Hi, Fnord and all, Not sure about everything else - but the Possum History CD would be worth 50 UKP + I would think, but then you never can tell ... Of my original list of "still important" collectibles, I'm pretty sure all exist apart from the 3" CD of Marathon's "Love Park" (which no one seems to own - I love those Orbital mixes) and, of course, "Pure Trance 5" KLF8T. I remember there being at least one mention of someone (possibly Erik Gander?) owning 8T at some point, but its continued non-existence seems strange. We now have regular copies of "Love Trance" appearing on Ebay (a track Bill & Jimmy claimed never to have recorded). But a track they HAVE said they recorded but never issued (the original unreleased, unambient, un-LP-mix, un-Lost-Continented, etc. "Last Train") still languishes unbootlegged. (Sigh) Oh, and I sold my copy of the French "No More Tears" promo CD for around £90 on Ebay about 13 months ago. I must admit, out of my 2000 or so Ebay sales, it IS the one I sort of regret now. (Sigh). And for mailing vinyl - I both some cardboard envelopes on bulk from Ebay a while back. They came complete with cardboard stiffeners and I used to put a stiffener either side of the vinyl before mailing. If I was selling more than one, I would "sandwich" the stiffeners between each record. Sometimes, I would then sellotape the envelopes together, if it was a large amount of vinyl going out to one buyer. John

Hi John and list,
I've not posted for a couple of years now but I find it hard to believe it was over 9 years since the FTM gig at the Barbican. I met a few of you there and then some more on later M25 spins.
With the passing of time I've been thinking of selling some things from my Kollection but I've not bought/sold vinyl over ebay and wondered if anyone could recommend what kind/where to get the right packaging for sending vinyl and with the new postage tariffs in the UK what kind of cost it might be for say a single 12" LP.
I can't remember where I got it from but I do have both the regular and the Aussie version of History Of The Jams CD. If anyone wants to make a fair offer for it let me know or I'll stick it up on ebay. I've got an assortment of other bits including 1 (maybe 2) WFTROM CD's, The Kalevala singles (inc 'Gimpo' signed by Gimpo!), an FTM kit bag (pretty sure all the contents are still in it) and also I was one of the lucky ones to receive the infamous Dutton VHS compilation.
I'd be interested to guage what kind of price I might expect on ebay for those even if you're not interested in them yourself.
Fnord.

I was browsing through Ebay earlier today (JAMSCD4 "buy it now" for £100, anyone?) and wondered - what is still worth getting excited about in KLF collecting circles? CHOC ICES, USAPROMOs, Love Trances, etc seem to appear regularly now.
Here's what I think is "still exciting" (even if some might not exist):
CDs: Eternity Project One, History of the JAMs Possum edition, No More Tears (French promo), What Time is Love (the Coma CD with the "Primal Mix"), Marathon "Love Park" (3" CD with Orbital mixes)
Vinyl: KLF010RR (haven't seen one of them for four years, and it was German import); ETERNITY 1 (Ebay once threw up a backwards-mastered 12" of this, I think - but not the three-tracker); KLF8T (the original Last Train, or even the sleeves with "The White Room - Pure Trance 5" written on them); Last Train (Benio Dub)
Any views?
