 |  Subject: My official "retirement" from eBay auction.  Mon Sep 29, 2008 11:57 pm | |
| ...and YAY, what an auction to win!! Have finally got myself a copy of the Australian 12" pic sleeve of Burning Up, and it's in great condition....for AU$46.00. This is in the Top 200 Rare (104 place)!  (pinch me!) last time (months ago) a really tattered copy went for much more than this!  http://www.madonnarecords.com/data/record.asp?ID=429&List=off |

| I was quite proud of myself. Today I went to a dark, dusty little record shop in Petone and ruffled through their record bins for Madonna stuff. I walked out with: http://www.madonnarecords.com/data/cover.asp?ID=3695(True Blue: Super Club Mix 12" Maxi Single) http://www.madonnarecords.com/data/cover.asp?ID=3042(Papa Don't Preach 12" Maxi Single) BOTH are Japanese issued singles. And believe it or not, they were still sealed. Lemme repeat: Still. Sealed. For $30 each? Even the guy behind the counter said, "Wow, you seem happy." _________________  |

| Wow that's a cool looking single! I've started collecting the reissued singles from 1995: the two-track singles manufactured in Germany. So far I've won Lucky Star, Angel and Material Girl. They're hellishly expensive though (some of 'em are $40US!). _________________ |

| Ok, today, last thing I bought...Ltd Edition CD of Music (Pink Hessian cover), Rain digipak single (for Up Down Suite) and Nothing Really Matters clip case (for the CD artwork.) Now I gotta get the single of Secret with Let Down Your Guard on it. Ooh, and last night I won a mint 12" of Lucky Star (the one with the TV cover) off Ebay UK. I've been very good actually and limiting myself to one 12" a week! |

| Funny story about secret. When it came out, I was in a record shop in Auckland and I asked the guy behind the counter if Madonna's new CD single had been released. He smirked at me and said no but he has a copy and started parading it in front of me. I kinda acted like I didn't care at all but his manager saw this going on and told him he had to sell it to me now if I wanted it. He looked at me with such venom in his eyes when I announced I wanted it. I couldn't very well say no. BTW, you can also get an Aussie cardboard CD single with let down your guard which crops up in real groovy bins quite a bit and also this 12" record from Germany which people tend to forget about and the 7" pic disc and I think that the cassette single also contains that song, but will have to check - anyway there is an abundance of different formats for you to find that song on   |

| Thanks Corey, I am scanning the bargain bins at Real Groovy, only want it on CD so I have a hard copy of the song. Its easy to find though, Ebay and Amazon have heaps but I'm sure a CD copy will crop up in NZ for peanuts. Also waiting for a 12" with pic sleeve to crop up, purely for the 12" collection. Hey Shane I saw yours listed but it said it didn't come with a case so I flagged it. Definitely want the case/sleeve with it. |

I've only ever seen one 12" maxi in NZ from Japan and that was Like A Virgin which I snapped up but that was the early 90's. See you just never know what you can find here. I found a cassette single in Tauranga of True Blue awhile ago made in Aussie or NZ, how insane, considering I was a kid in the 80's and I cannot remember cassette singles in NZ from that time, I think the earliest was Like A Prayer:) though Japan and Canada released 'em way before, I actually have angel on cassette single and dress you up. 
Sorry getting off topic.
