Hello y'all:

Despite being absent from the online community for years, I've been a Live fan for almost two decades now. (I used to run one of the earliest fan sites, Merica.) And during my teenage years my most reckless hobby was collecting rare Live releases.

However, I am in the midst of moving, and therefore paring down my belongings. It saddens me, but I feel I must part ways with my Live collection. The hobby brought great joy to me, but I am trying very hard to de-clutter.

I know I could post all my items on eBay or something, but I wanted to see if any die-hard fans were interested first. I really don't want much for even the pretty rare stuff. I'd just like them to go to good a home or homes.

Below is my collection (well, the interesting/rare stuff at least). Send me a message if you're interested in any of the items or the whole collection. Thanks!

-Marc

That's quite a collection, I hope you find a buyer for it all.

I remember your website, but I wasn't able to find the URL in my bookmarks. Do you have the URL handy because I'd like to use the Way Back Machine at http://www.archive.org to relive some memories

Oh please don't. I did that recently and was mortified. Granted, I was like in 7th grade when I started the site, but it's one cheesy web page. It's so bad it's almost some form of new media art

(But if you really insist: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/1070)

Hey mate

I remember your site!! Will have to check it out again with archive.org (if you don't mind!)

Sad to hear you're getting rid of your collection, I've thought about doing so myself many times but haven't taken the plunge yet - so PM Sent regarding a few of these

Quite the collection Marc. Sorry that you have to part with it.

Did anyone else notice that he doesn't have anything post TDTH era? Even the die-hard of die-hard fans couldn't bare to own anything post TDTH.

Live lost a lot of casual and hard-core fans. And don't blame it on lack of promotion Nick. It was lack of good music.

You're right, SinfulEyes. I did give up on Live -- at least financially -- a while back (more like post-Birds of Pray), but I didn't want to re-enter the fan universe beating that dead horse. I'm looking forward to what the other members have to offer, sans Ed. I just can't get behind him and what he's about these days. But again, not trying to spark debate. I'll always treasure the good years ...

SPark the debate, we've been blitzing each other for a few years now. Ed's new material appeals to his very devoted brainwashed fans. Feel free to support TGF and whatever they do from here on out. They're counting on real music fans to embrace them.

Amen brother. The debate has been on-going for years. It's really, really sad how the most devout Live fans can't stand Live's newer music and what Ed has to offer.

Only suckers who once hated Ed, that got tricked into feeling something special (running a Facebook fan page) like him now.

I don't know man, you might see Nick selling a similar collection, but that's because he can't bare to part with anything post TDTH

I'm interested in your vinyl. Are these still available?

Hey y'all. Thanks so far for your interest in my stuff! Just so you know, I've been asking for about $2-5 a CD and $15 vinyl on average (plus shipping), but I'm willing to reduce that significantly for buying more stuff. Here's what's left:

Howdy. Not to be too annoying by posting again, but wanted to offer up the rest of my Live collection as a package deal one last time before it gets donated to Goodwill. I'm offering everything below for $50 plus shipping. I'd prefer U.S. shipping only, as I found out international shipping is not fun (e.g. customs). I just don't have room for this stuff, and I want to see it go to a good fan's home. Here's the whole shebang:
