Buying the singles
Let's see, I already had Somewhere Out There, I bought Somewhere Out There/Bring Back The Sun, Innocent, Clumsy, Mafia, the live four track ep, and the live an unreleased one. And I bought some Led Zeppelin stuff, all together it came to just over $100.
This is my story both humble and true,

Yup, sure did! George rules.
But, yeah, I just bought 7 more from Richard. My collection's slowly getting there. I just hop on Ebay every once in a while, if I happen to have some extra money. Gail, that's the SD single with "Let You Down" and "Starseed" on it, right? If so, I got that one from George. Thanks a ton for offering, though.

That's very true. I've done that with lots of things before, not just auctions. Sometimes it's just easier to buy a lot of things, then sell the ones you don't want... heck, sometimes you can wind up making more money than you paid.

Eep! I'm so sorry! I hate that about Ebay... whenever I'm bidding on OLP stuff, I'm always so worried I'm bidding against someone I know. A few times, I've recognized the names that outbid me, actually.
And, I collect both the singles and promos, too... course, most of OLP's "singles" are actually just radio promos, anyway... they really don't put out too many actual singles. $100 for 10, that's not bad at all! 
I'm paying about $80 for the 7 cds (and an 8x10) I'm getting from Richard. And my cds from George cost me $375. 
Man, I'm crazy. SoozyJ wrote:Did you win some of Rick's singles Nikki? Some of those went for silly money!
I'm horrible with names, but I'm assuming Rick = Richard?
So, yeah, I did. I only payed silly money for one, really, though. The "Library Sampler" (http://www.ourladypeace.cc/cds/CD-PromoLibrarySampler.jpg) wound up costing me £18.96. Everything else was pretty reasonable. And, he's sweet enough that he's combining the shipping for all my stuff, so it's not too bad. <table><tr><td>~ Nikki Edwards

Yeah that'll be him. He prefers to be called Richard or Rich these days - but most people that have met him through OLP still call him Rick and we can't get used to calling him anything else - I think I might be in trouble for introducing him to various members of OLP as Rick
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Hey Nikki,
that is cool you got that from Rich. Yeah we still call him Rick cause that is how we knew him as when he was on the boards. About 19 GBP-that is about $40.00 USA. That is why I try to stay away from English auctions. I got my RARE U2 single like that and it cost me a bunch, but it is super rare. Not many were released and it is only available on single and not on any D-so it was worth it to me. The most I paid for OLP was $40.00 for 2 CD set. i figure not too bad since CD's cost about $20.00.
George is cool. He is living in Australia now for the next year. I email him. ALthough I haven't spoken to him in about 2 months.
BTW. I went through my OLP stuff last night. I have 70 CD's. DAMN you don't realize it. I have some things I don't even remember getting. I got a Happiness CD Sampler with Waited/Blister/Potatogirl on it. I for the life of me didn't even know there was one, but obviously I have it. haha. Haha that is toofunny for me.
Yeah that is the SD single I have.

I have three OLP singles.
Starseed, Naveed, and Somewhere Out There. I got Starseed and Naveed for $1 each, and SOT for $2. God bless my neighborhood record store. They love me or something. Heh.
Gail, if you wouldn't mind telling me what single it is in a PM, that would be badass. I don't go on ebay anymore, and I am not in my OLP collection phase right now, so if you wouldn't mind telling me what single it is, that would be cool. If you prefer to not tell me, that's fine too, I wouldn't get all huffy about it. I just thought it would be really cool to find out which singles you have.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Yay, so I've been calling him what he wants to be called!
And, haha, poor guy... I don't know why people try to change what people call them... it never works. psycho groupie wrote:Hey Nikki,

Yeah, I hate the whole pound conversion thing, too... but since I'm an Oasis fan, I'm quite used to it. So, I don't tend to stay away from that stuff.
I've paid some really crazy prices for some cds, so to me these auctions were a bargain. I figure, if I really want something, I'll buy it, regardless of cost. Money's not all that important to me... prolly cos I still live with my mommy and don't have to pay for anything living-wise. psycho groupie wrote:George is cool.

Yeah, he's a nice guy... I e-mailed him for a while, too... but I absolutely suck with replying to e-mail and kinda lost touch with him.
I'll have to dig into my e-mail and reply at some point.psycho groupie wrote:BTW. I went through my OLP stuff last night. I have 70 CD's. DAMN you don't realize it.

Hahah, if it makes you feel any better, I've got *counts* 75 Oasis cds.
That's more than I thought I had... you really *don't* realize it! Hmm, that makes me curious... *counts* 38 Silverchair cds... and 36 OLP cds (soon to be 43)... Wow. I don't think I have anything I don't remember buying, though. That's hilarious. <table><tr><td>~ Nikki Edwards

I remember that sampler cd, because I have it! I got that sucker for $1 at the local record store too, along with the sampler tape. Good times!I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging.

I got the sampler tape when I won the IAH cd single.
Damn NIkki, thank god you do still live at home. that is a lot of CD's. Do you actually listen to everything? I don't really listen to the OLP CD singles much, but the other stuff I do. I rather hear the live shows then studio cd. I only wish I had video of SM concert. A few years ago, this guy ws going to sell me a video from some live show they did in the south. Lost touch with him so I never got it. I have video of every other cd though-so it is cool to watch. hey WOODSTOCK is the only place you can see Blister done(thank god)

Nah, I don't really listen to the OLP singles, either... I do listen to the Oasis and Silverchair ones, though, cos they've got tons of b-sides that aren't on the albums (and, to tell you the truth, most of Oasis' b-sides are better than a lot of their album tracks... it's strange). I'm a collector, though, so I buy everything I can get my grubby little hands on.
Mmmm... thank god for Woodstock.
Blisterrrr...

that is scary. I have all of those. I don't have the second IAH(with SOL) and the Happiness promo but I have everything else. WHo knows maybe one day I will start selling off my CD's. Funny thing is I can remember when Rich(isn't that what he is calling himself now adays) won those CD's
I finally completed my OLP single collection. I just won the Thief CD single, which was the one I was missing.
I guess I can say I am a fan now

as per R/S's site. If I was to get every released CD Single I am missing about 10
I don't have really double versions exccpt SOT, LIFE and Innocent.. It isn't necessary for me to own every different version. I just wanted the Cd singles of tracks released.

I was suprised cause it went for about $50 last time. I got it for $13.00. That is cheap in my book-so I was glad. It is all a matter of timing. SOmetimes if you wait you can get the singles for cheap. I got InRepair fora bout $10.00 and it was going for about $50. also.
