duntov1966 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 QUOTE (Sign Of Eth @ Apr 17 2009, 06:09 AM) Free? Geez! How'd I miss that! Nice get. It was free to the first 150 people whom ordered Retro 3, I think from the site or the record company, something like that. The next 500 got the free 4Gig jump drive with silkscreening.. quite nice as well. I saw one of these jump drives sell for about $40 on flea-bay.

jebren72 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Whats wrong with the price? It MAY be a little high but I wouldnt be surprised at all if he got a bid at $295. I've sold a couple photos for over $500 each before, and have paid $300 for an album. If its nice and authentic it will sell eventually. If I had a couple hundred to spend I would try and get one.

job Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 That price is totally reasonable for an item, limited to 150 units, and signed by the entire band. Especially since it can be authenticated very easily. It WILL sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilPeartFan2112 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I got mine the other day, #7/150. Fast delivery time but the packaging was horrible, very flimsy cheap cardboard. Unfortunately it was creased in two places. Still awesome, and I hope it looks good framed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jebren72 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Whats wrong with buying them "just to sell"? Does he really need to state his thought process behind buying them? I know this is leading to(or at least insinuates) the inevitable and ridiculous argument that he should never be buying anything to resell of Rush and that he's somehow less of a fan for doing it than the people who'd never sell their's. Just thought I'd ask the obvious question-who's business is it why he bought them and what difference does it make? Unless someone here is his wife, or he stole them from Rush's office, I guess I really dont see a point in asking that of someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jebren72 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've bought, sold and owned probably 50 signed Rush items, and no one is any bigger fan of Rush than I am(though I'm sure many are equal). Selling or holding onto an autograph is no indication of ones level of fandom. It just means you kept or sold an autograph. Everyone has different reasons for holding onto or letting go of things. If no one sold them, how would anyone like me who missed it ever get one of the signed lithos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
job Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Neither am I...I'm just trying to dig your logic. Like I said, I know the guy. He's a real Rush fan. He's keeping one and selling the others at what will eventually be an extremely fair price. Don't see anything worng with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmdyyz Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 History Lesson- RUSH sold autograph book 500 items for $500 each 2112 & power windows lith- band signed - 2,500- $400 each This is fair market value Don't want it don't bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebren72 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I would instead say that the $900 VT litho or the fake signed Permanent Waves album that are on there now fall under the title of ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
