Yeah, arguably not the most discreet seller on earth.

I've seen quite a few of these "for one person only"-auctions lately.

Has ebay changed their second Chance Offer policy such that other people can see the items? I had this happen in August; I sold an item and had a duplicate. Since the 2nd place bid looked good to me, I sent that person a 2nd Chance Offer. Before that person accepted the offer, I got some emails from other people asking about the auction! I thought no one could see those except the person the offer was being made to?

The whole auction is hilarious to read ... "Don't do payment until you tell postage after the successful bid" ... the buyer has to tell the postage I guess ?

usual price for that Maiden 7" is around 1800 (very cheap) -2500 € (average price) so will the reserve be.

The thing that kills me about that Maiden single and other high-dollar Maiden items is that YOU CAN GET THE SONGS ON A HUNDRED OTHER PIECES OF VINYL! Really, there's nothing new to pay for on this single- no exclusive song that's hard to come by, no exclusive artwork you can't find on other versions, nothing. Folks think it's nutty to pay a lot for other metal rarities, but when you buy a Solar Eagle or Crowhaven or Leather Nunn or Paradoxx at least you're getting songs that weren't also released on an easy-to-find $20 version of the exact same single put out at the same time around the world :)

Well, there's my little rant for the night

I think this time this was released the press runs were quite small for vinyls?
