They are brand new and retail at $24.95 and $29.95 respectively. They are brand new. I will sell both for $45, which will include book rate shipping in the US for anyone interested. I have sold on the RDT for some time, and have references as well. jon haves@en.com GO WINGS (right Karen!?!?) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Jun 1997 23:36:21 -0400 (EDT) From: Nile72@aol.com Subject: Re: precious-things-digest V2 #151 In a message dated 97-06-04 06:18:14 EDT, you write: << Using this list (and most likely RDT) as prime example, I think Tori's fans are more likely to jump at each others throats than many other artists' fans. They are also more likely to crush each other rushing the stage, push each other out of the way at a ticket counter or record store, and pretty much shoot each other down when it comes to opinions and computer virus warnings. I think many people would benefit from these two words: Lighten up. David >> I don't think this list is all that different from others. I'm on 4 or 5 right now, and they all experience this. If you think it's bad here, come over to the Smiths/morrissey mailing list! :-) Whether they be for actors or bands, people have strong opinions about things and people they like, and have trouble accepting differing points of view. I think this is pretty normal considering how many diverse people can be on a list. Also, I really believe that people get "ballsy" on the internet. There's a lot of anonymity with e-mail and therefore we are more apt to really say what we feel, and possibly to bait others with inflammatory comments. Things most of us wouldn't do in "real" life. Now, I'm not saying this about anyone in particular, or even anyone on this list, but this is something I've come to believe. I try to live by the rule " don't say anything online to someone that you couldn't say to their face". It may seem corny, but I think that many people could benefit from this suggestion. Anyways, this is just my 2 cents. I agree with David, let's lighten up. This is supposed to be fun and informative. :-) BMiMuse@aol.com (Barbara) ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V2 #155 *************************************
