LRH Library for sale

[mod]This auction goes back up every few weeks (surprise, it's not selling!), and each time someone else finds it for the first time and posts about it. For the love of god, please use the search function. This is now the dumping grounds for all of those threads, and a place to shame those that cannot search.[/mod]
Did not find a thread on the subject, so here it is:

Anyone has $ 3.5 million ?

In case you don't want to have to go through exscn, there's the ebay link.

I love that it's buyer protected up to $2000.

Re: LRH Library for sale

Hey I'll throw in a couple of bucks.

The Co$ has got to be shitting bricks over this one.

Re: LRH Library for sale

Steve Fishman claimed to have the largest library outside of the CoS

Re: LRH Library for sale

Wasn't this just bought at a garage sale for $20?

Re: LRH Library for sale

Lolz.

This is a fund raising drive BY the COS - they are very short of cash at the moment, and 3.5 million would boost Davey's running away fund.

120 x Orgs times 3.5 million - lotsa jewgolds

Re: LRH Library for sale

I was just thinking the same thing, Davey's private stash up for sale. He just needs a little travelin' cash is all.

here is my favorite quote:

I am not sure if they noticed it was an extra $5,000 for shipping.

I guess who ever is trying to sell this doesn't know about wiki leaks.

Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library
World’s Largest Private Collection of Authentic LRH

Description
View attachment !BOVf-v!!Wk~$(KGrHgoH-DsEjlLl0BVjBJuIuDrWdw~~_1.JP

Scientology & Dianetics Library

28,426 Scientology and Dianetics lectures, bulletins, coursepacks, checksheets, books, periodicals, and many other publications.

The Library contains virtually every major title ever sold to the public. What is more, the Library holds hundreds of hours of recorded lectures and thousands of pages of written materials that have not been seen by the public for decades or have never been seen by the public. Many predate the Church of Scientology’s 1954 incorporation.

The Library’s emphasis is L. Ron Hubbard’s technical materials that were released during his lifetime in their original, unaltered form. These are, principally, lectures on reel-to-reel tapes, written technology on mimeographed pages, and other first edition publications.

Integral to the Library is its computerized database of all 28,426 items, complete with titles, dates of publication, index of each item’s physical location in the file drawers, and many more data.

This is not a haphazard mixture of random books and tapes or bootlegged downloads of the usual items. This is a bona fide Library of highly-organized, legally-acquired materials that were specifically sought out over a quarter-century. It is a Library of authentic LRH recordings and writings much greater than what is obtainable through the church, and factually containing millions of words on audiotape and in print that do not exist in the field, on the Internet, or anywhere else in the world except, perhaps, in church vaults.

Statistics

Recorded Lectures: 8,349; netting 2,120 titles

Written Issues: 57,862 pages of mimeographed HCO Bulletins, Policy Letters, and other issues in their original form; netting 14,574 titles

Books and Other Publications: 1,467

Packs: 886

Checksheets: 739

Periodicals: 3,141

Transcripts: 1,880 lecture titles

Payment and Shipping

Method of payment to be arranged.

The Library may be picked up or shipped anywhere in the world at actual shipping costs with no markup or handling charges. Please note: As shipping costs vary, depending on the method and destination, the domestic and international shipping costs given in this listing are approximations.

How much is it all together? 3,505,000 dollars. Jesus Christ! Has someone blown?

Some rich LRH Fan trying to get rid of this stuff before it becomes worthless?

Re: Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

Ollie?

Re: Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

It is already worthless and has always been.

Re: Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

Shit is bananas, yo. Someone pointed out it'd be interesting if a university nabbed these up, but studying cults hasn't been a priority in sociology departments since (oddly enough) Scientology and CAN. If Scientology buys them just to destroy them that's at least $3.5m less for Scientology, which isn't too bad.

Re: Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

They should come up with a better photo if they expect someone to pay $3.5 Million. Can't they at least push the chair out of the way?

FFL

Re: Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

For that price they'd better include the chair...lol

Re: Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

Gah, my guesses on who is selling this:

Davey boy
Tommy boy
Ravolting
Bart Simpson
Greta and husband

I mean how many scilons could actually afford all that crap?

Give Dekker that pic, so he can run a scan on it.
(concentrate on the bust area)

Re: Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

That looks like an original edition of Dianetics

Re: Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

Someday, I will own a bust of LRH that had once been displayed proudly in an org...

This is not that day.

Re: Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

I would not mind owning a bust of LRH. It would look good alongside my bust of Lenin. Birds of a feather, etc.

Re: Ebay: L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library

This guy tried to sell this shit years ago on eBay and I suspect the same is true today. NOBODY WANTS TO BUY WHAT HE'S SELLIN'

Times must be tough huh? The seller (CO$ probably) is selling an intesive LRH library for $3,500,000. I guess that super building in clearwater is more expensive then thought. Anyone wanna get an Anonymous collection together?

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

I think there was already a thread on this a month ago. I guess it comes as no surprise that it wasn't sold.

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

Who would ever spend that much for LRH garbage?

/r/ negative reviews. A LOT of them.

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

6 offers already. Those poor souls. I'd offer the lint in my pocket for it because I'm low on firewood at home, but that price, ick. Price gouging, much?

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

shouldn't they pay us to take this crap away?

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

There were six "offers," all declined. My guess is that they were all less than one buck.

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

The ebay advert text says "Copyright CEC". Is this a hint to whoever placed the ad? What/who is CEC? Googling provided nothing obvious.

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

Fake accounts and bid it up as high as eBay goes...?
Not that I would ever condone such action.

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

Could it be Council of European Churches??? Surely some christian churches might have kept an eye on LRH and cult?? Maybe even German officials pooled LRH writings?

Welcome to Trondheim
"CEC was founded in 1959 and has offices in Geneva, Brussels and Strasbourg."

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

It almost has to be someone who was in the church. Who else would be able to get copies of 14,574 letters and bulletins? Either that or he had some very useful inside leaks.

How about the Clear Expansion Committee?

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

I'd love to see those letters and bulletins<3

Re: Ebay - LRH Library

Go pose for playboy and raise the $3.5M to buy those letters.

$3.5 million for Scientology and Dianetics collection?!

That's right folks, 3½ million dollars. Plus $5,000 post and packing.

L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library - eBay (item 230330868187 end time May-12-09 00:01:20 PDT)

Wouldn't it be terrible if he got loads of offers from anons for 50 cents? ("I think you'll find this is a more accurate valuation of Hubbard's material")

(Sorry if this was posted already)

Maybe we should all chip in and buy it! (Assuming anonymous are over 9,000, that's less than $400 each!)

re: Complete Hubbard library on eBay

I think it's been on before, but obviously not going to sell easily at that sort of price.

The question, however, that crosses my mind is if someone has spent all that time and effort accumulating the stuff, why sell it?

Why not simply "donate" it to Scientology? Or is the money more important than a massive collection containing some previously unreleased or unavailable stuff which the cult itself might not have?

After all, since they're planning on opening another LRH Museum near Gold Base, I'd have thought this would have been a perfect donation to that.

Or is there some more nefarious purpose to all this?

Re: Complete Hubbard library on eBay

Perhaps they are trying to get some of their money back that they blew on the garbage.
