I'd really like one of these although anything over around $200 would be foolhardy of me to buy at the moment. Assuming there are at least five people here who want one, if you let it be known who you are, maybe we can come to some sort of arrangement here and not bid against each other. I'm assuming that all four remaining test pressings will get onto Ebay (the fifth is staying with Haze at AmRep).

e***a (score 359) will bid up to $500 on #2 as they did on #1 so I guess those two are out of bounds.

That's the thing, there are probably many MITROWSKI's out there.  The number one Melvins super fan is unknown.

Maybe Legit is out robbing post offices this week to pay for these, that's why we haven't heard from him!

He wouldn't get much from our post offices, they are on the verge of going broke (it's the American way!).

it's a shame they would allow stuff like this to happen.  it really makes me think less of you guys (amrep, oxop, melvins, etc.)  at least allowing a buy it now for a certain price...or a raffle....but really....let these guys drive the bid up to almost 1000 bucks so far?  absurd, but i am entitled to my opinion and opinions are like assholes....everyone has them.  goodluck. DIY....(chuckles.)

MITROWSKI is one man.   and he is all too real. 

and as far as I know he still holds the state record for consecutive matches won in the 160 lb. weight class - state of minnesota high school wrestling.

If this "stuff"  didn't happen the general vinyl release wouldn't happen.  How the fuck do you think the mastering, pressing, and art is getting paid for?  No one has a "right" to any of these and the buyer drives the market.

Yep, that's what I was gonna say.

Only 'cos you've already got one

Not to mention nothing would stop the buyers from buying a test pressing at a "buy now" price only to resell it for double value, if not more.

Nope....I wish.
I just hope they will be less than $100, when the "regular" ones come out.....& I'll be happy with one copy of the 1000.

[LebRon Maiden]

#1 is going to go above $1000.  Watch it fly!

[rhett E rock]

that artwork is sick...i might have to splurge my Christmas bonus on this.  but by the looks of these auctions i doubt i'll get one.  i don't have that kind of money to burn.  plus i need some drum equipment.

maybe this will be like the A Senile Animal box-set and more will "magically" show up.
