| I was thinking about maybe buying some of the singles on ebay or something. What do you think is a reasonable price for Travis singles? For example I saw a copy of Why Does It Always Rain On Me for about 6$, is that normal or too expensive? |

| It depends on the single. Singles from GF are definitely worth a few pounds each whereas you're likely to pay pennies for the TMW era singles. If you're not in a hurry then check the prices from time to time and buy when you see it cheap. I've collected almost all the singles over the past year, I've probably spent less than £20, not including postage. Good luck collecting! |

Hi Alex
I've just bought all the GF singles off Amazon from a seller called Olympusmusic and the prices varied from one pound to a very expensive amount that I paid for AIWDIR. Shop around because there are some bargains out there! |

Lucky!! I've got 4 singles, I think. And they were all very expensive xD, except for Coming Around, but that's because I got it from a cool boardie friend :o). |

Which one do you have? I've got Flowers In The Window with No Cigar. That's my only Travis single, bought it for 1.5$ a while ago :P
I'm having a look at ebay atm, but things look pretty expensive. 20-40$ for a GF single... Guys I'm a fan, but I'm not made of gold :( |

| The vinyl versions of singles from TMH, and also single of Coming Around are pretty rare and go for quite a lot of cash - have seen Driftwood go for £25. Best of luck with your challenge! I'm doing the same with vinyl versions of the albums. TMH is ridiculously expensive tho! |

There's no way you need to pay that much. Are you on eBay UK or eBay Sweden? (is there even an eBay Sweden? :S) On British eBay there's a lot of Travis singles available at the moment. I reckon you could get each single including postage to Sweden for under $5. Just be patient :) Try and find a seller who has a good selection of singles then you can save on postage. Oh, and I'd appreciate it if you let me buy the ones I'm missing first ;)
Good luck Kristy! I'm on 32 CDs, hopefully it won't be long til I've got them all. I'm not that worried about vinyls, thankfully! |
