Bath Banker zine on Ebay

A ridiculously rare copy of Russell's Bath Banker fanzine has just sold on Ebay.

It's issue 1 from 1980 and Pulp are mentioned - so presumably this would be the once with the review of the first Leadmill concert. I'm kicking myself for missing it as it just never comes up. Was anyone from here the lucky winner?

"Just sold". Gah, how frustrating! I do have some Pulp alerts on ebay, but hadn't thought of putting one in for this!

I'd have paid £13 for it, anyway. Someone could try getting in touch with the seller and asking the buyer if we could get a scan of the relevant article...?

I'm surprised it went so cheap! Shame we all hadn't seen it earlier

Unrelated but THIS is one hell of an auction, 'unused' of course : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUEDE-1996-COMING-UP-PROMO-CONDOM-BLUR-OASIS-PULP-BRITPOP-/200776962109?pt=UK_Records&hash=item2ebf3d503d#ht_500wt_1202

Have contacted seller who has passed my details onto the French buyer...

Hope you don't mind me posting but I was asking someone I know what this fanzine was worth and he directed me here. I've just listed my copy on eBay. So if anyone else is still after it now's your chance

Me and my big mouth! Obviously as a Russell fanatic I'm very keen to get this, within certain limits. I would, of course, scan the zine for the wiki. Not sure that's enough to persuade anyone else not to bid tho! Fluttery eyes? Or pistols at dawn with Sturdy?

If you want to pay for it, then scan it so I can read it without paying a penny, then, yes, that sounds like a very good deal from my end.

36 quid and three quarters of an hour left. Is it none of us then? Amazing artefact but I'm not sure how much of it would be of interest to even most of us anoraks. If a few of us chipped-in we could get it.

Surely something like this could be capitalised on with the use of a photocopier? Any investor would be able to make their money back. Is that not obvious or am I just evil?!

Eamonn, we should have chipped in, yeah. Could have then scanned it and resold it. Shame we didn't think beforehand!

Having said that, maybe someone on here did get it?

Whoever won it is currently bidding on 95 other items! Wow!

Maybe it's a shop or something...?

 I noticed that - they seem to be bidding on loads of Britpop /  new-wave vinyl. 8420 transactions - looks like a shop to me (or just a very, very rich person). 

I hope the person who sold the first fanzine for £13.39 doesn't hear about how much this one sold for

Why would a shop want it tho? Surely they could only sell it for *less* money in a store than on ebay?

Have found the person who bought the zine and have asked nicely for review transcript. Fingers crossed!

A transcript? Surely a scan would be less trouble all round. I suppose he wants to retain his resale value. Or something.

I suggested t'script, scan or p'copy! Offered to pay for a scan even! The buyer's from Greece and buys loads of Sheff post-punk stuff.
