Fans will pay what they will pay. The CDs in question were laid out on a merchandising table in Edinburgh recently for £5 - £10 a pop. The delightful young merchandiser flogged me a Juan Fluorescent book for £4. The tickets for the night for my Mrs and me were £54. I spent about £12 in petrol and two hours driving to get to the gig. A bottle of cider and a pint was £8.
If this eBay seller wants to try to flog these niche wee CDEPs for vastly inflated prices - good luck to them. That's gonna be a hard way to make a living.
I can understand fans who will part with such sums when they were unable to get to the gigs to buy the items (no sales for most of the 131 spin-off CDs through the HH Merchandiser - deliberately so). However having heard pretty much all of the 131 stuff, aside from a few tracks they don't really merit repeated listens and are pretty much for the completists, intriguing little beautifully conceived and designed CDs that they are.
