Quote (Mix @ May 22 2009, 11:45) | Quote (leesonar @ May 22 2009, 14:56) | I know how you guys feel about this but the problem has been created by universal music not stamping down on this, some people have been bragging that they have brought 3 or more copies. People with 3 different internet addresses could probably have bought copies in excess of this. I agree this is pure greed. It should have been 1 copy per fan. |
I am one of those who bought 2 copies, but not in the purpose of putting either of them on eBay or elsewhere for sale. I bought the "extra" copy for kind of insurance - knowing that very likely I won't be able to obtain another copy later on if I needed to. I will keep the other one unopened and store it separately.
Paranoia? Maybe. Something to brag about? NO. Greed? Certainly not.
I have to confess that I didn't even think about this issue about other true fans missing out, when I made my purchases. I must have been one of the very first ones to purchase the copies and at that point one couldn't predict that they would sell out so quickly, and that people here, checking email regularly as I did, would be left without one.
As I said, I didn't purchase my copies for resale. You won't see either of them on offer. I suppose that for most of the other "double-dippers" the reasoning is quite the same as mine. The reasoning of those who bought 3 or even more copies, I can't guess. Maybe some DID buy them for eBaying or they are even more paranoid than I am... |
I bought 3 because one is reserved for friend and 2 goes to my collection because i usually like to keep unopened copies in my collection so i wont be ebaying them.
Also i wanted to make sure that i receive good box that is not damaged or missing something on it...i seen some other box sets so far that had partly wrong or incomplete stuff inside.
