Is This Worth A Buy?

HI,

I was browsing Ebay for something a speficic Jaki Graham CD and thought that I would look at trying to get hold of very early editions of Now That's What I Call Music which origionally I purchased on LP, (when I was a teenager back in the mid 1980's), on CD. Anyway, I cam accross this.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...746636789&rd=1

My questions is, is this worth a buy. during the browse, Inoticed other sellers selling the same thing, but could not decide if it was worth the money. If it helps I have around 10 Now CDs but that is about all.

Your help would be appreciated.

I'd go for it - they've said you can have a refund and I'm sure EBay would hold them to that if you weren't satisfied.

I think ebay would be more concerned about the illegal trade that this is !!

Its a good deal,but theres no way ebay will be willing to help if there is a problem because its piracy as has been mentioned above.

my my the heat has antagonised a lot of people today hasn't it. Sorry but I'm not getting into a petty row on a discussion board - I just gave my opinion and it's fair enough to have a differing one but the tone of the replies were unnecessary.

Exactly what "tone" are you attaching to my reply, I think I was fair in what I said - and if you want to get off your high horse for a moment, you are the one who first made an antagonistic post, so spare us the holier-than-thou approach.

The use of sarcasm was uneccesary, which got my back up. For some reason, people on discussion boards always seem to need anger management classes. Calm down love.
Bye.

You obviously know a different definition of sarcasm then.

I don't need anger management classes, I'm totally calm and not your love. Read back the thread and ask yourself who was the person to take this down the route of agressive and antagonistic posts and then look in a mirror - you'll see the same person.

If they use any form of lossy compression then I'd be unlikely to pay for them.

Also, with pirated music like this there's no guarantee that they're not ripped from vinyl or something like that. Since I already have most of the early ones on vinyl, and the newer ones are complete pants, I think I'll stay away from this one.

I see the seller is no longer registered!

But there are copycat sellers undercutting the prices anyway - one just went for £3.99.

I know it's illegal, but it's pretty much free at that price. I presume they are MP3s as you wouldn't get 60CDs worth of FLACs on 2 DVDs. Probably 128k, good enough.

Yes if you think that pirate copies are worth anything.

Ebay couldn't give a monkey's about piracy. They only get scared when the BPI ask them to remove something. Which I would encourage people to report to btw at www.bpi.co.uk

Such as indifference...that to me is a crime.

Not good enough to pay for, IMO. If I want dodgy 128k copies I can just download them for free.
