    im hoarding the sealed spindle i got of 50 of the buggers! I did ask the guy i traded with if he had or could getmore but apparently he cannot :( amazingly though he was going to sell them individually for about $8 a piece - doesnt say miuch for their cash value then but as for rarity they kick some ass!

    Hell i would never use WU! Horrible horrible way to deal...

    You got a good deal tho... You would be able to sell them for $10 each at least... make back $500 if not more... Not that you would want to but if something nice comes along and you need quick cash. Im sure we on the board would buy one if not two each! lol

    worked it out to roughly $4 per GD-R i paid lol thats pretty much bugger all.

    Im soooooo tempted toopen the spindle even more tepted to burn some crap on em but then the collector inside is saying keep em safe n sealed theyre worth more hehe. I fear 1 day i may surrender and break the seal :)

    I dont think i owuld sell them though! everyone's collection has to have something super special to make it stand out and 50 of them most definitely does make up for my lack of hardware or software!

    What's stopping you poping them open, burning a few Half Lifes and retiring? Also, wait a few weeks and you can sell PA too LOL. Serious question though, why don't people burn GD-r?

    No one has them to burn and if you do its pretty useless when you can burn cdrom... cheap and able to have as many errors as possible!

    Also you would want to keep your cds lovely and new! Like legit!

    I would burn GD-R If iknew for definite i could get more! :weedman:

    However, even if i did find more id still rather listen to the collector thoughs and keep em sealed and burn on my newly acquired stuff :Hangman:

    only problem is i need to find more before i am 100% willing to burn anything - and it wouldnt be right to burn 'fake' copies of games onto GD-R and sell em on (even worse writing in cd pen pA on the gd-r and selling the blank LOL)

    If you did have a blank and soemthign you wanted burning on it like a homebrew id be happy to burn it forppl though :supz:
