Possibly a printing error. Ebay prices do fluctuate. WTILS (on CD) was down to around £30 not that long ago (and there were at least two at about £40 buy it now) but now seems to have back up to around £60. My Eternity Project One CD sold for just under £80 about a month ago. PT5 remix seems constant at around thirty - although WTILS (on vinyl) can fluctuate between £20 and £50 - don't sell yourself short. Oh, and the V/A "Warehouse Raves 4" CD (with the Pure Trance WTIL and 3 AM full mix on it) can sometimes go for around £35 (although I think this is also because of an obscure FSOL track on it as well). Ebay really DOES sort out the rarities from the merely little-selling. KSTJ CD single now settles at around £25, as does the Tardis CDV. However, I haven't seen a "No More Tears" 2-track promo for a while. Mine sold for around £80 back in December 2005. I must admit, out of all the KLF stuff I've sold, that's probably the only one I regret selling. :-( But those nay sayers can stop being smug - it's my only regret! :-P Space on CD can go from £40 to £70, WFTROMu about £50, and sometimes even the ordinary Stadium House and beyond singles can do for £5 each. I'm currently selling a WTIL KLF004CD on Ebay. I'll be interested to see how much it goes for - as there doesn't seem to be another one listed at the moment, either currently or in completed items In conclusion, I'd say the real rarities, which cause bidding wars and fuss, are a lot less in number than they used to be. But they'd include the 1987 cassette (although there was someone trying to sell one without its case for £10 - which NEVER sold, as far as I know); the Australian "History of the JAMs" CD; the Swiss "Shag Times" CD (how many of these are listed and the Swiss element is never mentioned?); a genuine White Room 1989 promo cassette; KLF010RR; Love Trance (obviously); KLF8T (obviously); ETERNA 1 (obviously); Eternity Project 1 CD; No More Tears French promo CD; some coloured vinyl (which sometimes seems to go for over £100) and White Room and The Work 1999 promo videos. And maybe the Marathon Love Park Orbital 3" CD and the Coma Records WTIL CD single with the Primal Mix on it - but I'm not sure either of them actually exist. If anyone thinks they know of any other real, pistols-at-dawn bidding war rarities, please tell! John

Anyone know how well KLF stuff is selling on ebay lately? It definitely seems a bit up and down over time but I haven't checked lately! I think slowly people realise just how many copies there are around of a lot of the singles and it gradually devalues them as they pop up on ebay but I was hopng to just sell a couple of rarer items, probably the Waiting for the Rites of Mu CD and my Space promo with pic sleeve, KLF generic die-cut inner sleeve and press release.
Also possibly my What Time Is Love Story LP but I guess that wouldn't make much over 20 quid. Regarding this though has anyone noticed how most copies, if not all, have a slightly discoloured 'band' running down the right hand side of the front cover, a few cm wide? It is almost as if there was a Japanese-style obi strip so the band (or the rest of the sleeve, I don't have it to hand now) faded slightly. I thought it was only mine but photos of every copy i have seen on ebay show the same!
