That would be sweet to have, but with 5 days left it's already at $360!

Did anyone else find it suspicious that both Criss (Chriss) and Jon's (John) names are misspelled in the description?

I did. But there's a bunch of other spelling errors, too, so the guy's probably an idiot. Haha. Or maybe that's the way they spelled it back then? It might be the way their parents spelled it. It would be cooler if there were some better photos.

Found this elsewhere. He spells it John, too. Pretty interesting description, though.

Metropolis USA(Pre-Avatar/Savatage)
45 Record - Includes "Lets Get Rowdy" & "Take Off With The Crowd"
A late ‘70s release on the Atlantis label (ATL-621/622) by pre-Savatage power trio Metropolis U.S.A., “Let’s Get Rowdy” b/w “Take Off With The Crowd.” Band writing credits include Maynard (Tex) McIntyre, Vinny (J. red) Greco, and John (yank) Oliva. Most fans never heard of this gem. This is the first recording with John and Criss Oliva. This is PRE-Avatar! Criss plays bass on this record! According to Dr. Killdrums only a handful of these exist. Worth around $1000.00.”

Wow, I didn't even know this existed. I bet Locky is buying it!

Let's just say that Jim (rattlehead14) has the same reputation among vinyl buyers that yetisued and kreator72 have among CD collectors.

Give ya 50 bucks for it, PK. You're notoriously generous, so......

This one is about as insane as that Despair History of Hate CD that went for $300 ... and it's the same buyer again

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110256290757

The best thing is that this CD is as well listed by kreator72 at the moment and is still under $20

it is NOT all of same albums he and me have sold last time. i have just picked up 7 titles randomly from them.
and as you see, he have sold 6 of 7 CDs for higher prices than me.
my price is lower MOST CASE. i used to sell a lot of CDs at one time. so it is so normal if 1 or 2 of 300 CDs go high insane. you don't think so?

i guess many guys know well that my auctions have sold for LOWER price than other famous sellers.
that is why many guys are bidding on my items. why many guys are bidding on my items? the reason is so simple.

i really don't care for that i have sold many CDs for lower price than other sellers.
but when i hear somebody say my auctions are insane, i feel sorry. you remember only 2 or 3 items from my 300 items.

Hehe, well I didn't say your auctions are insane, or anyone others, just that some auctions (no matter who's selling) are insane, and that Wolf Spider is definitely one of them

I have some questions about all these high-priced cd's. Is the music that good which drives the price up or is just the rareity of the item? As a collector, do you care about the quality of the music within or is just about the collecting? Has any of you spent a hefty sum on a cd, only to find out that's it's complete shite when you actually play it?

Just curious.

Yep, and I traded it to Sax, ask him about it sometime.

PK, I don't think he meant the auction itself is insane. The thread is more about how crazy the prices on some items get sometimes. Take for example one of thallos81's recent auctions. He sold a copy of Despair - History of Hate for over $300. That price is crazy, is it not? I think the spirit of this thread is more about how people sometimes tend to get caught up in the "atmosphere" of the auction and overpay sometimes for certain items. Heck, I'm all for a guy making a handsome profit on his auctions. I just find it funny sometimes how much money people are willing to pay for some things.

I SERIOUSLY doubt anyone was trying to insult you. I think you're one of the best sellers on eBay, and that's why I've bought from you so many times. This is meant more as a way to poke fun at what some people will pay for certain things that we ourselves will NOT shell out that much cash for.

I'm hoping this is one of those random albums that sells for a lot, like that Tarja Turunen promo Locky sent me. We'll see...
