I apologize... I just want to make sure we all get a fair deal.

I got your email and I'll respond shortly.

Lets all get this done together at a reasonable price.

I think the op is the one selling this on e bay and is also jacking the price. Lets give him a nice price and keep it reasonable for all of us here. There is no reason for greed.

I still think this Dave guy is bluffing and we should stop giving him attention. We'll bid our price and if Dave beats it, so be it.

Dave, you should stop posting if you have nothing to add to the group collectively. The more you say, the more I think your full of shit.

Please stop speaking for us and trying to turn us against someone who has taped so so so so many shows for the community. If you don't know Dave, that's fine, but he is a big help to the community and is really a nice guy.

I've got to agree with you here!

Why would you? We are all trying to collectively work together to get a b rated song at a decent price for us and the seller. Every other post is Dave telling us how we're wasting our time. He might be a good dude but not in this situation and just discouraging our efforts.

I didn't want to respond to your infantile derision but my impulse control is pretty weak and reading your drivel makes my testes ache ever so slightly.

Sounds like a personal issue. Maybe you should see a doctor. The going rate is 1200.00 bucks. I think you could afford that.

Very clever, my opinion of you soars.
Perhaps get a little banter coaching from the internet troll guild and try again, assuredly nobody here would think less of you. Oh wait there I go speaking for others, maybe we are alike, maybe we should be friends, maybe.....

Nige, you shouldn't need backing up. Anyone who is paying attention should realize who some of the members are before they shoot from the hip. Same with Dave. Both of you provided us with many of your own recordings before anyone else here even dreamed of taping. Without Dave's encouragement I would never have even started. It was 2003 that he really talked me into it - and holy crap that was 10 years ago :shocked!:

And just for the record, Nige and I were co-mods on the long dead Jovitalk file sharing forum. That forum was closed in 2004 so many of us have known each other a long time. I will back him up anyday.

Look, I'm sure you're a nice guy and maybe in 3 days we could be friends.

Understand where I'm coming from. I spent yesterday trying to coordinate a plan for all of here to win a nice, basic new song from the band. It's not like it's from the Blaze era. I have 25 demos from the Bounce / Crush era and this song just fits right in with the rest. It's really nothing that special. No one even wants to obtain the physical CD. We just want the song in the best quality offered.

Considering the last song sold for 70, which still seems over the top but a fair price for someone who's into it, I figured the same for this.

All of a sudden you show up with this master plan saying we are wasting our time because you're willing to spend 1,200.00. Do you really think the bid will even get remotely close to that? And then you are go on saying that you are going to trade for it or some shit like that. And you're not going to share it, etc... I see right through what your doing and it's not cool.

Come on man. Why ruin it for everyone? You should have just did what you had to do during the biding time and ended it there. Why come here with all of that? You are messing with my plan!

Then you get Kathleen going and she's trying to get in on your action by buttering you up and offering money. (The dude said he is willing to spend 1,200.00 on song so I don't think he wants your 50 bucks and risk his purchase value?). I went to bed with good plan in place and woke up to people in disarray.

It seems like we had enough people willing to contribute that would keep the price down for us but yet give the seller a fair price as well. It's a win / win for all. The whole world would get a new Bon Jovi song thanks to Dry County...

This is business, it's not personal. lol... Let's regroup after this is over and do some serious Jovi talk. I have a lot of rare stuff from the early days that might be worth something.

Be cool!!!

If anything screams "desperate", I think the above post does.
