I just needed to tell someone.... Bought a rare Of Stone Wind and Pillor shirt off ebay recently - less than 20 were ever printed world wide. Turns out the seller was John Haughm. I asked him if he could sign it and I would mount it in a frame as a piece of memorabilia.... He said, 'how about I get the whole band to sign it'. Fuck I rock. |

To say that I'm just a little chuffed would be an understatement. I also asked him to write a profound statement similar to those found on the back of the Mantle and Ashes shirts ie. 'we are the wounds' and 'the god of man is a failure' but from the Of Stone... EP. I intend to mount it in a glass case with album artwork adorning the four corners and a plaque at the bottom. When I have a house with a pool room I shall put it there. |

Like For Example: Rottrevore - Iniquitous-------->got this for 15 euros in a bm distro---Cost about USD225 on ebay Expulsion - A bitter twist of fate---->got this for about 10usd----Seldom on Ebay so i do not know its value.. Epitaph- Seeming Salvation----> 65usd on ebay-----Highest i have seen is 255 usd Sadistic Intent 2 MCDs----->Traded against a normal cd from a distro--Usually about 50 euros each i think Merciless-The Awakening(DSP)--->Also traded a regular cd for it..--->120 euros?? So be patient and not pay absurd money for it! I bought Rottrevore on ebay for something like 80 usd... A few weeks later I found a mint copy of the same album at my local second hand store for something like 10 usd. Thankfully I could trade one for another highly wanted cd of mine - Desire 'Infinity...' (thanks Zola!!!) - The Desire cd is also being sold at a very high price on ebay. I also got the Expulsion mcd years ago very, very cheap. Now it seems to be a highly sought after cd and is sold for..I don't know, something up there....Strange, since it absolutely sounds like shit haha. There are few cds I would pay a shit load for (meaning: around 100 usd). One would be the cd version of Convulse 'World without God'. And Iniquity demos, of course. |

Check these ones : http://cgi.ebay.com/Arch-Enemy-ASMODINA ... dZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Arch-Enemy-ASMODINA ... dZViewItem I was lucky with the full length: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=024 Funny, when I got a report that this seller listed another stuff from Asmodina, the actual price was 15 usd, I decided to put 16 just to keep it tracked in myebay, and I got an error message, that I have to put more than 51 USD 
LOL |

To my knowledge the LP goes for 25 USD or around that, maybe 40 if it's in excellent condition. The CD version generates insane bids, usually ends after 200 USD. I'd like to own the real pressing of that

Yep, that was mine spare copy! I hope you enjoy that! It takes 3 years to find my first copy, and then I found 2 more in the next one.

I'd like to get a copy of that as well, but the rarities often just rarities, and really worthless to listen more than 1 time...

Convulse never existed on CD, that version is just a boot, nothing more nothing less... The same goes for the Excruciate/Epitaph split CD (=>Alden!) Many CDs/LPs/EPs just waiting for a label to get re-released again. Effigy Rec., Drowned Prod., Thrash Rec., the list is endless...

All 3 tracks are perfect Swedish two-beat Döds Metal with a very slight melodic edge. The following 2 CDs kinds lost that spirit, even if Overflow featured the best song from the MCD, however not as good as on the MCD. got my copy for 75 Norwegian krones (9 Euros) 4 years ago in a 2nd hand shop. emperor_zola wrote: Convulse never existed on CD, that version is just a boot, nothing more nothing less...

Instead of releasing new/promising bands, the record labels (Metal Mind anyone?) doing a re-release overkill. Who is buying the 4-CD of Cerebral Fix ? I am somehow not very fond of re-releases, still I buy them occasionally if they feature additional stuff. Else it should be re-releases like it was released 10 years ago, then the people who have it wouldn't need to buy the re-release. Thanks for the ad
got already a big Rock Brigade list in the morning. Work to do

Yep, that's true as well... I hate those re-releases with new artwork, new design, re-recorded songs (brrr).... On the other hand, 100% identical re-releases are also annoying (obtained enslavement, how can we know if it's the first press?). |

Not metal at all but I saw a Beatles LP at a store for $1,500 which of course is fucking crazy. That's the highest price I've ever seen for music. |

The most I ever payed for a CD was $43. The most expensive CD I ever saw was $375 Until reading this thread I never imagined that a CD can cost $600 or $1000. That's insane.

Tantalus wrote: I had a Bathory yellow goat that I sold to an American for $250. I know it's worth more, but seeing as it cost me about 10, I felt that was all I could take without feeling guilty. I always get the feeling that people who'll pay 1000's for rarities have some sort of mental problem. The whole point with 'investing' should be that you get the occasional bargain that appreciates in value.
I saw a copy go on Ebay for $330 a few weeks ago. I remember finding a first press of Apocalyptic Raids in a store and told the guy I'd pay whatever he asked for it. He told me it was $300, so I gaped at him briefly before walking from the store in shame. I have some pretty rare stuff, but fortunately I've never paid more than $40 for any of my CDs or LPs. |

The most I've paid for an album was £21 for Demons and Wizard's Touched by the Crimson King. Some of the stuff in this thread is insane. I'm never going to complain about CDs that cost £15 upwards anymore. I own only one rarity, Blind Guardian's Another Stranger Me EP (Picture disc as well.) Limited Edition (Limited to 1000 copies). It cost me £2.81. I love eBay.

You are looking at a bunch of mostly kids with little to no money. Once they get jobs and earn money is when things start being worth more. Look at how much Kiss can charge for concerts, its because their main audience is middle aged, so they have money to burn. |

It's not even rare.It was some Digipak 2CD special edition or something. Anyway, it was before I had an eBay account, so Virgin Megastores was the only place I could get metal. I'd heard Terror Train and simply had to get that album. Virgin always charges what seems like a small fortune for the CDs of bands of a slightly non-mainstream following (not in Scotland anyway), like Demons and Wizards, Blind Guardian and Sonata Arctica. Now that I've got access to eBay I really regret paying so much for it. |

Some users on eBay actually do that. Most of the time it's worth for them. |

Talking about the Pyrexia - Sermons of Mockery CD I actually won it for 50usd on Ebay but due to cash flow..i didn't pay up..i guess i have just missed a chance..i guess when a time when everyone are looking for a particular album,they will pay absurd amount of money it took me only 6 months to have 6 releases from Drowned Productions quite a feat actually..some cds bought from a single seller and some at a 2nd hand bm distro.. everything u get depends mostly on luck..btw,that expulsion mcd is great stuff! |
