This is the third or fourth place that I've seen Mrkants for sale/auction in the last few weeks. I guess the "release insanely limited editions of basically the same record over and over & watch them sell like hotcakes to the sad trainspotters" experiment has run it's course. :) Greg (wishing he put his Markants up on the block sooner...)

i don't think so; it just shows that there are many people buying these records just because they're limited. when they find out that it's not cool to have them anymore, they sell them. for ridiculous prices.

Isn't that basically what I wrote in slightly different terms? "Sad trainspotter" = person who buys insanely limited editions and then sells them when it's not "cool" to have them anymore. Greg

i'll admit it. i bought some because they were limited which made it easier to want to hear what was on them. i did listen and i tryed to listen again but it just wasn't working. the Markant just seem like the leftover stuff that Musik Aus Strom (which for my taste, is kind of crappy anyway) didn't want to put out. ???Ы ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
