given that irc was around for almost a couple decades before blogs became popular I kind of suspect that a lack of it wouldn't make him or anyone else post more on blogs

Ok, in all releases I can track down the Rose Royce track is listed as *Wishing on a Star* but I've been told artist intent and the publishing name is *Wishin' on a Star*
What should we put in MB?
_mo
artist intent?
Daedalus joined the channel
PRAEst76
I think if it was artist intent could they not get their record company to put that on the albums...
_mo
hmmmmmmmm

This is one of those occasions where if I put it up for vote I'd get 20 people voting "abstain"
I stopped buying DM singles about ten years ago when it became really apparent that they were releasing too much.
yeah, relatively speaking that's not a bad price for it. Probably still more than I'd pay. I always go for bargains.
eBay's at it's best when people enter things wrongly and the mjaority of fans don't see the auction.
and you get a copy of The Quad for 99p because soemone entered it as Depiche Mobe - The Quid
fuchs
yep, but it's hard to find those entries ;)
PRAEst76
There you have found the problem with my strategies
DJKC
mine's a bit easier to execute but more expensive: preorder everything from amazon
it's funny how your easily your brain can rationalize stuff with preorder discounts. "500$ box set? no way" "Oh wait, only 400$ with 20% preorder discount, now I have to get it"
PRAEst76
I kinda like the gambling aspect with ebay. I tend to bid low on many things. I don't often win but when I do I get a bargain
ojnkpjg
you shoot yourself in the foot if you bid at any time other than the last 30 seconds
PRAEst76
Nah, I just big my maximum to begin with. Can't be arsed with sniping. Especially if the auction is ending at 4am
ojnkpjg
so write a program do it for you
PRAEst76
I'm not a programmer :)
ojnkpjg
ok
there must be free programs out there that are moderately polished
DJKC
thought that was against the ToS and ebay tries to shut the ones that do it down
ojnkpjg
i've never read the ToS
you're probably right
SenRepus
its good to at least wait till near the end to bid, the later the bid war the less it will cost you
ojnkpjg
but i've never had problems
it'd be pretty hard for them to tell whether you're doing it yourself or whether it's a program acting on your behalf
unless you make it obvious
i can't imagine it's against the tos to bid at the last minute manually, but i don't feel like bothering to read the tos
PRAEst76
Nah, i think it's just if eBay have evidence that you are using suspect methods to do it. i doubt many people get in trouble over it, if any.
DJKC
I just remember there being sites years ago where you gave them your login, password, the auction #, and max bid and they'd snipe it for you at the end. ebay shut them down
although these days I'd hope people would be too paranoid to use them anyway
ojnkpjg
yeah, that doesn't sound smart at all
DJKC
it made sense in 1998
not so much now
fuchs
PRAEst76: thx for the voting, i hope i don't have to write too many notes during the voting process ;)
PRAEst76
I think there are only about three or four pressings of that disc overall. And it's weird how many DiscIds there are of it compaired to other less limited DM releases.
fuchs
probably because it is the result of a 5 -> 1 merge
PRAEst76
Ah.
fuchs
unfortunately the disc-id adding mods can't be easily accessed anymore :/
