I'm not going to name people, but many in the trading community have been alienated recently over this elitist attitude that has come up over the masters. If they want to say something, so be it. If they don't feel like speaking up like I am, so be it.

I got a bunch of the newly released masters about two-three weeks ago from a trading buddy. Then someone in the elitist group of Stevie fans found out and sent me a ridiculous email, telling me that I had better not trade the masters or else I'd face repurcussions.

Incredibly ridiculous, but these ridiculous behaviors have been confirmed by other traders I've spoken to as widespread. The policy with many traders now is that you better not trade the masters that only the select few should have the privilege to listen to, or you will be blackballed as a bad trader.

"Let it be...oh, let it be..."

As for these tapes---had I had the cash, I would've bought them, had someone transfer them for me, then returned the tapes to Stevie herself. How I would've done the returning is beyond me, but I would've figured it out somehow.

Stevie knows about it because the person that got ahold of the masters offered them back to her.

She said she had her own copies and to keep them.

However, she didn't know that her fans would turn nasty over them and sell them for exorbitant amounts on eBay.

I wonder if Stevie would, in the future of course, pull a "Beatles-esqe" situation and release the masters she has in the "vault" like the Beatles did to curtail the bootleg sales of their master reels/sessions/outtakes/etc. with the official "Anthology" releases???

I would pay to hear that...But SO would everyone else...LOL!!!!

Now, I'm not saying that all traders are being selfish over the masters, just a select bunch. Lord knows, Sara (SN Underground) was one of the first to bring all of us the old masters, which I'm sure we are all grateful for. Some have posted the masters on their websites for us to download. But now, some of them are refusing to spread the masters and are being quite childish about it. What is the point of sending people warning emails over bootlegs? If someone can explain, I'll seriously listen.

More reels up on auction by I think the same seller (who, btw, I feel is a total witch, Ive dealt with her before... but that's my mere personal opinion).

I'd advise anyone who is planning on bidding to check out her feedback. I wouldn't run the risk of paying over $500 for an item and receiving it, but that's just me.

I wouldn't bid!

The seller sold me an item costing me almost $200 which she didnt send me for THREE months... and then also failed to send along part of the item, which I had to fight tooth & nail to finally get. While she did eventually send me everything... it was a long and trying transaction that should have been effortless... esp when she was hounding me for the $ for the mere 24 hours she waitied to be paid.

People like that should be banned from selling ANYTHING.

This is the kind of thing I would throw caution to avoid.

Wait, how are these people even getting away with this??? Isn't it illegal to sell copyrighted demos?
The very thought that someone would get thousands of dollars for Stevie's unreleased recordings is so wrong... both to Stevie and her fans. If they're going to circulate, Stevie should profit or no one at all.

They are getting away with it because EBAY SUCKS!

Ill tell you something I did...

This one seller was BLATANTLY selling TISL boots from Stevie's tour over and over. For something like $20++ PER show. That's a lot when it only costs say $3.00 for material maybe $2.00 in time. This guy was profiting over and over... eventually I was disgusted with him and turned him in. I kept turning him in over and over, for MONTHS. Seriously...eBay SUCKS. They couldnt get it together to stop the guy, and literally it went on for months. The guy probably made several GRAND.

So finally, they shut him down.

But lo and behold... a new seller was created selling the SAME SH*T with the SAME formats! I so waved a red flag to Ebay, saying "hey this is the same seller" but it went on DEAF ears! They basically told ME to "prove it". HELLO???!!! He's selling illegal boots to begin with, and its OBVIOUS it was the same person. So, I gave up. What can you do? Eventually though, im not sure how, the person was shut down. As far as I can tell, they have not resurfaced.

Anyway, bottom line, I agree with you 100% and ebay SUCKS!
