jazzhound Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 after logging on to Popsike I got a message I had to subscribe to get any more access. Now how am I supposed to pay when i spent all my extra cash on vinyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WD45 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 How very 1999. Fewer and fewer sites have pay gateways anymore. There are other ways to bring in the dough. What a silly move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel1969 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Tip : When i log with my old Safari or (very old) Internet Explorer version, Popsike never ask me to pay...you should try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hmm - I just tried it and it still seems to be free too. So far.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereojack Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 It may have to do with how often you use it. If you use it infrequently, they may let you pass, but if you keep coming back, then they ask for a subscription. I find it to be a valuable resource, so I paid the fee.

That means that I am no more addicted to compulsive vinyl shopping. :party: I deserve a present for it. I have to look for that damn Piper At The Gates Of Dawn mono NM first pressing...as present I mean. edit: something like this one http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?...nr=290034218502 Edited February 2, 2008 by porcy62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASNL77 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hmm - I just tried it and it still seems to be free too. So far.. Same here. Same here. No sign of a message asking me to pay for anything. I only use it occasionally. This is a very useful site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereojack Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Popsike is a modern on line price guide. Unlike the old print guides, this one is based entirely on actual Ebay sales, so it can be considered more reliable than the highly fictional price guides of the past.

clifford_thornton Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 And it's a reliable measure of the insanity of constantly increasing prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmck Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) Hi, new member here. will introduce myself in a bit, but just wanted to add to this thread. to get around the "popsike asking you for money" problem, clear your popsike cookies. for the less tech-savvy, this will mean that popsike will "see" you as a new person, and not ask for payment. it shoudl be easy to do in whatever browser you use (i'm on a mac, using safari, and all i do is go to safari>preferences>security>show cookies, then delete the ones i don't want any more. hi again.

(no idea of technical stuff on my side) so far so good, i still have to log in to popsike, but by clearing the cookies, i don't get the "give us your money" message any more. every time i log in, it will drop a cookie on my computer, so every week (or thereabouts) i clear the popsike ones out.

Chalupa Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I got in the site no problem. Question - How often do they update/add new auctions?? I just did a search for BYG and the last auction that they added was back from November. There have been probably 100 BYG's sold since then on ebay.

clifford_thornton Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 BYGs are plummeting in price - not worth listing 'em as "rare" at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartjewkes Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi all, new here after defecting from AAJ. Just thought I'd say cheers for pointing me to this excellent site, will let me keep an eye on the price of the few rarities that I own. Nothing special though, no holy grails yet!
