Just a quick update (11/30), I'm bringing this to a close this week, so PM me if you're interested.
I've listed a few odds and ends on eBay including some nice LP copies of Vauxhall and Southpaw as well as The Loop and Family Line French CDs:

More importantly, I'm going to hold a private auction for some ultra-rare items that I don't feel like posting publicly on eBay. Some are from my own collection and others I'm selling by proxy via a friend. All the items have been well kept and are in pristine condition.
If you're interested in any of the items, PM and let me know your offered price. If you need more details on anything, just ask. I've listed minimum offer prices for each item, which is the absolute lowest price I'd consider selling each item for.
I may add to the list, but for now here's the list of items currently offered:
Vauxhall and I UK Test Pressing (white label, black sleeve) – Minimum offer of $500
That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore 7" Test Pressing (w/ Live MIM) – Minimum offer of $500
William It Was Really Nothing Italian Mispressed 12" (with HISN outtake) - Minimum offer of $500
Reel Around The Fountain 7" Test Pressing – Minimum offer of $1,500
Hand In Glove 7" Negative Sleeve (yes, that one) – Minimum offer of $3,000
Morrissey Reference CDs
These are extremely rare. Rhino planned a series of re-issues to coincide with the release of You Are The Quarry in 2004. All of Morrissey's prior albums were fully remastered and the plan was to release extra tracks along with each album. These extra tracks ranged from unreleased songs to alternate versions and alternate mixes.
Of course these releases never saw the light of day and only exist now in the form of in-house reference CDs (of which only several were pressed). Very few people are privy to them. These CDs are labeled as "Internal Review Copies" that were meant for those working on the reissues.
It goes without saying that these discs are exceedingly rare and you're unlikely to see them offered for sale again. Some have two discs, and some have just a single disc:
Bona Drag – 2004 Remaster with bonus tracks – Minimum offer $500
Your Arsenal - 2004 Remaster with bonus tracks - Minimum offer $2,000
Vauxhall and I - 2004 Remaster with bonus tracks - Minimum offer $2,000
Southpaw Grammar - 2004 Remaster with bonus tracks - Minimum offer $1,000
Aside from the bonus tracks, it's my personal opinion that the remastering is the real star of these discs. Particularly for Arsenal and Vauxhall, two releases that have always sounded dull and anemic to me in terms of mastering. Vauxhall especially shines as all the faults of that initial release are corrected, it sounds fantastic. The mastering of Bona Drag is different from both the original release and the 2010 remaster, while Southpaw sounds identical to the 2009 re-issue (but with the original running order). PM me for details about the bonus tracks, I won't be listing them here.
PM me to make an offer and ask for more details. Serious offers only. I don't know how long I'll run the private auction just yet, it will depend on the kind of offers I receive. Please don't waste my time asking questions if you have no intention of making an offer.
Thanks,
Tom
