Abby Normal Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I have been looking at ebay for pre-recorded MDs, but they are virtually all more than I'm willing to pay. Also, the selection is pretty lousy. I'm not looking at collector's value. I just would like to have some in MD format to add to the "conversation" value of the format. So, what I'd like to see happen is for people who are genuinely looking to "get out of MD" is for them to post their pre-pressed (not pirated, bootleg, copied from CD/other format) collections that they'd like to sell. If the collections are substantial, I may be wanting to buy a good number of them. I may be dreaming in terms of how low I'd like to bid--I have a fair CD collection already and really I'm thinking of my pricing wishes in the context of the myriad ways I can already get this content. The desire to get them in MD format is more of a novelty interest--and not a strong enough one to warrant paying the prices I've been seeing on ebay.Thanks.

brian10161 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 One problem I have found with ebay is people sit and wait until the exact end of the listing to post a bid. I got outbid on like 10 Pearl Jam copies of Ten like this.I'm in the same boat as you, I'd like to get a couple pre-recorded MDs just to have them. I have never seen a pre-recorded MD in person, so it would be pretty awesome to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it a number of years ago in a used CD store. It is Richard and Linda Thompson's "Shoot Out The Lights." I like the music on it well enough, but I have never been overly impressed with the SQ. I've played it a few times. If anyone wants, it, I'd be happy to take almost any sort of blank SP MD + case for it. It comes in its original case. I would be happy to mail it to anywhere in North America. Always nice to see something go to a good home. PM me if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony_Fan Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 May not be worth much, but I have disc 2 of the Forest Gump Soundtrack. It's a genuine prerecorded MD, but the label is missing and the latch moves freely. Still plays fine in good old ATRAC 292kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Oops. I've left this topic open longer than I had to. I've got plenty of pre-recorded MDs now (and bluecrab and I made a nice trade in the process, too--sorry, Liz, I should've said that was already taken days ago). I'm good for now. If anyone does have anything extra interesting that they might be willing to part with for an attractive price, PM me.(Moderator closed topic by request of topic starter.)
