This Way LGBTWCDP1.

Holland 7 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Can I make a suggestion that you may not like... Don't pay for those items and get a refund that seems like 'ghost' bidders have made the price skyrocket which is illegal and not fair to the real bidders! Yes, not saying it's true, but I've noticed in the past that auctions from the eBay user 'friendswithbenefit' had items gone way above their market value. So it wouldn't surprise me if that's the case, then again, I think eBay is really strict on that stuff, so surely they would notice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're all right, this person is a scam. So glad I cancelled my order now. Thank you all to everyone who helped me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holland 7 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Can you all stop dragging him? If he wants to spend 1k on promos then he will. its HIS MONEY. If i had that kind of money, i would do the exact same. When you become a true collector of ALL items, youll learn the rarity and value of some items. I guess collecting isnt for everybody. But if it isnt for you, let the people who do collect to do so freely. Somebody tried dragging me today about collecting so i told them the exact same thing as i just said. Congrats on the promos btw!! Sure, people can spend their money on whatever they want, that's their prerogative. But I've noticed in this thread and around (Gaga) collectors in general, that once they start collecting, they can go a little overboard. Heck, it even happened to me on some level, when I was in full collecting mode. I'm not trying to drag you, Astraeus (because the items you bought seem to be up for discussion). Because it makes sense you would want to get the items you are searching for, whenever you get the chance. But I'm only happy that because of this thread, you have come to realization, that you might have not made a good deal after all. Sure it means you'll have to wait a bit longer to get the items you want, but it means you can invest the money in other items and maybe even get the items you would originally buy in the future for a more reasonable price. That's what collecting for me is about anyway (though I'm not really active on it now). Patience is a virtue. Because it will happen that the item you'll want, will someday come along for a low price. It's way more fun collecting when you get a sweet deal, than always paying above market value in order to get your collection 'complete' in the fastest way possible. Not to mention, it will make your collection a better investment, because you're more likely to make a profit out of it, if you ever decide to sell it.

Thanks so much for the advice You're right. And I cancelled the order with the seller. That was disgusting that they used spam bots. No wonder why Judas "sold" for $400 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGermanotta 67 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 no thats a fake ! Thats a picture of a ebay memeber called norwegianlady back in 2010. She/He sold some copys of Words and Red And Blue. I think a real Words EP will never pop up since just a few were made and bought back by the lable.

We don't even have the real tracklist yet :( Gagapedia says it's the same as Red & Blue, but why would Gaga make 2 EP's with the same songs? I think Captivated and Electric Kiss are on the real Words, honestly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
