I saw these and decided to get back on the forums: i'm not sure if there has already been a thread on these or whatever but i decided to ask anyway.
Are thse real:

This one is the first Offspring album LP

This one is the I'll Be Waiting single LP
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MONSTER-RARITY-THE-OFFSPRING-7-ILL-BE-WAITING_W0QQitemZ300019577530QQihZ020QQcategoryZ27 351QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The guy sellin also says he's sellin a Baghdad LP but im not that bothered about that:P

To me they look convincing but i thought that i would just make sure with them being so rare and all.

P.S. CAN ANYONE OFFER ME A ROUGH SUM OF WHAT THESE MIGHT BE WORTH

They look like the real deal to me. I have both those releases. The only thing I'd be skeptical of is that they said the sleeve for I'll Be Waiting is in 'great condition'--they're all falling apart and coming unglued nowadays because they were glued by hand using glue sticks 20 years ago.

Look real to me i had them both once but i sold them.

I think the Offspring album was first pressed on cargo records if i remeber rightly

Nope, Nemesis.

Well, it says "Manufactured & Distributed by Cargo Records" on the back. But there's also the Nemesis thingy.

Weird... I just realised that the dude on the cover really looks like Steven Tyler. Haven't noticed that before, haha.

Goddammit, I wish I had money...

I would kill to get my hands on either of those. The Baghdad EP would be nice, too...

Ha, got that I'll Be Waiting 7". Now that I have Baghdad clear wax (300 copies) and that one (500 copies), I'm satisfied.

Do people actually play these? I mean the original Album was sold for more than the single.

I played mine once each, just long enough to record them to cassette so I can listen to them all I want that way and not wear into the wax itself. They just sit around looking pretty now. :)

A funny story about how another Finn got his I'll Be Waiting 7"... he bought it from a guy claiming to be an old neighbourhood friend of the band, which he apparently was. He said that he still remember the band building up those vinyls in their garage. Well, the vinyl he got was a master copy so that there are only 5-10 first copies of the vinyl and all the rest are copies of them. The guy had unbelieveble OC stuff to sell he told me, he needed some money for their new house with his wife and also planned to buy a washing machine and a drier for her, hah. He promised to inform my buddy about an unopened Self Titled vinyl, which still has the "vinyl-set" in it, when he's ready to sell it. Also he told that he had some super rare garage demos but he has lost them now, too bad.

They look legit to me. The 7" may or may not be a first pressing. It depends on how well the cover is held together. As stated before, the band had a gluing party, where they bought booze and gluesticks and inited a bunch of people over to glue the covers together.

this isn't an attempt to bump my thread or anything, but what happenes to the value of these records (not talking pre-rereleased times)
