thx 4your answer Sam...u're breaking my chains...2things..
hope u in future u can talk with Vic or Nor about my feeling in this situation...especially about my contact with u....personally they are free to copy my message and send to your mailbox so can read about it directly...
second thing...i never talk in my thread if these items are fake or not...obviously i've a strong personal opinion but never say something about it...i never say to Amadeu:"your items are unofficial..."...i've asked to him more info...cause i think it's a normal request if seller asking a great load of money....but i never receveid his answer.....
as my contact on ebay has said:"Dave,i'm not here to say unofficial or official just ...be careful with your money and purchases"
about your discussion's point:
1-braz cd are hard to find??it's fu**in true!!!i have only avocado and yield
no,i have never seen this boot with this sticker...it's very nice...u know...i like very much country sticker on cd(Do u remember LO2L korea??..still looking for it..)..
boot with promo stamp???yesssssss...i've seen it..same seller and sold in the same day of my above braz promo stamp(no one has bidded on above!!)....i haven't bidded on this boot 'cause i'm not a boot collector.
but i think u know Mercadolibre better than me...and if u search on it...u can find a lot of southamerican cds,specially from braz...recently i was taking a look and i'll find all braz ten cd(i still need my first ten braz copy..people are wrong...my collection is very very small,believe me
)...a lot of copies are SEALED..same for VS.....
i have a discussion about it with neves71(i'm sure u know him) and he said that these sellers simply prefer sell their cds only in southamerica..
i think that we have some chance that in past we have Vsblu or Vital braz promo in mercadolibre for "human" price...
2-Shakira acetate??...she is colombian...obviously a lot stuff for south america, promo etc...
it's very simple find her stuff in these countries...cause southamerica is her..land...but i think i will be more specific in next points..
the most interesting thing is this seller feedback's page!!!!!WOW..it's impossible not notice it...
he sells always same items..all ACETATES...all Fakes...he choose 3-4 artists and start to sell few copies with fantastic prices..all acetates with super price...and he received negative feedback for this reason and he........NOT replies!!!!i must think he is happy about these feedback or more simply...........HE KNOWS that these cds are....
if u start this type of activities u DON'T MAKE AN ACETATE ONLY FOR MADONNA or U2 or PJ...but U TAKE 4-5 ARTISTS and GO.....Amadeu promo are all the same...i think IT WAS INSANE IF HE DOESN'T MAKE ACETATE FOR OTHER ARTIST...not so hard and impossible,trust me...there are things more,more difficult than make some acetates copies...but..again...i'll more clear in the next points
3-4 Amadeus 's answer is not a problem...it's normal...it's human...personally, he can made a bigpost in this site and writes:"megadave ia a professional liar and especially a professional di**head"...and u can be sure that i will not ask to Vic to remove the topic.....
as i said to Vic and Norm...problem in not fake or original...cause i cannot be sure....but his WHOLE ATTITUDE that sounds bad..
in one of last emails...i've said to Amadeu that i've noticed that last acetates on ebay have been closed with......no buyers...mmhhhh!!...
waiting for some weeks and return to me with gorge set...in the beginning he has one copy..after 2-3 days they become 2...til 5set!!!i said to him no,it's a fake...but: "wow it must be incredible rare!!!if u are sure...go on ebay...go, whole market is yours..tim007footy included...i'm sure u'll realize a super price..why a private form with me when u can have 10000potential buyers...are u sure about his originality??...world of pj collector is yours"!!!
5WEEKS ARE GONE...AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR GORGE ON EBAY!!!!!
but he continues still sell braz official promo on ebay (not acetate)..like i have shown to Paul....always naturally with super price with only buy it now and without best offer!!!!!!
and someone must explain me why for Jeremy and thin air he has gone directly on ebay!!!!
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT I CAN SEE BETWEEN AMADEU AND FIRST SELLER IS....Amadeu DOESN'T TAKE RISK....FIRST SELLER LIKES NEGATIVE FEEDBACK!!!!!!
oh,don't forget he sold Hard sun for $35...starting price was naturally $350!!!!WHYYYYYYYYYYY FROM $350 to $35?????????how can it's possible???????
i'm quite sure that if in future he'll have for example 3vitalogy promo(i know it's impossible)...he STARTED WITH $2000 AND PRICE STAY'LL $2000 for each copy...and i've very strong and big doubts that he can sell me for 200 or $20 like in the hard sun case......cause he knows his value!!!!!!!!!!!
5-SONGS PLAY PERFECTLY...WHY SPEND TIME,MONEY,MATERIAL, TO MAKE THESE CD?
this is definitively my prefered point of this discussion....this question can have only an answer:
made unofficial item to make money is an old story...today u have great technology,super pc, Nero burning,photoshop...cd with just a white paper sleeve....but in past it's not so easy...MORE DIFFICULT THAN PRINT A SHAKIRA ACETATE....u need Vinyls(obviously make a testpress with matrix to print fake)...u must create vinyl covers,lyrics sheet,label on vinyl....that request more time,money,energy,work, than a shakira acetate....
take a look at this...and attention of COUNTRY press:
http://www.metallipromo.com/images/kill/025.htmlWhy always Hector's site?...simple ,cause they are the greatest collector's community on www and Met have the largest discography(recently friends of this forum have send me a Warner video promo for Met last album,where the second thing said in this advertisment is "the band of largest discography after the beatles"...and the community family is very proud of this fact!)..
talk with these guy is always a pleasure...there's something to learn(as for soundgarden and aic community...with these last guys i've talked about acetate from southamerica...some of these guys know.......amadeur)..
but come back to this item:
http://www.metallipromo.com/images/kill/025.htmlthe guys from met-forum say that these braz guys are very fantastic...naturally they have created a testpress with his matrix...a cover..made a vinyl cover..lyrics insert....and they are so fantastic cause for label they have chosen Megaforce..i know it means nothing to u...but megaforce is first company of Met....most researched items are come from megaforce....
stop?nooo...cause these braz guys are really super...they are never tired and decide to include(with new material,money,time,work) an...........exclusive poster!!!!!!!!!!!!!
which is the goal in this situation???????goal is that Jari(the guy has bought this item) has paid $3500 for this vinyl...when his value,to use a traditonal phrase of a member of our forum....is just 2cents!!!!!!!!!!and believe me...it request more work than a shakira acetate...
an italian friend of met forum said days ago that...sometime they must buy 2copy of a vinyl to remove label and check number printed under it....he said "dave,in some case it's the only way to check if an item is official...we must spend money only to damage a vinyl!!!!!!!""
always a pleasure learn something..
so in the end...last word about Jeremy arg promo...
before i give my money...in that case...i decided to ask your help..and u Sam...start to investigate like a mad...it's so nice...
what does it mean?it's just a sign of respect of your experience,opinion...cause i need always to learned in this world....
jeremy..remained unsold!!!!
maybe in future we'll see that it's an official promo....
Ed can come to my door and "dave,it is an ultra mega,maxi,ultra, rare promo and u have lost it!!"
-"well,i have missed a lot of items in my collection....but in my community...i've found a lot friends"
sorry for this long post...thx to read it and for the patience to read it...
thx again to Vic and Nor to have suggested me to share this experience...brake these sort of chains..i don't think i 'll return to spoke on this seller or this types of these items...maybe it's better come back in my silence
i still don't like this whole situation,still continues give me bad feelings and vibrations..
Sorry....sorry....sorry again
