Who has ever had a big slap from ebay ? For listing a ummmm you know what !

[Rob Dean]

Yep ME , 2 rare items taken off as per instruction of 'The Beach Boys/BRI- Brother Records Inc' BLIMEY  - I must be one of the few unlucky folk , as it doesn't take long to find RARE items on ebay does it ?

Shame as there were a large number of people 'watching' one of the said items.

Lesson learnt me lord 

[Mikie]

I remember when you could buy/sell bootlegs on Ebay. They cracked down on it quite a few years ago.

Rob, I assume that those were the 'rare' items in question that BRI and/or the RIAA didn't care for. Can't see them removing any other rare items, unless it was proprietary or illicit propaganda or derogatory in some way towards the band or a member of the band. Like Murry's glass eye or the newspaper that Brian crapped on or some damn thing....

[drbeachboy]

Mikie, as big of a fan that I am, I don't think that newspaper would ever become part of my collection.

[Rob Dean]

Na , I sold the glass eye (well a copy of) on ebay a few years ago

Well one was quite common (ish) (of which you will have a few copies of) and one not so AND yes you would already have it (I am very sure) - Yes on ebay.co.uk but was/were listed worldwide

 I'm never certain how to tell if items are listed worldwide. I know when I list stuff, I include I'll sell to anyone /anywhere( why would ya?) except maybe to Russia/Italy, but I can't remember ever having trouble except once I think to Italy so long ago. 
Oops, sorry, anyway, I'm  certain I've found stuff listed on ebay UK that hasn't shown up on the US ebay, so I'm just wondering how that happens( not that you probably know)  but maybe EBay monitors this board?
Shame there's not a section on this board for selling stuff...

Don't laugh. Remember the 1 inch squares cut from bed sheets that the Beatles slept in?  And if it had a yellow stain on it, it garnered more money?

I never heard of those!  ( but I don't collect Beatles... )  Did you get any  yellow ones, Mikie?

That is a very valid point , and good idea ( but obviously not boots   )

Maybe a Trading Post Section , save the admin of it - Just people post links within it of what they have listed on ebay

Good thing you didn't post one of your own, you might get in deep doodoo

It's happened to me, many times.  I assume I'm on a watch list at this point.   

Now I list them on a site BRI doesn't police instead.

I've had um... 'grey area' stuff removed by ebay before.  Don't be worried about it, they just delete the thing and move on.  They won't penalize you or anything.  Sucks though because you lose out on what could have been a good sale!

[TheLazenby]

That sucks.

I bought the Brother Records "Smile" (with 'Here Comes De Honey Man') on eBay for $9.00 a few days ago.  XD

[37!ws]

Probably about ten years ago someone I might know put the vinyl version of Adult/Child (the one with a fat nude back on the back and the words "Brian's Back!" written on it) on eBay. This person got a notice a few days later that the auction was removed at the request of Brother, and they included the e-mail address of BRI in the notice, something like "surfkillers@some_domain_I_dont_remember_after_ten_years.com"...I know the "surfkillers" part was right though.

[bryand]

I know of "somebody" that had an ebay listing removed recently. There was an email address associated with BRI. A Google search by this person of this email address led to a user on this board that has been registered for years but never posted.

Big Brother is indeed watching!

Cool!  What's their user name?

[TheLazenby]

Ah.... THAT's why I can't find "Adult Child" on eBay.  I've been looking for an LP version like crazy.

Didn't stop a copy being sold in May 2012

wonder how long this 3 lp colored vinyl will last....

Why do they bother, how does an ebay sale of unreleased songs effect them.

[VanDykeParksAndRec]

About 4 months I had my Green SMiLE LP and Brian Loves You taken down after about 10 minutes.  Which is weird because I had seen countless others up for weeks.
