Anyone with me on this?
I agree. The song sounds decent to me, but that's just a crazy amount of money. It will surface sooner or later.

At least someone like Rdkopper admits that he just wants it for completion purposes. That aspect I can understand.

$5 or $10 being pitched in by multiple fans is a fair deal, to me, especially if you want the FLAC files. But for one person to spend upwards of $1000 or more for a single radio-promo disc containing a song that we have never even heard the title of (and also have no official conformation that it's Jovi) is... well, it's interesting.

Yeah. I mean I get wanting to pay a few dollars for an unreleased song but anything past $10 or $15 bucks is just over the top.

Posting all this interest in a public forum does nothing but drive up the price.

The OP is also most likely the seller, so he's well aware of how much people are willing to spend on this and can manipulate the bidding.

Well done guys.

I can't say yet what I am expecting in trade for the disc, but the live trading community will be very happy and it will involve no need for any editing work before I can share them.

Sadly I won't be able to share Mona Lisa at all. To best of our knowledge this is the only copy outside of the by archives and the no copying verbiage in the auction is at the request of the other collector who wants to have his own little private piece of jovi.

If the jovitalk community wins that is awesome, just letting you know it probably won't go cheap.
So then why don't you work with us then against us? You really need to monopolize this song? What's the point? I could see if it was a printed copy of the finished Sex Sells album with album work but a promo cd with no art work? really?

If you spend 1,200 dollars on this song and it surfaces a few weeks later, I will be the first to laugh in your face because you just paid 1200.00 for a piece of plastic.

And who are you going to trade with? the e-bay seller? dude, it's listed and he is selling it. Why the f would he want to trade with you? What could you possibly have to offer that everyone doesn't have already?

I think instead, you need to spend that 1,200.00 on a good shrink because if anyone had 1,200.00 dollars to spend on anything, it wouldn't be a b-rated Bon Jovi demo.

We are still moving forward. Even if we lose, it will still give me satisfaction to know we were able to jack the price up on you... Good Luck Dude!

Dude! I said this 3 pages ago!!! We need to pick a person to lead this and communicate through e-mail!!!

I think Nige and this other loser might be working together. Nige, you seem like a nice guy but I'm not familiar with you and then you surface out of the blue. If other people can confirm that you're not, I apologize.

I would take the lead but I'm the most hated person on here. Who could we trust to do this? Lets appoint a person. PM them with our e-mail addresses and then go from there. Only users we know and trust should be included.

Dave has already posted he's willing to spend up to $1200. Game over. Move on.

And your assholish signature does nothing to help with the 'most hated person on here' problem that you have.

Turns out I have had long time member Nige here confused with another Nigel whom I Once bought a very nice Bon Jovi vinyl collection from.
If I didn't need this as trade bait I would have a very different stance.
Just trying to save a lot of legwork and anguish and maybe save myself a few dollars at the same time, there is at least one other group looking to collaborate as well, so I am probably into real money to acquire it

Dave and Nige have both been coming here long before you even knew this place existed. I don't see any reason why they would drive up the price, they have nothing to gain.

As to the first poster, yes, he probably is the seller. Which is why the $1200 seems a bit excessive. I wouldn't pay more than a $100 even if thought that was the last copy of the disk, which it won't be.

But, I'm still in for the $10 if we want to bid on it. It's still only $51 and there's 3 days to go.

Dear god - people really should learn who they are dealing with before they make assumptions. Anyone who has posted here for a while should know Dave and should know that:

1. He is not a bullshitter
2. He is a serious and longtime fan of this band.
3. Last but not least he is an all around nice guy

My offer stands Dave if you want (or need) some monetary help.
