Hello, i decided to pass on this information i heard at work about a particular ABBA picture disc. The picture disc “One Man One Woman/Eagle” (tawain origin), which is one of ABBAs rarest picture disc has just got rarer. Only 15 were made & customer at work who is a regular had 7 of these picture discs is his collection. 6 days ago his entire ABBA collection was destroyed in a fire, these picture discs included. There now only remains 8 of these discs left, so if you own one, look after it, it may be worth something one day.

ABBA Dolls on eBay
An boxed and “unopened” Frida doll ! (no pic) – starting bid: £200, The Hunter says: This is alot to pay for a doll, however if you
wanted it, the seller has had one negative responce, note that this was the seller buying from someone else. You should secure
the doll if you want to pay the £200, if you do want to, contact the seller first, no insurance postage is offered. I would not pay as
much as £200, the most I have payed is £110 for Agnetha in excellent con box and still tied in the box.

| Story from: Mark |
| Location: England |
| One of my best bargains came last year. I was early for work due to the unreliable bus service, so to kill time I had a look round some of the shops in town, I ended up in all the charity shops, skimmed through the LPs and singles, no ABBA though, but in the books, something caught my eye. It was a thin black spine which read “ABBA” in white letters. I had a look and it was the St. Michael (M&S) version of the John Tobler book which started as “For The Record” and later developed into “Gold – The Complete Story”. I knew trhis was rare, I had seen it on eBay go for £15 and then some, the price was 75p but as I was feeling charitable, I gave £2 – still a great bargain though ! |
| Thanks for sharing that Mark, that book is indeed rare. May I also congratulate you on being the first to submit a story here. Just proves there are lots of bargains out there! – The Hunter – |
| Story from: Michael |
| Location: Australia |
| “Ah-ha” Rather recently I bought the picture sleeved single (Brisbane/Australia) of Mexican 7″ release of KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU. It caught my eye because of the way the B-side was titled as HAPPY HAWAII (WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE ME), giving you the impression it was long subtitled song. Obviously some sort of confusion about two tracks embarrassingly (at the time) presented itself. |
| Thanks for your story Michael. Keep looking for those bargains. – The Hunter – |
| Story from: Barb |
| Location: Arizona, USA |
| I have been a fan since 1974, as a young american living in Scotland. I have probably 30 or 40 cd’s alone (many bootlegs), posters, checkbook covers, t-shirts, a denim vest from sweden with a group picture on the back, scrabooks and articles galore, sheet music, books, videos etc. However i have 2 favorites: in 1998 i worked as a supervisor for Barnes & Noble bookstores here in Phoenix. We were able to order any books available in print at a huge discount. I was able to casually order the book ABBA:The complete recording sessions even though it was out of print, as one of our suppliers had an extra copy in the warehouse. I bought it for a mere $6, now worth alot more on Ebay i’ve noticed! I also finally got my ABBA tattoo, it’s the multi-colored ABBA logo on my lower back, with my nickname “Dancing Queen” in script below. its a little blurry and not as colorful as it was when i first got it as it faded quickly, but i was able to show it to Frida in February 2002 at the premier of Mamma Mia in Vegas, i attended the private party premier and met her there. She signed a Mamma Mia program and commented on my tattoo!!! ah, memories! |
| Thank you for your story Barb, a tatoo, ouch!, hope it didn’t hurt too much ! – The Hunter – |
