A 10" x 8" b/w 1996 EastWest publicity photograph for Stina's 'Dynamite' album has been sold on eBay for £25.09 ( $50.02) plus p&p on top.
You could just about buy most of Stina's albums for the same money.
hmmm....I wonder what my MOAC promo photos are worth?

I bid £25 thinking nobody could possibly want to pay more than that-but they did.
A certain 'cqdsth' in Sweden.Hmm-cqd-must be someone who's been around these boards.Own up,who is it??

This is how ebay works.

Say one person put a max bid of £25. Then another person, who obviously never expected the first person's max to be that high bids with a max of £40. The price then skyrock.

I was interested in this item, but £25 - no thanks.

I wonder who this CQD Stockholm is? Stina - are you there?

You're so right, £25 way too much for this kind of item... have to bite my tongue next time bidding

Thediver-If you send me a high qual glossy scan of the pic,I'll forgive you. Do you want to go halves on the cost? or at least 1/3 me,2/3 you since you get to keep the pic.PM me.

well,it is rather rare....I certainly can't recall seeing a copy on eBay in the last eight years.

I bet the seller is rubbing his/her hands though with glee.....in fact they're probably down at Staples right this minute printing off dozens of copies now that they (think they) know what its worth.
