We talk about the crime gangs in our City. But it could be worse.

Yep well that's what I get for being a tight arse I suppose. Bought 500m of 80lb fishing braid off ebay, wound about 300m on to my reel and then decided to do a pull test. I thought when it broke, that's nowhere near 80 pound. So I attached @40lb of weights to it, didn't even get off the ground. FFFFFFFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu or whatever Barrels does.

Talking of bad eBay purchases, have a listen to this doozy.

I bought off eBay what I thought was The Beatles in Mono - complete LP collection, which retails at over $500 if I'm not mistaken. Won it on auction for $50 but it was from Hong Kong, and I knew something was suss but I thought worst case scenario, I'll get 15 knock off Beatles records and as long as they play fine, $50 is still a pretty damn good deal.

Anyway, 2 weeks goes by and I finally get my order in the mail. It was a lot smaller than I was expecting, since it was supposed to be a big box of 12" records, but this looked more like it was going to be the CD version instead. I'm thinking ah jeez, I've been stitched up here and the blokes gonna give me a box of CD's instead of vinyl but I open it up to not find vinyl, nor CD - no, it was a cheap laser toner ink cartridge for a computer, probably worth $5 at most. I go back on eBay to complain and the guy has done a runner on me and deactivated his account. Took me nearly 2 months to get my money back.

Were all the Beatles records sold in mono?

I have a vinyl version of "Rubber Soul" which was recorded Mono, but released in Stereo. You could change the Left/Right balance and it came out like a Karaoke track because the lead vocals were all on one side.

No the mono versions are usually the earlier releases. A white album in original mono is like $700 compared to about $40 for a stereo version. Get on Discogs or popsych and check some values. Put the serial number in

Just had a bloody good EBay experience this week.
Picked up an early 70s German pressing of the Rolling Stones debut LP in great condition.
At $6:95 it was an absolute bloody steal.
I have see the same ones before and they usually have a starting bid around $30.
Dont think this bloke knew how much it was worth

Nice man, can't go wrong with the stones! If that's the one I'm thinking of they can go for up to $60 so that's a great bargain! My best eBay experience with records was picking up a really rare pressing of a King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (Aussie band) album for $100 - it was a crazy price to pay, but on the second hand market it generally sells for anywhere between $250-400. I then got it signed by the entire band and it's now one of my most prized possessions, worth god knows how much but I wouldn't ever sell it anyway

Yeah i collect Stones stuff. Like to pick up some of the obscure compilations they released in other countries.
Got this 1976 New Zealand pressing about 15yrs ago dirt cheap which was a good pick up.

Probably be hard to find one in really good condition nowdays.

If you're in Melbourne, have you ever been to Heartland Records in North Melbourne? Great little shop with some amazing releases, they're always stocked up with plenty of stones as well

Yeah mate on Victoria St.
I used to go there years ago when they had a shop in Peel st.
They have a real good range of Alternative and Rock LPs as well.

Yeah that's it, Strangewolrd Records and Off The Hip are awesome for alternative and rock LP's too, especially the more local homegrown stuff. Melbourne is very lucky with the music scene and all the independent record stores we have around

Poison City on Brunswick Street is fantastic for original and re release alternative and punk vinyls.
Their knowledge in regards to skate/pool boards is a bonus if anybody is into that.
