firstofone Posted July 20, 2014 at 06:53 AM Posted July 20, 2014 at 06:53 AM Hi guys, I am a Celine collector since 1996 and possess a quite massive collection of Celine cd's, lp's, posters, promo boxes, rarities etc. Some items - I believe - are really rare, some are less rare and some are just common. Because I am not into collecting Celine records any longer I am selling it piece by piece on eBay. I already have put up for auction several of my cd's on eBay over the last couple of days. Below you can find a direct link to the pages at hand. None of these auctions have ended yet at the time I write this entry. I will regularly inform you of links to fresh Celine eBay auctions here at the forum so you can check out what Celine items are behind them. In case you are interested in an item of course you are free to join the bidding. My auctions are open to anyone in the world and I will ship worldwide. I always try to accompany an auction with as many photos for you to consult: because pictures tend to say more than a thousand words. In that way you can also be absolutely sure what you might be buying. I will open my auctions generally at 1 Euro (equal to about 1,35 USDollar). So, online NOW - july 20th: Dion Celine, If You Asked Me To - Love You Blind CD Single AUSTRALIA:http://www.benl.ebay...984.m1555.l2649 Dion Celine, Treat Her Like A Lady PROMO CD - One track CD:http://www.benl.ebay...984.m1555.l2649 Dion Celine, Think Twice CD Single - Sony Music JAPAN:http://www.benl.ebay...984.m1555.l2649 Dion Celine, 2003 FAITH PROMO CD - One track CD:http://www.benl.ebay...984.m1555.l2649 Dion Celine, Treat Her Like A Lady CD single - three track CD:http://www.benl.ebay...984.m1555.l2649 Dion Celine, Next Plane Out CD single - three track CD - AUSTRALIA:http://www.benl.ebay...984.m1555.l2649 That's it for now. If you have any questions, requests, or are you looking for (missing) a specific Celine item, do not hesitate to contact me. Please do so by e-mail. My direct e-mail address is: veilingbox@gmail.com. Cheers, - Dieter 3 "For me, Celine Dion is not the greatest singer in the world just because of her music, I tend to like her equally for the unparalleled amount of bridges she spans as one singer between people all over the globe." - DVDL
firstofone Posted July 26, 2014 at 08:13 AM Author Posted July 26, 2014 at 08:13 AM Hi guys, I just put up for auction on eBay another three Celine CD's. As promised I will give you a handy overview of the auction links. Dion Celine, Je Danse Dans Ma Tête - Columbia single - 1991 - 3-INCH CDhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141358264378?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649(Why they ever decided to put this song on a mini CD carrier beats me because it is such a great song … ) Dion Celine, Water From The Moon - EPIC PROMO CD - One trackhttp://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=141358280505 Dion Celine, MEXICO PROMO CD I Drove All Night - Speedometer behind CD !http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=141358291285(Yes, mind the speedometer hidden underneath the CD itself…) Apart from this I want to add a message - with an apologize:I get a lot of questions to look for specific CD's in my collection. First of all, thank you for your interest. Secondly, I have to apologize I can't do this the easy way. Throughout the 18 years I collect Celine items I never took the time to organize my collection. Also now, auctioning them, I do not have the time for that. So what happens when I want to throw a CD on eBay is that I simply pick the first CD in sight and use this as your potential bait. As a result I do not auction my Celine CD's in a chronologic way or, using other words, in the order that they were released over the years. In case you sent (send) me a message asking for a specific CD that I happen to encounter I will happily inform you of my finding. Again, sorry for this. I hope you can understand. Happy eBaying, - Dieter "For me, Celine Dion is not the greatest singer in the world just because of her music, I tend to like her equally for the unparalleled amount of bridges she spans as one singer between people all over the globe." - DVDL
firstofone Posted July 27, 2014 at 07:04 AM Author Posted July 27, 2014 at 07:04 AM Hi guys, Yesterday I learned about a unofficial Celine website which catalogues her albums, singles, promo's, tributes etc. that have been released during the course of her career. Actually I randomly clicked on one of the persons nickname who visited this entry page and just followed a link without much thinking, which happens more often… It turned to be a very educational visit for me and to be honest I was astounded by the work that presented itself on my screen. Not only you get an overview of all the releases. Also, on this website seemingly all Celines music material has been given a marker that indicates how difficult it is to find a specific item. These are those markers which I am going to mention from now on when opening an auction:http://www.powerofthemusic.com/images/webbody/starguide.jpg So please understand I am not going to sell a jewel for 1 euro anymore… PS. Thank you www.powerofthemusic.com. Must have been an tremendous work putting your website together. Hope I can help you fill in some blanks! Byebye, - Dieter "For me, Celine Dion is not the greatest singer in the world just because of her music, I tend to like her equally for the unparalleled amount of bridges she spans as one singer between people all over the globe." - DVDL

celine4evauk Posted August 2, 2014 at 09:53 PM Posted August 2, 2014 at 09:53 PM I've always believed things are only worth what people are willing to pay. Collectors are the people who bump prices up, bidding wars! Been in a few of them! Good luck with your auctions!
