I wasn't sure if there was a thread for this. I can't find one.

Firstly. Is it me or is this auction a bit insane?

http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-GATHERING-Anneke-van-Giersbergen-Original-photo-1_W0QQitemZ150019420317QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

Second, is this authorized merchandise?

Waw!! The first auction you linked to is just a laugh!!! I mean what a CRAPPY shot!! You see th emonitor wedge more than the subject of the picture and this great photographer flashed... hahaha

The second one is someone, like the first, who tries to make money on the back of someone else's... he just got lucky to get very high resolution of this home promo shot and cropped it cause he thinks the guys of that band dont deserve to be on a 'poster'...

These are ONE OF A KIND photos printed from the original negative. You will be the only one to own this photo! Cool, huh? This photo was taken at the Trocadero in Philadelphia quite a few years back when I was taking pictures for my magazine, Metal Rules! Magazine!


:lol: :lol: :lol:

I laughed so much when I read this! If he's an "avid" photographer, then I'm god :lol: .

Hehe, I remember first seeing that auction up on ebay ages ago...
it's scary to realize this, but I think it's been there on and off for at least 9 years now.

He took that photo during the brief HTMAP US tour in 1999, and put it up on ebay not too long after.

It's funny, because I dunno if "wtf" ever occurred to me til thinking about it just now :P
I mean it looks no better than the photos I took of them with my crappy disposable camera at a show on that same tour :)
They're a nice reminder to me of the event, but I can't imagine selling them at $25 a pop and saying,
"WHATTA DEAL!" :D

Haha so it's been on e-Bay for so long? :lol: That's hilarious, I'm glad no one has been stupid enough to buy "them" photos. :D

Maybe it's a serial killer who's looking for an address.
