Uh, Ralph, Brett, or Tim, wanted to bring this to your attention, and maybe get it shut down.

This is bullshit. Shows should be traded, not sold.

Vince, thanks for catching that. This will get taken care of ASAP.

BTW, I agree that it's complete bullshit that bootlegs are sold and not traded.

Oh now this is just getting pathetic. Selling an idea that you receive free at a Punks gig just ain't cool. [Frown]

Regarding the first part of this thread, I completely agree that these kind of video and audio recordings shoulds be traded and not sold (BTW, I have Atomic Punks 2000 & 2002 VCDs for those who are interested).

However, there are two sides to the selling of the autographed picture story... back in the old days, I would get contacted by fans outside of the areas where the Atomic Punks normally played, and some of them were very grateful when they found band memorabilia on eBay and similar sites.

Now let me make this clear, I have NEVER sold any merchandise or recordings, on anything like eBay!

I am just sharing that sometimes I'd get contacted from someone out in BFE who was happy to have found something like a photo for sale, or who would told me what a deal they got on some memorabilia.

The eBay seller is apparently in Oklahoma, so for him this might be something special, and not as easy to obtain as for you and me.

The selling of autographs obtained for free is also not something that this guy invented.

Just sharing a different perspective.

Which is exactly why Eddie has stopped signing guitars people throw his way. Too many of them were ending up on the auction block, or being sold elsewhere, by "fans" who swore the guitar was "going back in their personal collection".
