Title: real copy of island of lost minds on e-bay
Post by: zappahead on January 04, 2006, 01:37:45 PM
how many did they print??? i have the download of one of the funnest parts of bucketheadland, i was just shocked to see it on e-bay. it\'s up to $145.50 with 20 hours left, WOW. it\'s about to top inbred mountain. that\'d be weird what if the island of lost minds was on top of inbred mountain, looking over the rest of the park, whoa

p.s. can\'t wait for that devil dub reprint travis

I wish Island of the lost mind was re-issued to avoid this kind of rip off. I was so happy when I saw a copy of it on e-bay, but when I saw the price  :o

This is something we are interested in doing. If you would be willing to buy the pre-release of an Island of Lost Minds re-issue, I\'m taking names and counting heads here:

Oh and yes that would be more like $15.00 than the ebay alternatives.

I hope noone minds, but when I read this post I just had a thought of a TDRS signal like the bat signal.....only instead of a superhero showing up, it\'s a signal for us fans to sign up for a future release (or reprint) and/or donate some money to make it a reality.

(http://www.salpy.ca/tdrslight.jpg)

(Instead of Batman showing up, I also had an image of a tired Travis on his 5th cup of coffee in a rumpled shirt...however, I have no idea if Travis even drinks coffee, and I should also mention I have an overactive imagination)

*oh, and sorry for all copyright infringements

" What is this album like?"

its a veritable bone crusher of an album - it has some really harsh shards as Buckethead might say...

Another great plan. Judging by the eBay demand, I\'d say it\'d be a success. Do it!

Travis, will there be differences between the pre-release version and the official version?

Isn\'t selling pre-release versions of the cd running the risk of finding them on e-bay at 200$ a few days later?

Anyway, thanks once again for listening to your fans Travis.

Travis could out them up on eBay himself for the correct price like he did with Inbred Mountain...

Well by pre-release, I mean are you willing to pay for the CD before it\'s pressed and wait to get the CD. There is no CD to sell on ebay until everyone gets the one they ordered at the same time and yes I would probably put a kibosh on ebay this time as well. This CD would be the same as before though we may modify the cover somewhat.
The reason for asking first is we have a lot of things in the works and up front pressing costs are the main reason things fall out of print. Some CD\'s have fairly low demand and can take sometime to recover the costs and with other things like the new Thanatopsis and others waiting for production funding I have to carefully prioritize the funds. If I can better get an idea of demand and even better, pre-sell the right number, I can make this happen sooner than later.

Makes a lot of sense Travis.  It seems you could offer a preorder too for the new Thanantopsis, I know I would buy a copy.  Thanks for your efforts!  ;D

Ok, thanks for the answer Travis, I\'ve just entered my name. Now I\'ve got to keep a bit of money on stand-by. ;D

Travis, good luck in your efforts. I\'m sure as a smaller operation that means you have to work that much harder and efficiently. Hopefully us dedicated fans here make it at least a little bit easier for ya.
