Jag2112 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Although these 'special editions' of Geddy's upcoming book are pricey, they do look really sweet.

toymaker Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 It's kind of nice when things are so prohibitively expensive that the need to decide is pretty much taken away from me. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 For that money I will buy a new bass guitar and wait for the paperback version. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Perhaps the proceeds go to charity, which is a different story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I actually kind of like the t shirt and the coffee mug . . .but the ultra deluxe edition made me laugh- "case with secret compartment!" . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil1972 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Rush has officially become KISS. For that cash he could at least bring it to me personally. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 As a collector myself, I'm looking forward to the book. But I don't need it packaged in the Ark of the Covenant, or anything like that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfwayToGone Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Everybody does bundles now, not just Kiss and Rush. It’s the new normal. These really are priced to not move like hotcakes, I’m betting to discourage the secondary market from making more than Geddy on the numbered editions. Ebayers will make nothing if they still have them sitting around at the band online store for a long time, like that european art of rush edition did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Fleecing the sheep. Q: How long, if ever, will it take before any of these become worth more than they sell for? A: Long after the buyer is dead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thizzellewashington Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If they want to put that out there for people who want to pay that much for it, I'm not mad at it. It looks very nice and if I was wealthy enough to have that kind of disposable income I would probably get it. I'll stick with the regular edition.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 "THE BIG MONEY!" Please don't rip Geddy, Alex and Neil if they want to make money. Please don't use the KISS cliche. The boys deserve every fuckking penny they make! Don't bitch about it! Get an education and get off yer lazy ass and make a great career!!!!!! Stop it!!!!! Some of you on here hate my guts and fuckk it! So? I bust my ass man! I have so much stress in my life but it's worth it! I use this forum as entertainment and as a stress release. I know I can go way too far but I have no regrets!!! If I offend you then fuckking ignore me! I will never ignore "The Enemy Within" because that would be foolish. I'm typing about the enemies within this two dimensional matrix. I think of "Different Strings" being on here all the time. "Making arrows out of pointed words" So? You bring it? I will always fire back. 73 is a frigging fair and balanced MOD. Please don't judge me. Take a look at yourself in the wilderness of mirrors. Life isn't fair, but you all have freewill to do what ever you want! Sorry Pat! Not sure if you will read this but our olive oil business went under 5 years ago. Even when you have a great product and a wonderful logo you can still fail in biz. That's life. Pick up the pieces and move on. Life is short. If you can't afford a Geddy Lee auto book, then I agree with another poster. Go buy a Jazz Fender bass for 899. I have two and play the drums. Follow your dreams and your passions. RUSH will always be mine. "A spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission" I've found my place in life. I'm fuckking 50. DUH! You kids out there better wake up and work hard! BE A WORKING MAN! A WORKING WOMAN!!!! The rewards will pay off. Quit bitching about Rush charging too much for swag. Get a fuckingg real job and enjoy your life and freedom. "Grace Under Pressure" says it all to me. Always has since I was 16 when it came out. Greatest RUSH album ever since Hemispheres. I was 16 and busted my ass at Safeway for 16 years. Retail Hell. Taught me so much especially while going through college. Making great money and being in academia. Best of both worlds. Then I got into business with my dad. Nuff said. NOT BAD FOR A DRUNK COCAINE HEROIN METH RUSHHEAD! LOL!!!!! IDIOTS RULE!!!!!! For all the assholes on here who have made fun of me over the years. You are the true 1% of my existence. Love, JANE'S ADDICTION LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
