| Does anybody have any ideas of how some of this ebay ripping off sh*t can be stopped?? It's really annoying and it's sad to see people like the guy in the other poster who paid 45 for Maiden discs. BTW, the SOB who was running that Spectrum Marketing crap, his site has been shut down for a while now, maybe he got busted. Anybody selling Reunion (Fletch's hard work) for $40 deserves it. ;) |

| We could start an email (spam) campaign against them....Since a molotov cocktail would probably be frowned upon... |

Not too much you can do. Trading bootlegs is illegal also (I don't believe Van Halen has ever officially sanctioned tape trading), thus traders don't have the moral high ground either. You just got to learn to live with it.

smiled and said Wow! Cool! I collect these.
He showed his appreciation by spending a little extra time with my friends and signing a VH tin that I had... Then he gave me the info about working with Sammy again .... The info that caused and uproar over at the now defunct Pleasure Dome.
I still maintain that Mikey is the Coolest MF in Van Halen. |
