Re: [KLF] What is there left to Kollect?
As I think I said earlier, I estimate the Whitney limited edition would reach around £20 - mine did, about thirteen months ago, anyway. Why did it not make more? Well, I honestly think much of the early JAMMs stuff is just not as commercial (and as musically good) as the Pure Trance era and beyond - and therefore, not as collectible (apart from JAMSLP1). Also, the exact same version of "Whitney Joins the JAMs" is still available on "The History of the JAMs" import CD - and a 500-only limited edition of something that's unavailable elsewhere (like KLF010RR or K Sera Sera) would probably sell for a far, far higher price. Although you never can tell ... Anyway, for successful auctions, I suggest this: get together a few KLF items (they don't all have to be mega rarities, though), photograph them well, put them on Ebay in chronological release order (people seem to love that!) and explain everything about the release in absolute detail. This can be quite fun, and I loved writing my descriptions (which, flatteringly and annoyingly, other people used to copy and paste into their own auctions). Then, when people click on "your items", they will find a clump of beautiful KLF ephemera (I always had photos in the listings page) that they can bid on. It has that "rifle range" vibe. I'm sure these tactics bolstered my final listing prices by nearly 100% sometimes (plus, as I said, klf.de's friendly advertising of my auctions). Oh, and forget about "buy it now". I started all my auctions at 99p - Ebay finds its own fair level. Anyway, Elliot, I'm sorry all this sounds a bit high-handed (especially the stuff about the "holy grail" ETERNA 1 and the bootleg ETERNA 23). But we're all mostly big-time KLF nerds round here with Ernie's discog encoded into our DNA ... (Sighs) It's not big or clever - but at least it's not trains or "Doctor Who" (apart from KLF3 and KLF8). John

I do have a few trances a 1 two 2's and a 5, no not the white room one, the LTTT one. Its nice there is still so much love for the KLF in the world....
