He is not the only seller to have sold this one. This one was on ebay a few weeks back

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1

but at the same time this was listed

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1

Strainge thing is, they both use the same photo. but the photo itself is from another seller...

Perhaps the seller (muaddib18) brought one copy and then started making copies.

I agree.

I have given up on these. CDR's are a minefield and they seem to be rediculously expensive.

Or the same seller has different IDs.

I only buy CDR's from my trusted source, and he hasn't even seen this 1 before but that doesn't mean it's fake.

No, I don't know Jens would make copies, but maybe he was the one, who bought it in the first auction and selled it in the second.... dunno about the reasons!

Very true and if you buy a fake even more so....
They make a little go along way.. very Minimal but Fundamental.

CDRs are a mug's game.
Oh god its another night
And your head is feeling
Like a lump of lead
You should never have drunk
Those party-fours
You should have been home being good instead

Ever been in a deja vue
and the end is the same again
You ran out of your silver thins
And you're trying to be so high class
Though you need a bath and your hair's looking like string
And though you're nearly broke you end up paying for all the drinks
And you tell them 'Oh its nothing
There's a million where those come from'
And then you whisper to your longest-suffering friend
'Please lend me a few quid'

Oh god it's another day
And your stomach's feeling
Like a blown-up balloon
You should never have eaten that greasy food
The doctor told you that chile was bad for your blood

And you're standing at the chemist in Boots
Coughing up your guts like you're at deaths door
All this for a packet of Do-Do's
And the assistant gives you a wink and you turn bright red
It's at time like this that you wish you were dead
And you take the whole packet and you feel like you've drunk
A bottle of bleach
And you tell yourself 'Never, never again
Well, not until next week anyway'
And you were never one for holding drink
And you stagger off to the toilet
And you throw up like it was Christmas
And you miss the bowl and you hit your shoes
And there's no paper towels
Now what else can go wrong for you
It's a choice between a cab fare home
And a packet of cigarettes
So you choose and the money sticks
In the machine and the manager says
'Tough shit - drink up and leave'

Oh god it's another disease
And you just got rid of the last
You were beginning to feel OK
And the friends you gave it to
Were speaking to you again.

And you find yourself having sex
In the back of a car
And the girl underneath
Doesn't care who you are
And you're nearly there
And she still doesn't care
And her chewing gum
Is getting stuck in your hair
And there's something wrong
Something that you forgot
Oh Shit, you've forgotten the rubber
And you don't want a kid
Well, deny it was you
If your dad finds out
Then he'll make you stay in
And do your homework
And cut your hair
And wear your school uniform
Out in the street
Oh what a fate worse than death
Oh well he can't hit you
You can hit him back
And play your records so loud
All the ones that he especially hates
Deep Purple in Rock, Led Zeppelin II
Well even you hate those
Well on second thoughts
I think I'll leave home
And go and live in America
Because they earn more money there
And they can get away with murder - Yeah!

Oh this is a Mugs game
I can't wait until I'm twenty one
And I can tell them all to sod off.

Whats strange about this auction..

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1

Is if you look at the bidders...

http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... 4879417568

The top two bidders have Zero feedback and that the bidder "psboy212" had only registered in May 2006 , has already made 3 retracted bids ALL of them on "fc.till.i.die"'s auctions, and has bid on quite a few of the sellers items even winning one but neither the seller or the buyer left feedback for each other.

Back to the item in question, pay particular attention to the amount and the time of bids.

The winner placed a bid of £76 at 14-May-06 21:22:58 BST

This runner up "psboy212" placed a bid of £78 at 15-May-06 18:51:07 BST and was obviously high bidder but retracted it at 15-May-06 19:16:25 BST, some 25 minutes later stating "Wrong Amount Entered"

If the bidder knew he had entered the wrong amount, why wait?

Then, the bidder placed 4 bids...

£75.99 15-May-06 19:18:31 BST
£66.00 15-May-06 19:18:15 BST
£60.00 15-May-06 19:17:55 BST
£58.00 15-May-06 19:17:44 BST

Was this to push the price up, knowing that the previous bidder must have bid up to £77 as the bid of £78 was winning for a while.

The £75.99 bid sort of gives it away. All the other bids were in exact pounds and then this one of £75.99 sticks out like a sore thumb.

Somethings not quite right here and I for one will not be bidding on any "fc.till.i.die " auctions.

The same scenario applies to this auction...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 4887821283

Here's the bidders list...

http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... 4887821283

and whats that down the bottom, surely not a bid retraction!!!

So mauddib is buying to sell on for more? Best wishes, I just hope he knows this game is a gamble. I would love to say this CDR is authentic.

:shock: :roll:

He could at least try to hide the fact he's printing them up ......

Check out the ace_computertech auction he won recently ( about the 12th down) .......

http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI ... 4879417568

I bet he's doing a roring trade in DVD promos too ....

:lol:
