That's a hell of a lot of money, Sam, sure hope it's worth it. That went way over my budget, but I'm chuffed it stayed within the 'family'

Yes, it is, but I didn't go in it alone.
Well speaking as the guy you outbid last night, thats a bit too much money wouldnt you say, seeing as both of us are Noolers?

So, you're the gent from South Africa?
Where were you before last night, though? Would you be saying the same thing had you won? Maybe you would have, but I have no way of knowing for sure.
And I was lucky to have the support of plenty of fellow NOOLers, so even though it came out to be twice as much (or 5 quid more), it's spread among more people than it would have been otherwise.
I'm assuming that you had to bid over 200 in the first place to exceed sisterray72's offer...but isn't sisterray72 also a fellow NOOL'er, assuming his handle history matches one that's been featured fairly prominently? And who's to say whether barney69 doesn't post on here as well?

Yes I am, the only one who posts from RSA.
Well I was on the beginning of this thread, that's where I was! Yes I think I would be saying that, the winning bid was at 112 quid until ten seconds to go. I'm not a great collector of NO stuff, JD maybe, but this was just a way to pay back something I had received out of the Nool community.
I have no idea who sisterray72 is, but I had spoken to barney69 -he is a Nooler too - and to the seller trying (unsuccessfully) to secure a copy of the tape for Noolers. It was just to stop something rare and relatively high value disappearing into private hands like they so often do.
Anyway, good luck, you won it fair and square! There's a thread on DR saying we've got more money than brains...

Which was the exact thinking behind the 'consortium' bid that won. I understand that you're upset about having it nabbed off you, but you'll still get to hear it AND you keep your money. The group bid was made with the sole intention of sharing it among the community and to try and ward off a well known collector that would not have been so generous.
As it happened, that competition never came. If anything, you're the bad guy for hiking the price up at the last moment. :D

Not quite what happened...here's what the bid history shows:
Auction ended at 13:47:58 PST.
samhabash GBP 205.01 Feb-19-06 13:47:40 PST tltwatw GBP 200.01 Feb-19-06 13:44:36 PST sisterray72 GBP 110.00 Feb-19-06 11:06:09 PST barney69* GBP 72.55 Feb-19-06 13:17:18 PST
So 3 out of the 4 are NOOL'ers, and I bet sisterrray72 is too. I guess being a NOOLer doesn't guarantee very much. :(
Did anyone have the forsight or cheek to actually email the seller and ask for a copy? I did and he never replied 
So was it a NOOLer that won the tape ? , if so will i be able to get a copy seen as i was the original bidder trying to get it so that the team could share ?

Have a look at the bid history again and get your facts straight. The winning bid was 112 quid until a few seconds to go - thats what it would have cost me to beat Sisterray's bid. It cost you 205.01 to beat my maximum bid, thats something else entirely. I know nothing about a consortium, you certainly didnt let it be known on this thread or on this site anywhere that I can see. At least I alluded to what I would try and do in black and white earlier in this thread. I'm not too fussed about not getting the tape for personal ownership, I believe I said that already. I just hope you guys arent disappointed with whats on it!

Yeah, you're right, but you could have let me have it for 117 :)...but you were concerned by being outbid by Sisterray...so you set a fairly high maximum.

You're right about that. I guess "tltwatw" is secret code for "Stephen Lea" that I had missed in my carelessness. But since I know who that is now, I can see that you clearly posted earlier on in the thread.
I think if I had it to do all over again, I probably should have said something here, but eBay auctions are tricky affairs, and revealing your (good) intentions early has a way of backfiring in unexpected and frightening ways...and it may have turned out completely differently.

You mean, I hope *we* aren't disappointed with what's on it!
Well, I *do* plan on making it available to all and sundry...and I already have had about 15 people make good on their pledges (with others on their way)...so in fact I've saved you well over 100 pounds. Feel free to contact me privately if you want to discuss the matter further!

Well if you knew I was from SA then you checked out my e-bay profile before you bid and I am fairly regular on this site and the only one with a .za. By the same token I dont know you as samhabash - I did start trawling through the Californians yesterday but there are so many of you f***ers! Its not an issue... This sort of item is a bit different to what normally will get raided at the last moment on e-bay, I think I know who the collector is you're talking about, but there's a good chance it will come to a Nooler in most cases.
If nothing else, you have proved yourself to be an ace bloke, for stepping in and offering to take this upon yourself...
Kudos! 
maybe in the future, if items like this come up again..
you could re-organize a team privately, but publicly invite people to donate with the intention of sharing later on..
that way, hopefully there won't be a conflict over these items. of course a certain amount of trust would have to be involved.
but i'm glad that there is an effort to preserve these recordings and release them....i know there was another bootleg of demos that was released on 'dimeadozen.org' that i got, and then i saw a copy of it on ebay, and i was glad that people had shared it, instead of me having to pay money for it..

Nah, I wouldn't take much stock in what any angle-bracketed folk having fun at the expense of the seller have to say.
Curiosity is killing me. I hope you post a definitive description of what is recorded when you can. Of course, I hope it's something really good!

are you putting it on Dimeadozen as well?
Thought about it, but not everybody has DIME logins.
I have received this. Expect about a week before it's banged up to snuff.
To illustrate what I'm talking about when I say "bang into shape", here's samples of the first song, both in "raw" form and something similar to what the mastered version will sound like...
Loveless as transferred from demo tape
Mastering candidate version of Loveless
I'm not doing the mastering, someone else has graciously volunteered to take on this task.
Oh wow. 
Could I ever bliss out on that Loveless version there! That's why I love rehearsal tapes; just a jam out session that gives versions that I would love to hear.
Give kudos to your mastering friend, there.
Good shit Sam - well done, nice to hear something 'new'.
Looking forward to this finished project!
