Subject: car decals ?
Anybody know a place online to find good 80's stickers?? like Erasure and OMD, etc...i can't find anything beyond korn (ewwwwwwwwww). Just a couple Depeche Mode stickers and that's about it...if anyone can help me that'd be great :)
Subject: Re: car decals ?
Yes! Someone else who dislikes Korn! You wouldn't believe the looks I get at work when I say I don't like them, or their ilk...
Unfortunately, I know of no place at all where you can find them. I'd like to find some myself. Just a good Def Leppard one... or two... Dozen.
Subject: Re: car decals ?
I dislike Korn because, in my opinion, they're just another one of those bands who wanna get themselves noticed for fear of losing money... I certainly never paid any attention to them.
Subject: Re: car decals ?
I got a Duran Duran bumper sticker of off ebay (circa 1984).. I'd say just go to ebay and look for your favorite group
I liked Korn's "Issues".. and "Got the Life" from their previous album.. outside of that, most of their rap-rock stuff is kinda boring..
Subject: Re: car decals ?
I don't like "Korn" either. :P
I'll rant for a moment... I apologize in advance...
E-bay has been too much of a bad experience for me. Everytime I begin to bid on something, it continues to increase into ridiculous amounts of money. It's like all there is out there in E-bay-world sometimes is a pack of collectors willing to pay almost anything for an item. I guess I'm just not a collector. :-/
Ok. I'm done. ;D
Edited to add:
Oh, If anyone finds a place other than E-bay to get band, 80's stickers, let me know too....K?! :D

depends on what you're bidding on.. at the beginning of December I wanted a talking teddy bear from the movie A.I. and a company was placing them on ebay for Hasbro, and donating the money to charity. I got outbid every time, the retail on these things was $30, which I thought was a little high to begin with (though it does say something like 200 different phrases, and it's wicked cute, though not as grumpy as the bear in the movie).. I saw some of them going for $70 - $80.. I tried again a month later, and got one for the original offer price of $30...
on the other hand, the DD2 bumper sticker, I never had problems with.. it was $3, no one else bid on it, it closed and I got it.. I imagine millions of these things were made, and theres still alot of unsold ones.. personally, I don't know why I bought it, I hate putting stuff on my car.. ruins the resale value if it's still in good shape. Of course if you have a pow-wow car with lots of dents and rust, they help cover up the defects..

Thank you! I needed that - A positive experience to reflect upon. :) I may try the bidding game again someday.