powerofceline Posted August 3, 2014 at 06:17 AM Posted August 3, 2014 at 06:17 AM I've always believed things are only worth what people are willing to pay. Collectors are the people who bump prices up, bidding wars! Been in a few of them! Good luck with your auctions! You are indeed correct, an item is always only worth what the last person buying it decided to pay for it. Sure then there are those items in the Celine Discography that are more rare than other items. But yes, it's us the collectors that decide what something is worth.

Sure then there are those items in the Celine Discography that are more rare than other items. But yes, it's us the collectors that decide what something is worth. Yes you're right. I look back at the things I've bought. Some I think I think why did I pay that much! But some I think hell yeah, worth every penny lol. That's the power of Celine! 1
firstofone Posted August 15, 2014 at 05:39 AM Author Posted August 15, 2014 at 05:39 AM Hi there, Pfieuw! It's been a couple of days since I last logged in on the forum. It is a great relief to notice that I am not completely gunned down out here. And that I feared (staying honest…). Why ? Well… As you know I found this website which gives me accurate information about the 'rareness factor' (let's name it the X factor…) of a certain Celine CD (or cassette, LP, …). In the meanwhile I also found a second site that gives me another indication, that of current 'standard' prices of Celine objects. So I started comparing the X factor vs. the 'financial factor' of a Celine object before putting it up on eBay. Talking about checking my sources now @ Celine Freak. Also on eBay, thank you to the people who sent me such nice, surprisingly positive messages. Do I love fellow Celine fans ? Yes, I do! With some of you I am talking already about other things than just Celine. I guess we were meant to mingle and bound (does sound weird…). What I am trying to say, I remember writing that it was my intention to start an auction from 1 euro. Originally it really was, but like someone (@ celine4evauk) said in her message above, I know how much (sometimes to be taken literally) money I spent on some Celine CD's in the past and then I realize in a rational way I can't be that stupid to let them go again for a lot less. However, before putting up an item for auction, I now always check the background of a CD (or other Celine item) so I know my pricing is morally justified! I hope that does explain the deviation from my original post. So here is an updated list of my ongoing auctions. Feel free to browse of course… Dion Celine, My Heart Will Go On - MEXICO - PROMO CD - ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FINDhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141372917060?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, Immensité - COLUMBIA PROMO CD - One track CD - FRANCEhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141375664307?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, The Last To Know - EPIC PROMO CD - USA - Two track CDhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141373158195?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, Sola Otra Vez - EPIC PROMO CD - MEXICO - Three track CDhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141372971311?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, Water From The Moon - EPIC PROMO CD - USA - One trackhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141372259623?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649(Second copy I have…) Dion Celine, A Paris - COLUMBIA PROMO CD - One track CD - FRANCEhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141375706029?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, UNISON 1990 UK - BOX SET - ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - 24 yrs oldhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141374994460?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - SPAIN PROMO CD - COLUMBIA 1trhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141375745032?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, Love Can Move Mountains - EPIC PROMO CD - USA - 2 tracks - Sticker!http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141376063335?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, MEXICO PROMO CD I Drove All Night - Speedometer behind CD !http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141371825516?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, Treat Her Like A Lady - MEXICO - EPIC PROMO RELEASE - One trackhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141376953548?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, Treat Her Like A Lady CD single - COLUMBIA three track CDhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141371826954?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Dion Celine, Where Does My Heart Beat Now CASSETTE single - UK - EPIC - 2 trackshttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141374970622?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649(Buy now option…) Dion Celine, Immortality - EPIC SINGLE CD - Incl Where Is The Love - JAPANhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141374978396?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649(Buy now option…) Dion Celine, That's The Way It Is - COLUMBIA PROMO CD - Europe market - 1 trackhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141374984132?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649(Buy now option…) Dion Celine, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, UK EPIC PROMO CD - ONE TRACKhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141374988854?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649(Buy now option…) Dion Celine, Where Does My Heart Beat Now CASSETTE single - HOLLAND - COLUMBIAhttp://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/141375000134?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649(Buy now option…) That's it for now.
