you and i both buy various releases of the same albums and singles, so i won't take your comment as some sort of a slight.

my description states that the message is not on any other releases, meaning it was only released on gooch's album - promotional or retail. this test press is even rarer than the pressed promo and retail releases, and the retail album is a very rare item that often sells in excess of $30-50.

your last few posts here after your hiatus have been negative and mainly shot at me. i hear you've been having fun on aim as of late too. no idea what your angle is, but let's try to keep it positive, eh?
My last comment was based on my opinion. I collect too and know from my own experiences. If you feel differently about it, then that's where you and I differ. A lot of people are not obsessed and or serious about collecting anymore due to my same thinking. Not taking shots at anyone, just simply speaking my mind. You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine.

Obviously, a casual fan will not pay $20 to 50 for a track that they can get from the retail release. And so, this CD appeals for the most part, serious and dedicated collectors.

As for your comment about my last few posts, I don't see how I'm taking shots at you. My most recent post was to clarify that the track was not exclusive to this test press CD itself (which may have appeared misleading to some). The posts before that was about the Raw Fusion CD which I have available for sale. It appears redundant to make a new thread when there's no need for it. All it does is clutter the board with messages on the same topic. The post before that was to shed some light on who Karmakizmit was. I have not made any mention of you and for the most part, my posts do not really refer to you (except the most recent one, if you consider yourself obsessed :) )

^ you said it... damn right it was misleading, thank you for filling us in on the fact it appears on every release of the gooch CD. for Dante to type "This CD is especially relevant to 2Pac fans, as the answering machine message is not found on any other releases" is really unnecessary when you consider that searching on google for a tracklist of the retail CD turns up almost nothing relevant. all of this combined would have falsely driven some people with not a lot of knowledge of this release to bid thinking that the test press CDs were the only ones that contained the track "not found on any other releases".
maybe Dante thought that people knew what he meant, but considering he is such a respected member, could have clarified this a bit more.

there's no conspiracy. i explained myself here: http://www.streethop.com/forum/showpost.php?p=357698&postcount=19

while i am an honest seller, buyers owe it to themselves to check around to look before the bid as well. likewise, it only sold for 20 bucks. if it was 200 then maybe you'd have something to talk about.

you should have taken into account that some people are very stupid and will place a bid right away, because of the shock-like state they might be in. "yay oh my god im gona be a super pac collector and have all the rares!! squeek squeek!!" and they might think "oh its Dante he never lies this must be the only release its on im gona be super best 2pac terrific collector in the world and people will finally respect me on the forums and i will be super awesome cool" you get the idea... people cant think when the "place bid" button is just a click away.
i concede you werent at fault for anything, but still believe you should have clarified the situation or elaborated on the sentence..
