Mark 4,065 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I bought mine from Zen-Arcade, they always get Gaga promos first :) I remember they were selling 5 of the guy promos before the price went to $200+ in april yeah. i do believe that seller is real. hahaha. im talking about these sellers that the FB page listed: promorecordsltd luckylarryspromoshack as far as i know... Zen-Arcade stopped selling anything goes promo for a while now. less likely that the person who posted it here bought it from that seller. 00026 † 10000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my It Don't Mean A Thing promo from luckylarryspromoshack. I know that he sold fakes before, but this was one of the first ones to be on ebay and it had the sticker so I think it's real.

I know that he sold fakes before, but this was one of the first ones to be on ebay and it had the sticker so I think it's real. not really a good idea. if he sold fakes before, what would stop him to still continue to sell fakes? i think, the logical thing that happened was, he got a hold of a original copy of the promo? then he definitely replicated it. and if he did get an original copy, would you think he'd let go of it? of course not, he'll keep the copy to duplicate more. or, maybe he just got the c2c cover and print some sticker. he already mastered the art of replicating. he has the resources to see the exact items, such as collection sites. im not really demanding you to believe its fake, but for me, it is. its up to you at the end. 00026 † 10000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGermanotta 67 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 so, point 1. The Venus promo is real Promo given away by Universal Music Hong Kong. all promos from the sellers above are fakes! If you say they aren't - they are don't turn it into something positive ! I am workink together with Universal Music Germany, i am not allowed to say anything that happened in the past or in the future we are working on. The right persons here (i live you guys - they know that they are meant) know that. Some of the best collectors left the thread here because of people without knowledge of "special" releases are spreading wrong roumors. I am happy that many of you are contacting me before buying any promos to ask about them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original one had an upscaled cover. You can see that on my copy. The font from the newspaper isn't that long as on this from the link.

I am happy that many of you are contacting me before buying any promos to ask about them. I don't spread rumors. I bought the french items, and the contents were fake lossless. Something that a real promo doesn't have, that was enough evidence for me. I don't mean to shame you at all, but I just thought they were fake because of the files being fake lossless.
